Elevate your product line with our cold-extruded products, enjoying enhanced nutritional value and exceptional taste that will keep your customers coming back.
Our Formula
Creatine
Creatine, a compound derived from three amino acids—L-arginine, glycine, and L-methionine—naturally fuels muscle contractions, especially during exercise. About 95% of the body’s creatine is stored in skeletal muscles as creatine phosphate, which is essential for sustained energy production. Higher creatine phosphate stores mean that muscles have more energy and fiber recruitment for load-bearing exercises, promoting muscle growth (hypertrophy). Creatine also influences protein synthesis pathways, such as mTOR and S6K, supporting muscle development on a cellular level.
Inulin
Inulin, a type of prebiotic fiber, serves as food for probiotics in the digestive tract. While probiotics are living organisms beneficial to gut health, prebiotics like inulin are non-digestible fibers that sustain these probiotics, ensuring balanced gut bacteria. Regular intake of inulin supports digestion, immune health, and nutrient absorption, contributing to overall wellness.
Apple Fiber
Apple fiber contains pectin, a fiber found in plant cell walls that supports digestion and regular bowel movements. It also helps regulate blood sugar levels, which can be especially helpful for individuals managing diabetes or insulin sensitivity. Apple fiber’s benefits extend to gut health and metabolic regulation, making it an ideal component of a balanced diet.
Beetroot
Beetroot is rich in nitrates, which convert to nitric oxide (NO) in the body—a compound that supports blood vessel health, circulation, and nutrient delivery. This makes it especially beneficial for conditions linked to chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. Beetroot also contains betalains, antioxidants with significant anti-inflammatory properties, offering potential support for conditions like arthritis, liver health, and cardiovascular health.
Blueberry
Blueberries are packed with antioxidants and nutrients that support aging, cognitive function, and immune health. Known for their high ranking in antioxidant capacity, blueberries help combat oxidative stress, promote heart and brain health, and even support healthy vision. Research, including studies from Tufts University, highlights blueberries as powerful allies in maintaining health and preventing age-related decline.
The Importance of Synergy
The real power of these ingredients is in their synergy. Creatine, when combined with beetroot, benefits from increased nitric oxide production, improving nutrient delivery to muscles. Enhanced blood flow means better absorption of nutrients like creatine, and blueberries further support this vascular effect. Together, these ingredients maximize both energy and recovery, helping users achieve their health and fitness goals more effectively.
