Kerry Company and pioneer in the probiotic sector, is thrilled to

vegan and gluten free probiotic capsules catering to consumers'
specific needs. This innovative line of specialized wellness

The new line includes Extra Immune

supported formula, studied for over 20 years. Research indicates
ABS helps with maintenance of quality of life score1*,
helps normalize bowel habits and relieve occasional abdominal
discomfort.†
Recognizing the significant demand for women's health
supplements,2 Bio-K+ introduces Women's
Health† probiotic capsules. These capsules feature
scientifically supported probiotic strains L. rhamnosus
GR-1TM and L. reuteri RC-14TM,
