Stevia Extract
Essential ingredients in the formulation of reduced-sugar or sugar-free recipes, intense sweeteners are increasingly used in the food industry. Consumers are gravitating towards more natural options, and stevia extracts provide a solution to these trends.
Extracted from the leaves of a small shrub native to Paraguay, “steviol glycosides” are a family of natural molecules that have a sweetness intensity ranging from 60 to 350 times that of sucrose. Non-fermentable and non-digestible, stevia extracts therefore have an almost zero caloric load.

Bulk Sweeteners
Bulk sweeteners are essential elements for reduced-sugar recipes. They help restore bulk while providing sweetness without the calories associated with sugar.

Sugars
Sugars are an integral part of the human diet and play various roles: providing sweetness, texture, and acting as a preservative.
The nutritional challenge is becoming increasingly prominent, and today there are alternatives to sucrose that do not compromise on quality.

Caffeine
Caffeine is associated with coffee, from which it gets its name, but this alkaloid is found in a wide range of products, including tea, chocolate, and more. Acting on neurotransmitters in the central nervous system, caffeine has a stimulating effect. It is rapidly metabolized by the body and penetrates all tissues, including the brain. This stimulating role is widely utilized in food and nutraceutical formulations.

Vitamin K2-7
MenaquinGold™ is the natural form of vitamin K2 in the form of menaquinone-7, derived from natural fermentation. Manufactured by Novonesis, vitamin K2-7 plays a role in the “calcium paradox.” In terms of bone health, it contributes to the formation of osteoblasts, the cells responsible for bone formation. It is also involved in cardiovascular prevention by preventing calcium from depositing in the arteries.

Fibers
One of the benefits of both soluble and insoluble dietary fibers lies in their positive effects on health: regulating blood sugar and digestion, promoting digestive well-being, and enhancing satiety, among others. Some fibers, known as prebiotics, also influence the composition and activity of our intestinal microorganisms. In addition to their nutritional benefits, fibers are used as bulking agents in applications with reduced sugar and fat content.
