    Macronutrients

    Proteins

    The protein in Plenny Shake is provided by the soy protein isolate, oats, soy flour and flaxseeds. Each portion of Plenny Shake provides a good 20 gram of protein, so that you get what is daily recommended. [1] We use soy as the main protein source because of its high digestibility equal to that of whey protein. [2] In combination with the other protein sources, the following amino acid profile is achieved:

     

    Amino Acid Gram per bag of Plenny Shake
    Histidine 2,09 gram
    Isoleucine 4,29 gram
    Leucine 7,40 gram
    Lysine 6,23 gram
    Methionine and Cystine 2,87 gram
    Phenylalanine and Tyrosine 6,81 gram
    Threonine 4,28 gram
    Tryptophan 1,27 gram
    Valine 4,38 gram


    The amino acid profile of the Plenny Shake meets the daily recommended dosage of every amino acid. [1] A meal such as Plenny Shake which is high in protein can give a long satiety feeling because protein takes longer to digest than carbohydrates. [3] 

    Carbohydrates

    The major amount of carbohydrates in our product comes from oats (53%), maltodextrin (28%) and sunflower oil (12%). Oats are especially interesting since they show a low Glycemic Index, meaning that the glucose levels in your blood will be stable and so the energy levels. [4] In contrast to oats, maltodextrin provides a high glycemic index, which we added to balance the types of carbohydrates in our product. This combination makes you have a slow release of energy from the oats and a fast energy boost from the maltodextrin. 

    Fibers

    The main sources of fibers in our products are inulin (31%), oats (16%), soy (45%) and flaxseed (6%). They help in lowering the blood pressure and reducing the transit time of your stools. In particular we added inulin to increase the amount of fibers per portion and achieve a wider variety of fiber sources. [5] Inulin is extracted from chicory, which sounds likes we brutally operated on a Pokémon but we didn’t, chicory is a plant. If you are curious to know more, check our blog for more info about the fibers in our product. 

    Fats

    Most of the fats come from sunflower oil (38%). Sunflower oil has mainly monounsaturated fats and a great amount of omega-6 and omega-3. Your body can't make these omega 3 and 6 on its own; reason to which it must get them from food. Next to the sunflower oil we add soy flour which consist of 40% fats and provide 36% of the Plenny Shake powder total fats . The majority of the fats in soy flour are also monounsaturated fats and provide a big chunk of omega-6. For the omega-3 in the form of alpha-linoleic acid (ALA) we add golden flaxseed since it is very high in ALA and linoleic acid (omega-6). Lastly the oats (16% of total fats) help a little bit out with the fat content of the product. Fat has a low direct effect on blood sugar levels, it is a major energy source for your body and it helps you absorb vitamins and nutrients.

    Vitamins and minerals

    The vitamin and mineral mix that we add to the product provides all the needed 26 micronutrients. We use the most bioavailable forms of the micronutrients, so that your body can absorb each bit of all the vitamins and minerals easily and at the highest rate. For instance, we add vitamin D in the form of cholecalciferol (D3) and vitamin K in the form of K2 MK7. [6-7]. We add a large amount of vitamin C as well as B12. [8] This is because the absorption rate is taken into account. [3-13] Finally, our Plenny Shake does not have fluoride even though it is on the recommended daily nutrients' list stated by the World Health Organisation. It is recommended to combat tooth cavities but using toothpaste with fluoride is the best method, which is why we choose not to include it.
