About Lumina Intelligence
Lumina Intelligence is a unique insights service covering the probiotics and sports nutrition markets. We focus
exclusively on the e-commerce retail channel.
With a granular level of formulation, labelling and brand positioning data, Lumina supports you in delivering a winning
NPD strategy by identifying the niche areas to succeed and by providing data for your ecommerce strategy.
This is done by analysing post-purchase reviews by customers across leading online retailers to inform digital
engagement strategies. The detailed ingredient data and product labelling (including format, dosages and health claims)
for these products is then analysed by our experts to identify where there might be growth opportunities.
We provide access to the detailed data files (in Excel) and also in data visualisation files which allows you to explore the
data according to a large number of different criteria and filters. We currently use Microsoft PowerBI, but the data can be
exported to other visualisation software tools.
Our analysts have also identified a number of key topics and trends and provide detailed written reports on these. Our
most recent reports include deep dives on:
• Skinbiotics: Probiotics for skin health, eczema, allergies & more
• Microbiome diversity through the life stages
• Probiotics and women’s health
• Market analysis for IBS-positioned probiotics supplements in 20 countries
• The first 1000 days & probiotics: A focus on maternal, infant and child health
Subscription to the service is on an annual basis, price dependent on number of users. Our reports are available to
purchase individually. Training and support is provided.

THE AUTHORS:
- Washed the dishes… thank you!
- Will work with University of Bologna to set up a website that allows rapid
search of new and old names.
- Will ensure that the proposed taxonomy will be included in the Genome Based
Taxonomy Database
OTHERS:
- ISAPP has prepared a number of informational blog posts about the situation
also based on their involvement in the LABIP working groups
- Various industry groups are coordinating to ensure consistent messages
amongst their industries (IDF, etc)
