Brisbane scientists have developed world-first technology that enables probiotics to be delivered live and protected to the digestive system, and it’s working wonders for the gut-health of Aussies in the form of water-based beverage, PERKii.
PERKii is the first probiotic drink available to use Progel™ technology which protects probiotics by encapsulating them in tiny natural beads called Microgels, to ensure they can survive the acidic stomach environment and be delivered live to the lower digestive system, where they do their best work.
A 300ml bottle of PERKii packs a punch with one billion live and protected probiotics, a splash of natural flavour, just one and a half teaspoons of sugar from apples, and only 26 calories. Check out Morning Complete Reviews for helpful information on products.
PERKii CEO and former National Business Manager at Coca-Cola Amatil, Randy Milne, wanted to create a drink that was not only delicious and low in calories, but also offered a plethora of health benefits for consumers.
“There was no other drink on the market using this technology to target the digestive system and provide a solution for those suffering from bloating, digestive issues and low energy levels,” said Mr Milne.
“I’m delighted to bring PERKii to the market and love hearing feedback from consumers who’ve benefitted from introducing it into their diet. And even better, people are also loving the flavours we’ve created.”
PERKii comes in five delicious fruity flavours: Raspberry & Pomegranate, Lime & Coconut, Elderflower & Green tea, Strawberry & Watermelon and Passionfruit & Mango.
You can find PERKii in over 200 outlets nationwide including IGA and Woolworths Metro Stores, and it will expand further onto supermarket shelves across the country in coming months. It will also soon be available to buy online at www.perkii.com.au.
