Danisco puts health for all at the top of the agenda

Danisco will show that a healthy, balanced diet is within everyone’s reach at the inaugural Vitafoods Asia 2011.

Living up to the promise to “bring health to everyday life,” the company will present a stand full of scientifically proven ingredients and up-to-the-minute sample concepts – that offer something to all consumer age groups, from children to seniors. The focus will be on solutions that both meet the needs of today’s on-the-go lifestyle and pave the way to health and nutrition claims on end products, with no compromise on taste or texture.

PinVita™ – science at heart

NEW - PinVita™ Phytosterols from Danisco are derived from a natural and sustainable pine source.  PinVita™ Phytosterols are a pure and effective way to keep the heart and arteries in shape by lowering the level of LDL cholesterol in your blood through reduced cholesterol absorption. We will be showcasing our new dietary supplement format which contains a combination of 2 ingredients – PinVita™ and ActivK™ Vitamin K2 MK-7. The combination delivers a powerful supplement to maintain cardiovascular health.

HOWARU® Balance: dual immune and digestive health benefits

A world leader in probiotic development, Danisco will showcase HOWARU® Balance, a family of probiotic supplements that bring digestive and immune health benefits to the whole family.

Each of the HOWARU® Balance formulations contains a combination of two of the most highly documented probiotic strains available - Bifidobacterium lactis HN019 and Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM®.

  • HOWARU® Balance is designed to meet the needs of adults aged 18-55, strengthening their defences against the day-to-day stresses that come with a hectic work schedule, travelling and parenthood.
  • HOWARU® Balance Plus targets older adults and seniors at a stage in life when colonic transit times increase and the gut’s beneficial bifidobacterium population starts to decline. The supplement includes Litesse®, a unique source of prebiotic dietary without the toleration concerns of many other fibres.

OsmoAid™ - The feel good laxative

Many who suffer from idiopathic constipation will go to different lengths to relieve its symptoms, even if it is with the use of harsh laxatives. Lactitol, a disaccharide sugar alcohol, is approved by the Food and Agriculture Organisation and the World Health Organisation, and has been used for more than 20 years for its ability to promote gut mobility in constipated individuals. Danisco is proud to launch OsmoAid™ - its own brand of Lactitol for digestive health. OsmoAid™ is highly preferred over other osmotic laxative as it provides the relief minus the harsh effects of conventional treatments and meets the Danisco standard for product quality and traceability.

Bone health in a capsule

ActivK™ K2 MK-7— Best known from the Japanese food “natto” and available from Danisco in natural or synthetic form, this vitamin K2 ingredient assists in the binding of calcium to the bone matrix, helping to manage bone loss, promote bone integrity and significantly reduce the risk of fracture. We will be sampling our new dietary supplement format combining ActivK™ K2 MK-7, vitamin D3 and calcium.  This supplement contains the perfect trilogy of vitamins that are essential for strong bone health and healthy maintenance of bone mass.
