“Probiotics and prebiotics are a powerful couple when it comes to boosting gut health," said Aisha Yang, CEO, Herbaland. "They work together synergistically to improve the number of good gut bacteria, improving the efficacy of the product. We worked thoughtfully with Lallemand Health Solutions, a global leader in the probiotic industry, to get the ingredient mix just right while making sure to maintain a tasty end result. All 10 probiotic strains are coated with Lallemand’s Bio-Support™ Technology, a proprietary blend of polysaccharides and proteins that helps protect them throughout the manufacturing process and through their journey within our digestive tract after consumption.”
