ITC’s B Natural and Amway India collaborate to launch immunity offering in Fruit beverages

In a unique partnership, ITC’s B Natural and Amway India have collaborated to launch the first of its kind B Natural+ range for the Indian consumer. B Natural Juices & beverages which believes in providing fruit nourishment to its consumers intends to provide the dual benefit of Immunity + Fruit & Fiber to them with the launch of the B Natural + range.

The promise of supporting immunity is delivered by a unique clinically proven ingredient, which has been developed by ITC’s Life Sciences & Technology Centre. ITC’s team of scientists at LSTC has been working on various health & nutrition areas for nearly a decade. During these trying times, Immunity has emerged as a key focus area. This Clinically proven Ingredient was tested in a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled clinical study conducted over a period of 3 months keeping in mind all the guidelines by ICMR and the study is registered in CTRI. 

The new B Natural + range will be available in two popular variants – Orange and Mixed Fruit.

Amway is appreciative of ITC's efforts in conceptualising the new product idea. To ensure that the B Natural + range reaches consumers through a credible and expert partner and to get quick consumer feedback, this range is being launched with Amway India. As a strategic partner in the space of health and immunity, Amway India is expected to further accelerate reach to the consumers. 

Commenting on this unique partnership, Hemant Malik, Divisional Chief Executive, Foods Division at ITC Ltd. “We are committed to developing world-class Indian products that address the needs of the Indian consumer. Given the current health crisis, Immunity of the entire family has emerged as a key consumer priority and B Natural proactively spearheaded the endeavor of providing an effective fruit beverage range this summer that could contribute to supporting immunity with a clinically proven ingredient. ITC’s innovation engine has been at work during this pandemic and the tireless efforts of our colleagues in the ITC Life Sciences and Technology Centre have made the development of this range possible within a record time of fewer than two months.”  

Talking about the exclusive collaboration, Anshu Budhraja, CEO, Amway India Enterprises said “Amway is a brand of choice among health enthusiasts with Nutrilite being the world's No. 1 selling vitamins and dietary supplements brand, and enjoys a strong legacy of more than 80 years of pioneering and perfecting the plant-based approach to supplementation.

Currently given the heightened awareness around immunity, we believe that the Nutrilite All Plant Protein, known for its immunity properties combined with B Natural’s + range, is going to offer a delicious option for strengthening immunity, and will be a compelling value proposition for the consumers.”
