Qld company launches dairy-free probiotic drink
Brisbane start-up ProGel has begun test marketing of Perkii, a non-dairy, low-kilojoule, juice and water probiotic drink in selected stores in Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Based on technology developed by Professor Bhesh Bhandari at the University of Queensland, ProGel encapsulates bacteria in microgels, which keep the probiotics alive in drinks and in the acidic stomach.
Perkii is available in a 300 mL bottle in three flavours: Raspberry & Pomegranate, Coconut & Lime and Elderflower & Green Tea. Each bottle contains 1 billion live Lactobacillus casei, in a refreshing drink with 109 kilojoules. The company says the live probiotics in Perkii help consumers control weight, improve gut health and boost immunity.
