Nordic Naturals launches allergen-free probiotic

Watsonville, Calif. — Nordic Naturals on Monday introduced Nordic Probiotic, an allergen-free probiotic that contains no dairy, wheat, gluten, corn or soy. Packaged in 60-count bottles, the vegetarian capsules can be used by everyone, including individuals with digestive issues or food sensitivities, the company suggested. Nordic Probiotic is 100% vegetarian and non-GMO.

“This is important for 20% of Americans who experience some type of digestive discomfort regularly,” Keri Marshall, chief medical officer for Nordic Naturals said.

Nordic Probiotic combines 12 billion live cultures — including Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1 — with prebiotics to help support the growth of friendly bacteria while promoting digestive system balance. The highly stable formulation requires no refrigeration.
