[GhostModder]

In order to advance the development of probiotic-enhanced nutrition bars and powdered products, Nellson Nutraceutical, LLC, Los Angeles, CA, and Cleveland, OH-based Ganeden Biotech have signed a collaborative agreement.

Nellson’s technical expertise is in the area of nutrition bars and powdered products, while Ganeden manufactures patented probiotics strains. The agreement will accelerate product development initiatives, which will be made available to consumer packaged good companies worldwide.

Probiotics are "good" bacteria that have been shown to improve digestive health and boost immunity. Ganeden Biotech's patented probiotic strain, GanedenBC30, is able to survive harsh manufacturing conditions and is shelf-stable, making it an ideal probiotic for nutrition bars and powder products.

“Partnering with an industry leader such as Nellson will enable us to broaden the applications of GanedenBC30 into more functional foods, beverages and engineered nutraceuticals applications,” said Andrew Lefkowitz, president and CEO with Ganeden Biotech. “The experience, knowledge and high standard of quality that Nellson brings to the market further support our commitment to provide superior probiotic ingredients."

“We look forward to a long-term collaborative relationship with Ganeden Biotech through which we can help advance functional food and beverage products and develop new applications for healthy functional ingredients, including probiotics,” said Allan Lutz, president and CEO of Nellson Nutraceutical. “Ganeden Biotech’s leadership in probiotics, including food and beverage applications, will help us bring superior functional foods and beverages to consumers.”
