HOWARU Bifido, which has been clinically proven that it may enhance the body’s natural immune response, especially amongst children and the elderly, offers beverage manufacturers the possibility to create a unique juice drink promoting both health and taste.

22 Jan 2010 --- Today the juice market shows that adding probiotics to fruit juices is a strategy that many beverage developers are using to bring additional immune health benefits to their products, while maintaining an all-natural positioning for their fruit juice ranges. Following this healthy trend, Danisco is launching a global programme which focuses on boosting immune health in refrigerated juices with the addition of a clinical dose of HOWARU Bifido.
