Functional dairy products refer to traditional dairy foods that have been enhanced with additional health-promoting components. These might include probiotics, prebiotics, vitamins, minerals, and various bioactive ingredients intended to support digestive health, strengthen the immune system, promote bone density, and contribute to general well-being. Typical examples in the market include fortified yogurts, probiotic beverages, functional cheeses, and specialty milk formulations. Recent advancements in dairy processing and formulation have focused on ensuring that these added ingredients remain stable, bioavailable, and effective throughout the product’s shelf life. As a result, functional dairy offerings appeal to health-conscious consumers seeking accessible ways to improve their nutritional intake. Simultaneously, this trend encourages ongoing innovation and product differentiation within the highly competitive dairy industry.
