Lijia will use a combination of two Shining probiotics, Bifidobacterium adolescentis and Bifidobacterium infantis, as additives in its newly developed dietary supplement powders and tablets.
These probiotics will help to reduce the symptoms of lactose intolerance, to improve gastrointestinal tract health and to boost immune system health.
Jinan Song, chairman and CEO of China-Biotics, said: “This is our first bulk additives customer specializing in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and supplements, an important part of our bulk additives growth strategy. We look forward to adding more bulk customers in new industries, which will further diversify our revenue stream.”
