Why Attend?

As global demand for microbiome-based solutions continues to grow, companies in the supplement, food, and beverage industries face increasing pressure to deliver products that are not only scientifically credible but also clearly differentiated and relevant to consumers. While digestive health remains one of the most established and trusted benefits in the probiotics category, growing interest in active lifestyles, healthy aging, and overall wellness is driving demand for solutions with broader health applications. However, many microbiome products still struggle to translate complex science into meaningful value propositions, making it difficult to stand out in a competitive and rapidly evolving market.

​In this webinar, Morinaga Milk Industry, a pioneer in Human-Residential Bifidobacteria (HRB) with over 50 years of research, will introduce a unique approach that connects microbiome science, branding, and clinical evidence.

Participants will gain three key learnings:​

  1. ​How Morinaga Milk’s HRB strains are uniquely connected to humans, and how this scientific foundation can be translated into compelling branding and communication strategies that differentiate products and build consumer trust in the competitive probiotics market.
  2. ​The key characteristics of HRB and their role within the gut ecosystem, including scientific insights into how these human-adapted bacteria interact with other gut microbes and contribute to overall health.
  3. ​How Bifidobacterium longum BB536, one of Morinaga’s flagship HRB strains, can support digestive health and beyond, through extensive clinical evidence ranging from gut health to emerging applications in active nutrition and healthy aging.

​​By connecting microbiome science with branding and clinical evidence, this webinar provides practical insights to help differentiate your microbiome-based product development. Grounded in scientifically validated research, the session will demonstrate how established digestive health benefits can serve as a strong foundation for innovation in emerging categories such as active nutrition and healthy aging. Join us to discover how the HRB concept and BB536 can help strengthen your next product strategy—register now to secure your spot.
