The vegetable proteins in Alika Nutrition products, which do not contain added sugars, are extracted in a thermo-mechanical 100% non-chemical way from the germs of the seeds of the carob, as the legume of the 'carob' is called. The Carob tree is a common tree in the countries around the Mediterranean.
This provides a high-quality vegetable protein with an excellent amino acid profile (not least leucine for muscle protein synthesis), rich in fibre, low in fat (only 0.9% saturated fat) and mainly complex carbohydrates, and also gluten and allergen-free.
By the way, the whole legume of this tree, which has been common in the Mediterranean region for centuries, is known for numerous health benefits:
- rich in minerals and B vitamins
- antioxidant polyphenols
- strengthening for the immune system
- a protective effect on blood sugar and intestinal health
As with all Alika Nutrition products, we select our ingredients based on their health benefits and excellent properties so that we can offer the most optimal nutritional products.
