PERKii

PERKii™ is a start-up from the University of Queensland, initially supported by Uniseed and the Brisbane Angels group, that has released the world's first water and juice drink with 1 billion microencapsulated probiotics and only 37 calories! PERKii offers consumers an option to manage weight, improve gut health and boost immunity with 1 Billion live Lactobacillus casei with proven health benefits in a refreshing, light and great tasting low calorie drink. Derived from the ProGel® technology, also invented at the University of Queensland, this drink protects and improves probiotic stability by encapsulating them in tiny natural beads called Microgels. Microgels keep the probiotics alive in drinks and the acidic stomach resulting in improved delivery of probiotics to the gut. PERKii comes in 3 delicious core flavours, Lime & Coconut, Strawberry & Watermelon and Mango & Passionfruit and a range of seasonal limited-edition flavours.
