We help support sport-oriented nutrition with selected functional additives like special amino acids, fruit and plant extracts, and creatine. Functional bars can also assist in individual nutrition concepts in the health category. Depending on the application, bars can have additives like vitamin k2, calcium or omega-3. The goal is healthy nutrition. Your weight-conscious customers can turn to calorie-reduced bars, or products enriched with chromium (III) piccolinate or iodine.
