Bio-K+ Debuts Shelf-Stable Probiotic Capsules for Multiple Health Applications

The company also enters the U.S. mass channel with two products available in Walmart stores.

Bio-K+, part of Kerry Group, has launched a new line of multi-benefit, shelf-stable probiotic supplements featuring the company’s proprietary strains and/or other science-backed ingredients for immune health, women’s health, stress support and bowel support.
 
The product line includes Extra Immune Health with Wellmune (yeast beta glucan) as well as Extra Stress Support with Sensoril (ashwagandha extract) capsules. Both products deliver probiotics to the digestive system along with other clinically studied ingredients for immune health or everyday stress support. 
 
These formulas, already available in drinkable format, are now offered in shelf stable capsules, containing 25 billion CFU probiotic cultures per serving guaranteed until the expiration date when stored at room temperature. They feature targeted release technology for proper delivery of probiotic bacteria in the gut.
 
The Advanced Bowel Support (ABS)  probiotic capsules contain 50 billion CFU per capsule of Bio-K+’s scientifically supported formula. Research indicates ABS helps with maintenance of quality of life score, helps normalize bowel habits and relieve occasional abdominal discomfort.
 
Recognizing significant demand for women’s health supplements, Bio-K+ has also introduced Women’s Health probiotic capsules featuring probiotic strains L. rhamnosus GR-1 and L. reuteri RC-14.
 
The full line will be available at Sprouts Farmers Market and other health food stores nationwide. Additionally, Bio-K+ makes its first appearance in the mass channel with the introduction of Advanced Bowel Support (ABS) and Extra Stress Support with Sensoril (ashwagandha) probiotic capsules at Walmart stores across the U.S.
