Ingredia Nutritional Forms Distribution Agreement on Immune Health Ingredient

06 Apr 2015 --- Ingredia Nutritional, renowned for offering truly innovative ingredients with scientifically validated health benefits, will have a strong presence at Vitafoods Europe this year presenting the newest addition to their range: Wellmune. In fact, the company recently finalized an exclusive distribution agreement with Biothera – US biotechnology company dedicated to improving immune health – for the promotion of Wellmune to the functional food & beverage industry in Europe.

The immune system is the natural defense mechanism that protects our body against infections and other attacks. Unfortunately, a number of factors can challenge it and reduce our ability to fight back. Wellmune is proven to help safely strengthen the immune system, making it easier for consumers to be well and stay well!

Numerous clinical studies, performed on over 900 volunteers and published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, have demonstrated Wellmune’s efficacy in everyday immune support and overall wellbeing. Unlike some immune health ingredients which over-stimulate the immune system in ways that may be harmful overtime, Wellmune naturally enhances human immune responses by boosting key innate immune cells (neutrophils) that are part of the body’s natural defenses. Therefore ensuring immediate and maximal protection.

Derived from the cell walls of highly purified proprietary baker’s yeast, Wellmune is a natural 1,3/1,6 beta glucan. This patented extract is a well-documented ingredient with global regulatory approval. Wellmune is safe for everyday consumption and suggested as preventive care for anyone wishing to strengthen their immune system. Daily intake recommendations inspired Ingredia Nutritional to develop innovative concepts of food and beverages featuring the ingredient. They will unveil those functional versions of everyday household staples during Vitafoods illustrating the endless opportunities for development opened up by this exceptional ingredient.

Designed to be easily incorporated in a wide range of applications from cultured dairy to baked goods, smoothies and more, Wellmune is ideal to deliver proven immune health benefits to a variety of consumers. Adapted to the whole family, from children to seniors, Wellmune has also demonstrated its efficacy in athletes, helping them to stay healthy before and after intense workouts which can take a toll on the body’s immune function.
