Designed to boost the immune system and promote health, probiotics are gaining popularity at the grocery, and Nevella® with Probiotics, made by Heartland Sweeteners, is the first and only such sweetener currently on the market. Diabetes educators will get an early preview of Nevella® with Probiotics at their annual conference in Atlanta in early August, immediately prior to widespread availability across the country.

"We wanted to give the American Association of Diabetes Educators a first look at Nevella® with Probiotics, since people with diabetes know the importance of maintaining a healthy weight and controlling blood sugar, and no-calorie sweeteners can help with that," said Mike Servie, President of Heartland Sweeteners. "Probiotics also show promise for enhancing the immune system, which is important for those with type 1 diabetes."

Unlike other foods enhanced with probiotics, the GanedenBC30® probiotic used in Nevella® is shelf stable, and survives the digestive process to arrive in your gut where you need it. A single sachet of Nevella with Probiotics delivers greater efficacy than most other probiotics, including a cup of yogurt. Ganeden BC30 withstands baking temperatures better than other probiotics, so now consumers can add probiotic benefits to their favorite baked goods.

Nevella® with Probiotics is available in 50-count, 100-count and 200-count packets, as well as 9.7-ounce recloseable bags perfect for baking. Major retailers such as Food Lion, A & P, Bi-Lo, HEB, Piggly Wiggly, Meijer and Dollar General will stock the sweetener beginning in late August.
