COMBINATION FORMULATIONS TO INSPIRE AND DELIGHT
Lab tested, consumer approved. Novel combinations for next-gen probiotic products.
WANT TO STAND OUT?
When scouring the shelves for a probiotic product, consumers are more likely to pick the bottle featuring a well-known botanical on the label. By combining probiotic strains with botanicals or nutritious ingredients, you’ll excel in a crowded market, strengthen your product offering and boost end-product benefits.
But while combination products are appealing on shelves, they’re a unique challenge to formulate, since pairing probiotics with other ingredients can impact strain stability.
LET US HELP.
At IFF Health, we’re hard at work testing probiotic strain stability with health and nutrition ingredients and botanicals, to help you bring novel combination products to market. Here are just a few of the viable combinations ready to be added to your next formulation.
Immune health
B. lactis BI-04® paired with Echinacea EFLA® 894 or POWDERPURE™ Elderberry offers an innovative immune-boosting solution.
Brain health
L. paracasei Lpc-37® combined with mood-boosting Sharp-PS® helps reduce perceived stress, providing peace of mind.
Weight Management
B. lactis B420™ paired with FenuLife® – a Fenugreek fiber extract with positive effects on satiety – provides a cutting-edge weight-management solution.
Women’s health
L. rhamnosus HN001™ and L. acidophilus La-14® paired with POWDERPURE™ Cranberry produces a stand-out product that targets women’s health concerns, addressing vaginal health.
“In 2020, e-commerce probiotic products with immune-boosting botanicals outpaced the traditional probiotics category by over 50%—and this combination product trend isn’t slowing anytime soon. Incorporating well-known, natural ingredients into products will not only appeal to consumers, but set brands up for long-term success.”
