Our story

Alika Nutrition is the result of a passionate professional quest to improve the diet for various stakeholders. Our goal is to deliver healthy food products by combining excellent nutritional profiles with ease of use and versatility.

The foundation of our company was prompted by several facts:

• Many years ago, one of the founders, who is a physician, was intrigued by the gradual loss of muscle mass in her father as he aged, without any serious underlying disease. The term " sarcopenia" to describe the age-related loss of muscle mass was first coined in 1988. One of the risk factors for sarcopenia is a lack of protein.

• Protein deficiency can also be problematic for older people who follow a one-sided diet based primarily on sweet comfort foods. This can be the case for both those living independently and those in care homes. The key here is to optimize daily protein intake and this is where Alika Nutrition can help by providing the ingredients for a nutritious meal.

• Another important fact occurred a few years ago when one of the founders, a medical doctor, started supporting a Belgian non-profit organization that carries out medical humanitarian missions in Africa. The diet of a large part of the African population is often one-sided and insufficient. We also noticed that mission members often bring all kinds of food from home (with the associated logistical problems) and this simply out of uncertainty about what could be purchased locally.
