Meet Intoleran: Your Partner in Managing Food Intolerances
Navigating food intolerances can be challenging, but with innovative brands like Intoleran, managing these everyday hurdles has become a lot simpler. In this blog, we explore the story behind Intoleran with Photios Poupoulas, Managing Director of Intoleran (Australia). Discover how this unique brand is transforming lives by supporting Australians dealing with food intolerances.
The Intoleran Journey: From the Netherlands to Australia
Intoleran’s story began in 2008 in The Netherlands, under its original name, Disolut. Founded by Remko Hiemstra, a nurse who personally experienced the frustrations of lactose intolerance, the brand started with a clear purpose: to create practical solutions for managing food intolerances.
What began with a focus on lactose intolerance soon evolved into a broader mission, expanding Intoleran’s product range to address various food intolerances, including less common ones. Under the leadership of International Director Harmen Treep, Intoleran has grown its presence across Europe, the UK, and the United States.
In 2020, pharmacist Photios Poupoulas introduced Intoleran to Australia, recognising a gap in effective options for Australians managing food intolerances. His commitment to delivering innovative solutions has made Intoleran a trusted name in many Australian households.
Where to Start: Choosing the Right Intoleran Product
If you’re just starting your journey with Intoleran, the best first step is to consult a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or dietitian, to identify your food intolerances. Once you have clarity, Intoleran’s Trial Packs are an excellent way to find the product that suits you best.
A standout option is Quatrase 10,000, which is particularly helpful for individuals with multiple intolerances or IBS. It’s designed to support digestion and improve comfort when dealing with various triggers.
Highlights of Their Journey
One of Intoleran’s proudest achievements is introducing DAO Mini and DAO Plus into Australia in early 2023. These products offer a unique enzyme solution for histamine intolerance, a lesser-known but impactful condition.
Additionally, achieving Monash University FODMAP Certification was a significant milestone. This certification reassures customers that our products are rigorously tested for ingredient accuracy and purity, making them suitable for those following a low-FODMAP diet.
