Anlit introduces probiotic supplement to prevent ear, throat infections

Anlit's latest development is a probiotic supplement to help prevent sore throats, colds and ear infections in children.

In collaboration with international food ingredient company Frutarom, Anlit's newest product is based on BLIS K12, a probiotic that targets harmful bacteria in the mouth that cause sore throats, ear infections and colds--all conditions that often plague small children.

Researchers have been studying BLIS K12 for the past 30 years. They have shown that children whose bodies naturally contain this strain of probiotic have 50 percent fewer instances of sore throats. In another study among children who are candidates for surgically implanted tubes in their ears to prevent recurring infections, BLIS K12 also appeared to reduce the number of ear infections.

“BLIS K12 is an oral probiotic with excellent safety," says Shai Karlinski, vice president of sales and marketing at Anlit. With ear infections being the most common reason for doctor visits among children, the new supplement is a significant development, Karlinski says.

"Consuming one child-friendly, bear-shaped supplement each day can help prevent common ear infections and sore throats in children," he says.

The new supplement shaped like a bite-size bear, sweetened with a natural sugar substitute and natural vanilla flavor. It is also certified kosher.

Anlit launches probiotic supplement for kids

A probiotic supplement is Anlit's latest new product for children. The supplement, which enhances the health of the immune and digestive systems, was developed in close cooperation with Danisco, a food ingredient company now part of Dupont.

Like many of Anlit's products, the supplement is shaped like a small, bite-size teddy bear and has a vanilla flavor. The active ingredient is HOWARU, a probiotic formulation developed by Danisco.

“We are very proud to co-develop with Danisco a high-value and healthy probiotic product for children,” says Shai Karlinski, vice president of sales and marketing at Anlit. “This move is in line with our mission to build up a market for our supplements for children and become a leading manufacture in this market."

The market for products boosting the immune system is growing, with supplements containing probiotics leading the trend, according to Innova Market Insights. This is partly due to rising fears about a global influenza epidemic.

Anlit's new supplements contains two of the most popular and highly researched types of probiotics -- lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium. Both strains of probiotics promote the growth of helpful bacteria in the digestive systems, which, in turn, also enhances the immune system and overall health.

The new supplements is certified kosher and contains no artificial flavors or colors.
