While snacking used to be seen as a rare indulgence between meals, over recent years it’s taken on a different role in our diet and lifestyle. As snacking increases, the definition of what a ‘snack’ is has never been broader, providing huge opportunity for innovation in this category.

Snacks are no longer simply stopgaps between mealtimes, but an opportunity for consumers to fulfil their nutritional goals and needs – including for essential vitamins and minerals that they may not be getting from their meals. This is increasingly the case for those following more plant-based diets, who risk eliminating essential nutrients such as iodine from their diets when they omit or reduce food groups such as fish and dairy.¹

Did you know that sulphur is the third most abundant mineral in the human body? While our bodies contain sulphur-containing amino acids (SAAs) such as methionine, cysteine, and others that can donate sulphur to biochemical reactions, these amino acids have essential functions themselves in their intact state. If dietary sulphur intake is low, SAA production in the body is reduced, and stripping sulphur from SAA’s to use elsewhere leaves us at limited functional capacity.

OptiMSM® provides the body an easily accessible pool of sulphur, which spares the essential sulphur-containing amino acids (SAAs) methionine and cysteine from being metabolised for their sulphur. Its role as a sulphur donor, and its ability to preserve SAAs explains the broad range of health benefits with MSM supplementation. A study proved rapid absorption of OptiMSM® and incorporation into tissue proteins.¹

From the same producers of PureWay-C® and as part of our branded ingredients range, LEHVOSS Nutrition are pleased to offer the new Liposomal PureWay-C™, which delivers true Liposomal Vitamin C, mixed with the same proprietary fatty acid formula from the scientifically proven PureWay-C® standard grade.

With a great discrepancy in Liposomal throughout the industry, it is important to search for a high quality and efficacious liposomal vitamin C. PureWay-C® Liposomes are microscopic, hollow spherical vesicles composed of a lipid bilayer, which are ready to be recognised by the body’s gastrointestinal system. This stimulates the absorption of PureWay-C® and once in the blood, PureWay-C®’s proprietary fatty acids formula increases uptake kinetics and retention on a cellular level.

Calcium is one of the most important and essential minerals for the human body which helps form and maintain healthy teeth and bones.

A new research review published in the journal Advances in Nutrition in March showed positive effects of plant-based, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) for heart health.

In a comprehensive review of the scientific literature, researchers from universities and institutions in the U.S. and Spain found that increasing ALA in the diet, which is found in plant-based foods like chia, walnuts, and flaxseeds, was associated with a 10% lower risk of cardiovascular disease and a 20% reduced risk of fatal coronary heart disease.

The researchers considered and analysed quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) as well as observational studies that evaluated the consumption levels and effects of ALA on heart disease risk factors like inflammation, blood pressure, overall risk and risk of death from heart disease.
