The new refreshing tonic features carefully crafted flavors, each designed to provide specific health benefits supported by IMMUSE®, a postbiotic backed by modern science.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- AMABIE™, a functional beverage from Step Change Innovations, recently launched its new Sparkling Immunity Tonic inspired by the legendary Japanese sea creature Amabie, known for bringing wellness and abundance in a time of need. This tonic combines Japan's rich heritage with the cutting-edge science of IMMUSE® to offer health-conscious consumers a refreshing way to support their immunity.
AMABIE™ tonic lets consumers honor their health and explore premium blends of traditional Japanese flavors in a functional beverage powered by IMMUSE®, the branded form Lactococcus lactis strain Plasma (LC-Plasma), which is a unique strain of lactic acid bacteria (think probiotic) cultivated using Kyowa Hakko Kirin's pioneering cell culturing technology and heat-treated so that it's no longer viable. Unlike live probiotics, IMMUSE® ensures its resilience during food manufacturing processes.
"It's exciting to be part of such an innovative story, charged with passion and tradition," said Karen Todd, RD, CSCS, EP-C, CISSN, and Vice President of Global Brand Marketing, Kyowa Hakko USA, Inc. Todd added, "With IMMUSE® groundbreaking abilities to activate pDCs (plasmacytoid dendritic cells) to support immune function at the cellular level for more dynamic and robust responses, it prepares the body's natural defense system to support physical health."
The perfect blend of AMABIE™ Sparkling Immunity Tonic flavors honors Serenity (Sakura Cherry Blossom & Strawberry), Energy (Yuzu Honey), and Focus (Ume Plum & Sencha Green Tea). Each tonic is created for different occasions, such as relaxation, energy to keep the drive throughout the day, and concentration and cognitive performance while providing a gentle, sustained boost.
"At AMABIE™, we are committed to wellness without compromise, incorporating the full recommended dose of IMMUSE® in our sparkling immunity tonic," said Joe Bradely, CEO, Step Change Innovations. "Backed by extensive research, with over 30 scientific studies, including 15 human clinical trials, IMMUSE® is a proven, safe way to support immune health."
IMMUSE® and AMABIE™ promise to support health to enjoy an active life and pass along vitality. This new innovative beverage is now available at select retailers and online, bringing the promise of wellness and abundance to individuals seeking to enhance their immune support routine.
