Low FODMAP Drink Powder Wins “Super Food 2017" Award

11 Jan 2017 --- The “Finnish Health Product Retailers Association”, an organization that celebrates quality products with health-boosting properties each year, and has awarded Sunwic with the “Super Food 2017” award. The drink powder is produced by Valioravinto, and consists of 100% Sunfiber — a soluble fiber from Taiyo.

Taiyo state that Sunfiber combines great taste with excellent sensory and technological properties and health-promoting effects. The ingredient has been proven to alleviate gastrointestinal disorders, such as those caused by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

To participate in the Super Food Award, the products must meet strict criteria.

These include well-founded research data, positive consumer feedback and reliable, high-quality results.

Sunwic convinced with its easy handling and positive efficacy for people with IBS

This target group reacts particularly sensitively to foods containing high concentrations of fermentable oligo-, di- and monosaccharides (FODMAPs) because they are usually not properly metabolized.

Sunwic is a FODMAP-poor soluble powder and is therefore very well tolerated by these consumers. According to studies, regular use significantly increases the number of bifidobacteria in the gut, which strengthen the digestive tract, protect the intestinal mucosa and alleviate the symptoms. Overall digestive function is subsequently improved.

The jury also highlighted the technological and sensory properties. For example, Sunwic dissolves completely in liquids, does not jellify and is easy to dose. It has no impact on taste and is absolutely neutral in terms of flavor, odor and color.

“We see the award as confirmation that our investments in research and development pay off,” said Dr Stefan Siebrecht, Managing Director of Taiyo GmbH.

“Sunfiber uniquely combines naturalness, technological functionality and health benefits.”

“We congratulate our customer Valioravinto for the success of its Sunwic product.”
