Lallemand Health Solutions, specialists in the research, development, production and marketing of probiotic yeast and bacteria and FrieslandCampina Ingredients, global innovator in healthy and functional prebiotic ingredients and solutions, have partnered to launch two brand new gut health products. PRO-Digest Health Shot and PRO-Digest Bowel Support bring together best-in-class prebiotic and probiotic ingredients that will enable companies to formulate enhanced gut health products.

Both concepts contain five grams of FrieslandCampina Ingredients’ Biotis GOS prebiotic ingredient. Biotis GOS increases levels of Bifidobacteria in the gut of healthy adults, improving gut discomfort, constipation, and improving other GI-symptoms. Biotis GOS™ has also been shown, via the gut-brain axis, to improve anxiety levels and support overall mental well-being, allowing formulators to create enhanced solutions which respond to growing consumer interest in solutions that improve both gut and overall health simultaneously.

PRO-Digest Health Shot combines Biotis GOS with five billion cfu (colony forming units) per serving of Lallemand Health Solutions’ B. lactis LAFTI B94. B. which has been shown to support a healthy microflora by feeding probiotic bacteria which reinforces gut barrier integrity and helps to relieve abdominal discomfort such as occasional constipation. PRO-Digest Bowel Support has been specifically designed to alleviate digestive discomfort and improve the day-to-day symptoms of consumers with digestive issues. The concept contains 10 billion cfu of L. paracasei HA-196, which research shows improved quality of life in adults with IBS-like symptoms, helping with bowel frequency in occasional diarrhea and/or constipation.
