USANA Health Sciences (NASDAQ: USNA) today launched Probiotic Plus, a new probiotic food supplement. Probiotics help replenish beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract, which can aid good digestion and enhance immune function. This new product will be available in the United States, Canada, Australia/New Zealand and six other USANA markets.

“We are thrilled to be able to introduce Probiotic Plus, as digestive health and immune function lie at the core of overall health and well being,” said Dr. Tim Wood, USANA’s Executive Vice President of Research and Development. “Probiotics have been one of our key research goals for years. Probiotic Plus sets the standard for shelf life and convenience and it contains a combination of the two most researched probiotic strains known. This product will bring probiotics to a new level.”

Probiotic Plus contains a proprietary blend of specific strains of probiotic bacteria that are clinically proven to survive the harsh, acidic environment of the stomach. Probiotic Plus is packaged in an easy-to-carry stick pack and can be taken alone or added to cold beverages or foods every one or two days to help maintain digestive health and immune function. Each stick pack is filled with 12 billion viable bacteria in a 50/50 mixture of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, LGG® and Bifidobacterium BB-12®. These strains of bacteria survive passage through the stomach exceptionally well and colonize the intestines effectively.
