New high-potency probiotic supplement features Danisco’s HOWARU™

MADISON, Wis. (November 5, 2007) – Danisco recently signed a license agreement with Young Living Essential Oils, Lehi, Utah, for use of its HOWARU™ probiotics in a high-potency probiotic supplement called Life 5™. Young Living Essential Oils’ Life 5 is a premium five-strain probiotic formulation marketed to enhance intestinal health, sustain energy and improve immunity.

According to FAO/WHO, the general definition for probiotics is: “live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.” Danisco’s HOWARU™ probiotics are unique not only for their condition-specific formulations and clinically proven results, but also because of the stability of those strains. Unlike many other commercially available probiotics, HOWARU™ probiotics retain their efficacy through processing, transportation and storage.

“Danisco’s unique condition-specific approach to probiotics allows us to deliver superior health solutions to our customers,” says Scott Bush, vice president of Danisco’s dietary supplements business unit. “We’re pleased to see Young Living Essential Oils incorporating this philosophy in its Life 5 product.” Danisco’s HOWARU™ probiotics are a key ingredient in Young Living’s Life 5 product. Both HOWARU™ Bifido and HOWARU™ Rhamnosus, which are included in Life 5, are recognized for their immune-modulating properties.

“While developing Life 5, we performed an extensive review of all available beneficial strains,” says Doug Corrigan, senior director of marketing for Young Living Essential Oils. “When it came to adherence, viability and clinical efficacy, nothing was in the same league as the HOWARU™ strains. We are excited about what they will do for our customers.”

Life 5 made its debut in early September at Young Living Essential Oil’s annual convention in Washington, D.C. The product is now available to the general public through the company’s distributors.
