BEVERAGE

   
More and more customers are asking for a lot of digestive ingredients because ten to twenty percent of adults worldwide suffer from intestinal functional disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and nearly 40 percent of older adults have one or more digestive disorders.

Probiotics are becoming one of the most recognized ingredients by consumers for digestive health because they have the ability to improve levels of positive microflora in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and reduce negative bacteria. Furthermore, probiotics have multiple other health benefits, including improved transit and alleviating IBS symptoms.
