Hansen targets kids with child-friendly probiotics stick

27-Oct-2008

Danish probiotics supplier, ChrHansen, is launching a child-friendly probiotic stick at Health Ingredients Europe in Paris this year.

Chr Hansen notes that probiotics are the fastest growing segment of the dietary supplements industry with a growing body of research linking probiotics to children’s gut health, diabetic and immunity benefits.

“The effects seen after supplementing the diet with probiotics are best documented within gastrointestinal infection, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and allergies,” said Anders Paerregaard, leading pediatrician at the University Clinic of Pediatrics, H:S Hvidovre Hospital, Denmark.

Chr Hansen will be demonstrating its new wares at booth D008 at HIE.
