The company is presenting its new range at CPHI Milan, featuring three pectin-based products: GummiBiotics Defense, GummiBiotics IBS Ease, and GummiBiotics Lean. These products contain ingredients like EpiCor postbiotic and DE111 probiotic.
“At Sirio, we are proud of our R&D capabilities and invest a significant portion of our earnings in them. Our technical and formulation teams make up 13% of our total employee base, which is unique for a CDMO,” said Sara Lesina, general manager of Sirio Europe & Americas.
“We work closely with our customers and experts to create innovative products that lead the market. The launch of the new GummiBiotics range demonstrates our commitment to partnering with top ingredient suppliers to deliver science-backed biotics in delicious gummy form,” she added.
A growing market
The biotic supplement segment accounts for a significant portion of all supplements sold, according to Sirio’s press release.
