Biotis natural solutions
FrieslandCampina's new brand, Biotis, provides natural solutions from dairy fractions with high functional value for immune, digestive and cognitive health, the three areas of greatest concern at the moment. "The global consumer increasingly understands health from a more comprehensive view, recognizing that all elements are connected and should not be treated in isolation," they emphasize at Trades.
The Biotis brand is focused on immune, digestive and cognitive health, the three health areas of greatest concern at the moment.
The distribution company provides global data: 60% of consumers are more concerned about their health after the pandemic, 77% are willing to take better care of themselves and 73% are trying to do so by consuming healthier food and beverages.
In this context, three Biotis solutions stand out:
- Biotis Gut Health. Solutions for digestive wellness, such as Biotis™ GOS, a prebiotic that helps balance the intestinal microbiota by promoting the intestinal bifidobacteria.
