Take fermented milk to the next level with probiotics
Support consumer health by delivering the world's most-documented probiotics in great-tasting fermented milk products.
Consumers’ perception of probiotics
Our global research confirms that people understand probiotics. There is a strong association between probiotics and digestive wellness, immune support, and general microbiome health1. As the science continues to build and the consumer journey progresses, join us to take probiotic dairy to the next level.

Novonesis’ Nu-trish® - true probiotics that deliver
Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host2.
In a fermented dairy product, this means the probiotic should be live throughout the shelf life of the final product. And the cell count per serving should match the clinical evidence for the health benefit linked to the strain.
We develop Nu-trish® biosolutions with this in mind, so you can create true probiotic solutions for your consumers.
The Nu-trish® range includes the world’s most-documented probiotic strains.

LGG®
The world’s most-documented probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus, LGG®, supports the body's natural defenses3.

BB-12®
The world’s most- documented bifidobacterium, Bifidobacterium BB-12®, supports bowel function4.

L. CASEI 431®
The well-documented probiotic strain Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. casei, L. CASEI 431® shows benefits within immune health5.
