Australian company Soho Flordis International (SFI), an international provider of natural medicines, has acquired the nutraceutical company ProThera, which has 50 years of formulation experience and a product line of probiotics and dietary supplements distributed exclusively by healthcare providers. With headquarters in Reno, NV, ProThera will serve as a regional hub for the commercialization of the SFI Group product portfolio and future pipeline.

In a corresponding move, SFI also acquired Ginsana, a developer of natural medicine products based in Bioggio, Switzerland. Owned by Pharmaton, a Boehringer Ingelheim Group company, Ginsana brings state-of-the-art facilities and a line of six natural medicine brands to the SFI portfolio. Ginsana will continue to market its products under the Ginsana brand name and manufacture natural medicines.
