OREANDA-NEWS. Merck, a leading science and technology company, announced the launch of its new consumer brand Vivera(r) in Latin America. Vivera is being launched first in Chile in January 2016, to be followed by several major Latin American markets later in 2016.

Uta Kemmerich-Keil, President and CEO of the Consumer Health business of Merck, commented: "We truly look forward to launching Vivera! Vivera is a fantastic probiotic product which accelerates the healing process after a gastro-intestinal upset and restores the function of the digestive system naturally. I am confident that we have a truly winning proposition for both children and adults, particularly when looking for natural and effective options."
