The Consumer Healthcare business area continues to drive growth, with net sales up 32% compared with the first six months of 2013. We see a continued and highly positive trend in the North American market, where our products are also being launched in the retail channel now. The launches in South Korea have been successful and are making a significant contribution to our strong growth. Good news was also announced in the research area during the second quarter. Two studies showing that our probiotics may significantly increase iron absorption in women of child-bearing age were concluded this year.
