OLLY, San Francisco, CA, has launched a new children’s gummy vitamin featuring Wellmune, a natural immune health ingredient from Beloit, WI-based manufacturer Kerry. The new product, OLLY Kids Mighty Immunity, combines the clinically-proven immune support of Wellmune along with acerola cherry, elderberry and zinc. OLLY Kids Mighty Immunity is available in a Cherry Berry flavor.
 
“We know immune support is critical for keeping children and families healthy,” said Taryn Forrelli, vice president of innovation and resident nutritionist of OLLY. “Kids Mighty Immunity is part of OLLY’s new gummy collection formulated to meet the ever-changing needs of little ones’ and easily delivers daily immune health benefits through an expertly blended gummy containing clinically-proven Wellmune.”
 
Wellmune’s ability to support the immune system is backed by numerous published, peer-reviewed clinical studies that demonstrate the ingredient’s ability to help safely and naturally mobilize billions of innate immune cells that are part of the body’s natural defenses.  A recent clinical study showed that 62% of children taking Wellmune reported “good” health status compared to only 15% of the children taking a placebo. The study also found that children taking Wellmune had six fewer sick days over a 12-week period.
 
“A strong immune system is very important to a child’s overall health and well-being,” said John Quilter, business development director for Wellmune. “As a key ingredient in OLLY Kids Mighty Immunity, Wellmune can help children be well and stay well through a daily kid-friendly gummy.”
