Protein:

Proteins are present in every cell in your body. They are made up of amino acids, the combination of which varies depending on the food source. There are 20 amino acids and nine of these are essential – you need to get them from your diet. Protein is therefore a vital nutrient in a healthy balanced diet. Dietary protein is needed at all stages of life and the amount you need depends on your gender, age, activity level and health status.


Protein helps to grow and maintain the body in many ways, including our muscles, skin, blood, organs, hair, nails, and as a bonus it even helps to keep hunger at bay! Protein intake evenly spread over the day stimulates muscle protein production (Mamerow et al., 2014; Morris et al., 2022; Westerterp-Plantenga, 2012).


Dietary fibre

Dietary fibre has many health benefits including aiding digestion and helping to prevent constipation. Dietary sources of fibre include whole grains, fruit, vegetables, pulses, nuts and seeds. Dietary fibre, like protein, promotes satiety – it helps you feel full (Barber et al., 2020; Salleh et al., 2019).

• High protein
  • Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass
  • Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass
• High fibre

Protein from three natural sources:
  • Whey
  • Egg
  • Pea

Whey and egg proteins

Whey and egg are high quality proteins, providing all nine amino acids that the body cannot make and are easily digested and absorbed (Miller, 2006; Puglisi & Fernandez, 2022). Whey is also an excellent source of the amino acid leucine, which is key to building muscle (Miller, 2006).


Pea protein

Pea is a natural, plant-based protein, which is more easily digested and absorbed than many other plant-based proteins (Rutherford et al., 2014). It is sustainable for greenhouse gas emissions, land use and water use (Poore et al., 2018).


Fibre from three natural sources:
  • Rosehip
  • Sugar beet
  • Apple

Rosehip:

Rosehip is a Nordic fruit, commonly consumed in the healthy Nordic Diet (WHO, 2018).


Sugar beet & apple:

Sugar beet and apple fibre contain insoluble fibre that aids digestion and keeps the gut healthy (Koutsos, 2015; de Oliveria et al., 2021).
