- Features and Benefits
- NUTRAFLORA® P-95 is a prebiotic fiber that promotes digestive, immune & bone health.
- NUTRAFLORA® P-95 selectively stimulates the growth and/or activity of beneficial microflora while being unavailable to pathogens.
- NUTRAFLORA® P-95 has demonstrated effects in published peer-reviewed human studies.
- NUTRAFLORA® P-95 contributes to dietary fiber, has a low caloric contribution, direct compressible and is heat stable.
- NUTRAFLORA® P-95 has a clean slightly sweet flavor profile and performs similarly to sugar at typical inclusion levels.
- The ingredient is soluble and does not contribute to viscosity. It enhances flavors- rounds & extends the sweetness profile of high intensity sweeteners.
