Probiotic innovation is due to expand in the South American market!


Ganeden Biotech has revealed that GanedenBC30 (Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086) will now be available in South America through a distribution agreement with Grupo Saporiti, SA. Saporiti will be the distributor of GanedenBC30 in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Venezuela.

‘The South American population continues to be increasingly concerned with health and wellness and are demanding functional foods and beverages to help support a healthy lifestyle,’ says Michael Bush, Senior Vice President of Ganeden Biotech. ‘Our new relationship with Saporiti will provide us the opportunity to introduce the unique capabilities of GanedenBC30 to the South American market; while leveraging Saporiti’s 80+ years of education and experience.’

GanedenBC30 is a patented probiotic ingredient that can be found in more than 100 leading food, beverage and companion animal products throughout the world. Unlike most other probiotic strains, GanedenBC30 is a spore former, which makes it highly stable and allows it to remain viable through most manufacturing processes.

‘Chronic health problems and unhealthy eating habits direct consumers towards functional foods and beverages that can help them live a better quality of life,’ says Esteban Saporiti, Commercial Director of Grupo Saporiti. ‘Holistic health is closely tied to the digestive system and, unfortunately, owing to stress and other factors, the digestive system can become unbalanced; probiotics aid in balancing intestinal function and therefore present great growth opportunity,’ added Saporiti.
