Indonesia-based PT Ionaya Optima Natura launched Vitera, a premium daily sachet supplement formulated to promote gut health and support immune resilience. Vitera features two science-backed ingredients: Benicaros, a clinically validated precision prebiotic from NutriLeads BV, and Tetraselmis chuii, a nutrient-dense microalgae with extraordinary antioxidant properties.

The innovative ingredient combination promotes microbiome balance and helps strengthen immune system function. Its science-backed health benefits include:

- Protection of cells from oxidative damage
- Support for innate immune system function
- Promotion of a healthy inflammatory response
- Increased cellular energy production

Benicaros is a patented, precision prebiotic fiber (rhamnogalacturonan-I or cRG-I) derived from upcycled carrot pomace. It selectively nourishes beneficial gut bacteria and increases production of short-chain fatty acid production, which contributes to a resilient immune system, regardless of an individual’s starting microbiota composition. Dual-action Benicaros also helps prepare the immune system for faster and stronger responses. An 8-week randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study involving 146 healthy adults demonstrated that Benicaros significantly increased levels of Bifidobacterium species and enhanced natural killer (NK) cell activity. Key immune markers, including antiviral gene expression, were also enhanced following a standardized common cold virus challenge (rhinovirus).

Vitera is formulated for adults who seek to improve their overall health, vitality, and resilience in the face of modern-day stressors and environmental challenges. The convenient sachet format and natural taste profile make it ideal for daily consumption as part of a healthy lifestyle.
