Optimum Nutrition launched Clear Whey Protein in the UK, adding to its broader portfolio of clear protein products. The company also holds Clear Protein Collagen, Clear Plant Protein, and Protein Water in the same range. <\/p>\n

\"OptimumOptimum Nutrition Clear Whey (Optimum Nutrition)<\/p>\n

Zoe targets fiber-gap with gut health bar <\/p>\n

Zoe, the gut health research and personalized nutrition platform, has launched The Gut Health Bar, a snack bar containing plant ingredients designed to support the gut microbiome, whilst providing fiber and protein. <\/p>\n

The bars come in two flavours, dark chocolate and sea salt, and raspberry and goji berry, with each containing various plant ingredients \u2013 among these are kombucha powder, seaweed, and red lentils. <\/p>\n

\"ZoeZoe Gut Health Bar (Zoe)<\/p>\n

According to Zoe, the bars have been designed to be chewy to slow the eating experience. Due to the bars retaining natural structures of the plants, the \u201cmore substantial texture\u201d of the product slows eating rate, which can support metabolism and help prevent overeating, Federica Amati, head nutritionist at Zoe, explained. <\/p>\n

By keeping many of the natural structures of plant ingredients intact, this also allows them to travel further down the digestive tract, feeding gut microbes. <\/p>\n

Each bar contains 8g of fiber and 7g of plant protein. Though this level of protein is substantially lower than some of the protein bars available on the market, as the \u2018proteinification\u2019 of food and beverage products<\/a> continues, Amati told NutraIngredients this is a case of \u201cmarketing overriding science.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWhile most people get plenty of protein, 96% of UK adults are deficient in fiber\u2014 it is the country\u2019s number one deficiency,\u201d she said. \u201cWe are shifting the focus back to real-food diversity. Many ultra-processed bars achieve 20g of protein by using isolated powders and commercial cosmetic additives to make them palatable, lacking overall nutritional benefit and possibly disrupting gut health.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wide-spectrum beauty Swedish healthtech firm Zinzino has launched Collagen Boozt Flex, a marine collagen powder designed to bring…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":767928,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[64,63,219943,137,532,201],"class_list":["post-767927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nutrition","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-concepts-topics","tag-health","tag-nutrition","tag-startup"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/767927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=767927"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/767927\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/767928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=767927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=767927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=767927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
