LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Jul 16, 2013) - Probiotics remain one of the most successful functional food ingredients. In fact, adding new sales of US$2.2 billion in 2012 alone, probiotic yoghurt is the second largest growing fortified/functional food across the world. Yet, Euromonitor's surveys show that the awareness of probiotics is much higher than the detailed knowledge of what probiotics are or frequent consumption.

Committed to in-depth reporting on the developments within healthy nutrition, Euromonitor International is delighted to be a part of the second episode of the pioneering Probiotic "Microwarriors Film Series", Titled: "Microwarriors: The Origin and the Destiny."

"Microwarriors" can greatly contribute to increasing consumer education and support the global quest for maximising health and wellbeing through affordable nutrition," said Ewa Hudson, Global Head of Health and Wellness Research at Euromonitor International.
