WAGENINGEN, the Netherlands, Nov. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- An organic version of BeniCaros®, the award-winning immune health ingredient for foods, beverages and supplements, is now available upon request, NutriLeads BV announced today.
BeniCaros is a soluble prebiotic carrot fiber known as RG-I (Rhamnogalacturonan-I) that trains the immune system to respond faster. Clinical research shows BeniCaros’ dual mechanism of action accelerated and strengthened healthy cellular and gut-initiated immune responses to significantly reduce the severity and duration of common cold symptoms. BeniCaros is sourced from upcycled carrot pomace.
“BeniCaros is earth friendly, people friendly and clean label,” said Joana Carneiro, NutriLeads Chief Executive Officer. “Organic certification expands BeniCaros’ versatility as an immune-support solution for a broad range of products in the nearly $200 billion global organic food and beverage market.”

This includes seeds, soil conditions, weed and pest management, storage and recordkeeping.
