A heritage you can trust

Celebrating 50 years of healthy throats and mouths, worldwide.

Some of the world’s greatest stories start with a scientific discovery. This one starts in 1967, with the researchers at Angelini synthesizing an anti-inflammatory molecule. It would soon be known as benzydamine, and then in the 1970s, as Tantum Verde. Now it’s known as an established range of sore throat and mouth disorder products. And recognised internationally for its clinically tested benefits.

We could measure the success of Tantum Verde in numbers. The fact that it’s available in almost 70 countries worldwide. And backed up by a robust clinical evidence base. Or we could measure it in the things that really matter to us: laughter and smiles and songs and conversations – all the things we need a healthy throat and mouth for, to truly make the most of the time with the people we love. 

Spending quality time with the ones nearest and dearest to us. It’s what we have prided ourselves in protecting, for over 50 years.
