SANACEL® fiber enrichment for healthy protein shakes
Sports nutrition is characterized by a high protein intake. In recent years, however, consumers of protein shakes and bars have increasingly focused on health and not just muscle building. In addition to the additional intake of food supplements, more and more emphasis is being placed on a natural and healthy diet. As a result, dietary fibers in low-carb and clean label products are becoming increasingly important in sports nutrition. The fitness-oriented consumer segment for sports nutrition has also expanded, increasing the demand for plant-based and vegan products.
Our SANACEL® dietary fiber concentrates and complex dietary fibers can be used in a variety of ways for sport products. The insoluble fiber concentrates made from bamboo, wheat, oat or sugarcane are mainly used for fiber enrichment. Apple and citrus fibers can also have a positive effect on taste. SANACEL® add blends consist of a combination of insoluble and soluble dietary fibers and not only support digestion and intestinal health, but can also turn a simple protein shake into a "shape shake" due to their satiating effect. The additional creaminess and increased viscosity please the consumer.
