SternLife has launched a range of three keto products based on MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) derived from high-quality coconut oil. These include Ketoproof Coffee, Ketoproof Matcha Latte and Keto Protein Shake
Ketoproof Coffee and Ketoproof Matcha Latte promise a perfect start to the day. The dry beverage bases for blending with liquid contain 5g MCT and less than one gram of carbohydrate per portion, but they also contain a large proportion of dietary fibre.
The caffeine derived from coffee or matcha powder gives the drinks their stimulating effect. They are therefore ideal for breakfast or for fighting that afternoon sleepiness.
The new Keto Protein Shake with 9g MCT and less than one gram of sugar per portion completes the range. With its high percentage of valuable, quality protein and large amount of dietary fibre, it provides a satisfying meal for fitness- and figure-conscious consumers.
With the novel products from SternLife, suppliers of fitness and lifestyle products can extend their offer with a trendy range and benefit from the growing keto trend.
In all discussions of a well-balanced diet and weight reduction, the buzzword has been low-carb for many years. But there are now other forms of nutrition, too, that advocate a diet with as little carbohydrate as possible.
One example that is becoming more and more popular is ketogenic nutrition. This diet consists of 75 percent fat, 20 percent protein and only five per cent carbohydrate. It brings about changes in energy metabolism.
Because of the reduced carbohydrates, there is no longer enough glucose available as a supply of energy.
Consequently, the body forms more ketone bodies out of the fatty acids present, and these provide the energy necessary for the brain.
During this ketogenic state – also known as ketosis – the body’s own fat deposits are broken down. That is why the keto diet helps with slimming.
In the United States, keto is already in third place among the nutritional trends. That is the conclusion drawn from the latest What's Trending in Nutrition survey, in which some 2,000 dieticians were interviewed.
Lifestyle products that support ketogenic nutrition, therefore, offer additional sales potential. Keto diets are becoming increasingly popular in the German market, too, and are being recommended by more and more dietitians.
In this connection, MCT oils play an important role. According to scientific studies, these medium-chain fatty acids promote both weight loss and reduction of the body’s fat mass. In other words, MCT oils greatly help to ensure the success of a ketogenic diet.
