Sigrid signs exclusive distribution deal with Kronans Apotek, a major Swedish pharmacy chain, for Sigrid Stabiliser

Follows successful e-commerce launch for innovative blood sugar management solution

Stockholm,  February 5, 2025 – Today, Sigrid Therapeutics announces that their innovative product, Sigrid Stabiliser, will be made exclusively available for sale at the pharmacy chain Kronans Apotek, starting in February 2025. Until now it has only been available through the Company’s e-commerce platform.

The partnership means that SiPore®, a natural and science-based technology that regulates blood sugar levels and weight, will be made available to a broader Swedish customer base. This strengthens Sigrid’s vision to help prevent chronic lifestyle diseases.

Innovative solution made available for blood sugar and weight management

Professor Tore Bengtsson, an expert in physiology at Stockholm University, developed the innovative, safe and patented SiPore® technology, which slows down the breakdown of carbohydrates in the intestine. Similar to GLP-1 drugs, this leads to more stable blood sugar, reduces sweet cravings and snacking, and contributes to weight loss. The technology has proven to be both effective and safe by acting locally in the gastrointestinal tract without being absorbed by the body. Consumer surveys have shown that 93% of people feel full for longer, 89% report reduced sweet cravings between meals, and 92% experience less bloating.

The importance of the partnership with Kronans Apotek

Sigrid Stabiliser, based on the SiPore® technology, was successfully launched on the Swedish market via the company's own e-commerce platform in the spring of 2024 and sold out after just a couple of months. Now Sigrid Therapeutics is taking the next step through an exclusive partnership with Kronans Apotek, Sweden's largest pharmacy chain with an extensive e-commerce offering over 20,000 products. With such impressive reach and their strong focus on sustainable health solutions, Sigrid Stabiliser now has an optimal platform to make preventive health more accessible to Swedish consumers. This strategic partnership is an important milestone in Sigrid's endeavor to offer science-based and natural alternatives for blood sugar control and weight management, and contributes to the company's vision that no one should live with lifestyle diseases.

Sana Alajmovic, CEO of Sigrid Therapeutics, says: "We are very happy to collaborate with Kronans Apotek, which with its more than 500 pharmacies and strong e-commerce has a unique reach in Sweden. This partnership represents a fantastic opportunity to make Sigrid Stabiliser available to more people looking for safe and sustainable solutions to control their blood sugar. We are convinced that this collaboration will be crucial in making preventive healthcare an integral part of people's everyday lives."

Jörgen Bitzekis, E-com director at Kronans Apotek, adds: "We see a great need for products that not only treat but also prevent health problems. Being able to include Sigrid Stabiliser in our range is an important step in making preventive health more accessible to our customers. We are both proud and happy to have been exclusively selected to offer such an innovative and ground-breaking solution for increased wellbeing."
