Novonesis' MindAble 1714 is a probiotic that's ready to be used in everything from chocolate bars and snacks to frozen desserts, cereals and other food formats with hard chocolate compounds, and it targets the gut-brain axis. With regular consumption, MindAble 1714 may help to reduce the level of cortisol in saliva after exposure to acute stress, making it a powerful ally in managing mental wellness and even quality of sleep.
Consumers can enjoy the benefits of MindAble 1714 up to 12 months after production and according to Novonesis, the probiotic has no impact on the sensory experience of chocolate. As such, there's ample potential for producers of chocolate tablets, bars and even chocolate-coated foods to explore the mood-boosting benefits of the probiotic.
