The human body contains trillions of microorganisms — outnumbering human cells by 10 to 1 (1). The body is their host and they interact with our human cells in ways that scientists and formulators have only relatively recently begun to fully understand.
Fortunately, there is a powerful foundation of research behind Nutiani HN001™, Nutiani HN019™ and Lactoferrin supporting structure-function benefits in the areas of immunity, gut health, normal digestion, bone health, healthy mood, skin health and more.*
Has a revolution in probiotic-driven immune health begun?
A Gut Feeling This Can Help Your Products — Nutiani HN001™
Backed by 27+ human clinical studies that support immune and gut health in both young and older populations, Nutiani HN001™ (Lactobacillus rhamnosus) is manufactured using a proprietary method that increases stability and helps retain viability.
Mechanism of Action
It's a strain of L. rhamnosus that:
- Works to improve digestive health by reducing gut discomfort and constipation as well as potentially reducing the risk of allergens.*
- Supports immunity (2,3).*
- May reduce some negative effects associated with increased cytokine interleukin 6 levels.*
- May support magnesium and calcium retention, which supports bone mineral density.*
- May support healthy mood in women after childbirth (4).*
- May support skin health in young children(5).*
Ideal as a standalone product, it’s also compatible with a wide variety of other health and wellness ingredients, boasting excellent shelf-life stability and a reduced die-off rate.
It's a New Zealand and European-sourced, non-GMO ingredient in freeze-dried powder form with a minimum cell count of 550B CFU/g.
Nutiani HN001 is Non-GMO Project Verified, vegan, Kosher and Halal, and is ideal for a variety of formulations, including supplements, drink-powder mixes, yogurts and confectionaries.*

Nutiani HN019™: Support for Immunity and Digestion
Backed by 35+ human clinical studies that support gut integrity and barrier functions in both young and older populations, Nutiani HN019™ (Bifidobacterium lactis) is also manufactured using a proprietary method that increases stability and helps retain viability.
Mechanism of Action
It’s a strain of B. lactis that:
- May enhance immunity (6,7).*
- Promotes bowel movement by decreasing intestinal transit time (8).*
- Supports healthy gut microbiota(9).*
- May support the body's natural protection against constipation(10).*
- May improve the availability of iron in the body.*
Researched in numerous human clinical studies conducted in the elderly, children and infants, Nutiani HN019 is a stable probiotic manufactured to reduce die-off rate.
Can be formulated into supplements, yogurt, powdered beverages, confectionaries, and high-fiber juices.
Nutiani HN019 is Non-GMO Project Verified, vegan, Kosher and Halal, and is ideal for a variety of formulations, including supplements, drink-powder mixes, yogurts and confectionaries.*

Whey to Go! Lactoferrin for Natural Immunity.
Mile-derived whey is a complex protein composed up of smaller protein subfractions (peptides), including beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, immunoglobulins (IgGs), glycomacropeptides, bovine serum albumin (BSA), and peptides including lactoperoxidases, lysozyme and lactoferrin.
Each of whey’s subfractions has its own unique biological properties. In the past, separating out these subfractions at commercial scale was impossible or cost-prohibitive, however the newest technologies have allowed a handful of companies to separate out highly bioactive peptides from whey, like lactoferrin.
Mechanism of Action
Lactoferrin is a multifunctional protein that has immune-enhancing properties:
- A majority of research suggests that lactoferrin serves as a beneficial immune modulator, as it is a primary activator of the host immune response (11).
- A clinical study in 10 ten people who consumed lactoferrin concluded “these results suggest that lactoferrin administration may influence the primary activation of the host defense system” (11).
- In addition to its immunomodulating effects, this peptide has powerful probiotic properties. Lactoferrin is able to help kill off harmful bacteria in the gut encourage the growth of “good” bacteria in the intestine (12).
Since levels of this immune factor decrease with age, recent attention on the value of natural immune boosters has greatly increased interest in this nutrient.
Our lactoferrin is extracted using gentle technologies that retain its naturally occurring health properties. It is an ideal bioactive for use in adult nutrition, thanks to its iron-binding, pro-immunity functionality, and contribution to iron metabolism.*
