NutriLeads announced that BeniCaros, a prebiotic fiber with immune support benefits upcycled from carrot pomace, is now available in five different formats to accommodate diverse formulation needs.
 
The new lineup includes BeniCaros with varying concentration levels of the active ingredient, Rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I), to allow for larger daily serving sizes. These variations in purity are designed to meet European regulatory requirements and align with a wide range of application needs.
 
“We are thrilled to announce the debut of our diversified portfolio of BeniCaros, which also enables us to bring some of these product options to the European market,” said Joana Carneiro, PhD, NutriLeads CEO. “This innovative, science-based precision prebiotic fiber enables manufacturers to deliver multiple health benefits to consumers who want to strengthen their gut and immune health.”
 
BeniCaros is evidenced to improve markers of innate immune function, while also promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria species in the gut such as Bifidobacterium. This leads to increased production of short-chain fatty acids which play a crucial role in supporting gut health and the microbiome. In vitro research shows that the fiber is linked to significantly lower gas production than other prebiotic fibers.
 
Unlike other prebiotics, BeniCaros has a complex molecular structure that enables precision targeting of specific beneficial gut microbes, as compared to other prebiotics, its benefits are predictable.
 
“All BeniCaros product formats contain an efficacious serving of RG-I based on our clinical results,” said Carneiro. “Our powder, liquid and organic product forms and varying RG-I concentration levels offer formulation solutions for virtually any food, beverage or supplement application. In any form, BeniCaros has an attractive formulation profile suitable for most foods, beverages and supplements.”
