Bio-K Plus, a Kerry Company, announced the launch of its new functional drinkable probiotic, the Extra Stress Support with Sensoril®.
With a mission to deliver science-powered wellness and respond to consumers' evolving lifestyles, the brand has developed this unique formula that consists of Bio-K+'s patented probiotic blend shown to support digestive health, combined with Sensoril®, a functional ingredient backed by 13 published research papers and ongoing research. Sensoril® is a plant-based premium ashwagandha extract (withania somnifera) renowned for managing everyday stress and promoting emotional well-being.
Its unique root and leaf combination of the ashwagandha plant leads to an array of bio actives that help the body cope with everyday stress by reducing cortisol levels, a marker of occasional stress and relieving occasional sleeplessness.
Following the successful 2021 launch of Bio-K+'s Extra Probiotic Drinkables with added benefits for immune health and cognition, the Stress Support formula also offers a high probiotic content - 80 billion CFU of Bio-K+'s three strain probiotic blend, with a protein base of fermented oats and pumpkin seeds combined with Sensoril® ashwagandha.
All of this is delivered in the form of a delicious lemon and ginger-flavored drinkable probiotic, that tastes like a fresh smoothie. Furthermore, the formula is vegan, gluten-free, organic, and non-GMO Project verified, making it accessible for a variety of lifestyles and preferences. "We are thrilled to expand our product offering in the fast-growing Functional Beverages Category1 and cater to consumers' keen interest in healthy lifestyles and wellbeing" says Viviane Lemire, Marketing Director of Bio-K+ Plus.
