The acquisition marks a significant milestone in Pharma Dynamics’ growth strategy, particularly in expanding its Complementary and Alternative Medicines (CAMS) portfolio.
Erik Roos, chief executive officer of Pharma Dynamics, says a potential acquisition has been a longstanding goal within the company’s growth strategy.
“MNI’s product portfolio is well-aligned with Pharma Dynamics’ overall product offering across therapeutic areas. With our future focus on metabolic diseases, including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes, as well as our well-established neuroscience portfolio, the acquisition rounds out our product offering in these areas by providing patients with self-help and complementary medicine to support them on their wellness journey.”
Roos also highlighted a shift in consumer behaviour towards preventive medicine and self-care solutions, stating, “We are responding to the growing trend of patients seeking proactive healthcare by offering robust, evidence-based support and solutions.”
MNI’s product range, which has been available in South Africa for several years, includes nine popular consumer brands that address metabolic syndrome and related conditions. These products support insulin-resistance management, brain function, skin health, inflammation control, joint preservation, sleep quality, immune function, and women’s hormonal health.
Holistic healthcare alignment
Mariaan du Plessis, chief executive officer of MNI, shared her excitement about joining Pharma Dynamics: “We are proud to partner with a company that shares our dedication to holistic and preventive healthcare. MNI’s unique plant-based formulations, developed in 2002 by a team of healthcare professionals, have been extensively tested to ensure their efficacy.”
Pharma Dynamics has always emphasised a holistic approach to patient care, providing comprehensive post-prescription support to drive lifestyle changes. The acquisition of MNI aligns perfectly with this ethos, bringing a wealth of patient-support material, including meal and exercise plans, motivational content and information on various disease entities to guide and support patients.
