Following the introduction of its Praeventia cookies and bars, Groupe Biscuits Leclerc is continuing its food revolution with the launch of two new Praeventia cookies with Wellmune WGP®, an ingredient clinically proven to enhance key immune responses. Developed by the Research and Development team at Leclerc, an acknowledged food industry leader, Praeventia products are the latest in functional foods.

“We are proud to offer our customers two new innovative cookies sold under the Praeventia brand. The natural ingredient we’ve added to the cookies called Wellmune WGP® is a major drawing card for customers committed to eating well,” explains Frédéric Langlois, Vice President, Research and Development at Groupe Biscuits Leclerc Inc.
What is Wellmune WGP®?
Wellmune WGP® is a product of Biothera, a biotechnology company dedicated to improving immune health. This natural ingredient is derived from the cell walls of baker’s yeast. One 30 g packet of Praeventia cookies provides 100 mg of β-glucans Wellmune WGP®. Consuming 100 to 200 mg* of β-glucans a day activates key immune cells (neutrophils).

March is Nutrition Month
Leclerc is proud to contribute in a tangible way to improving the health and well-being of its customers. “Eating well and staying physically active are key to improving health. Praeventia products are not only a great food choice for a balanced diet, they are also a reflection of the company’s core philosophy of reaching out to people and helping improve their well-being,” says a proud Frédéric Langlois, Vice President of R&D at Groupe Biscuits Leclerc.
