About Cenovis
Cenovis is a vitamins, minerals and supplements brand in the Opella lineup. Its own Australian site says the products are made in Australia, describes more than 85 years of expertise since 1938, and lists ranges for immune support, women's daily nutrition and magnesium for muscle cramps. The site also claims the top immunity brand position in Australia, citing IQVIA scan data; that claim is the brand's own and is not repeated here as fact.

About the owner: Opella
Opella is a privately held company headquartered in France. Brandtree records 1 brand under its control.
Opella is the consumer healthcare business that Sanofi carved out. On 30 April 2025 Sanofi and CD&R closed the transaction: CD&R took a 50.0% controlling stake, Sanofi kept 48.2% and Bpifrance holds 1.8%, so Sanofi no longer controls it. Opella is headquartered in France, has more than 11,000 employees, and lists 16 brands on its own site. Only the brands whose origin and market its own pages show are recorded here; Dulcolax, Buscopan, Enterogermina, Essentiale, Pharmaton, Allegra and others on its list are left out because no document opened gives their origin.
