With Campina Control Campina now also launches health & wellness in Russia
Eating less without dieting is now an option in Russia too After the success of Campina Optimel Control in the Netherlands and Campina Optiwell Control in Germany, Campina Control is now being launched in Russia. This fresh, mildly soured dairy drink contains natural plant extracts that activate the satiation mechanism. This helps consumers eat less at their next meal. Campina Control is Campina’s first Russian innovation in the field of health & wellness and is therefore an excellent step toward fulfilling Campina’s ambition of further growth in Russia.
