Gums are often used as a thickening agents or stabilizers in food products. We don't need to add them to our Plant Protein as it has natural thickening/stabilizing properties. Gums can also alter the texture and mouthfeel of products and we aim to maintain a specific texture and consistency that’s desirable for our customers. In addition, some consumers may have dietary restrictions or sensitives to gums, so avoiding gums in our plant protein ensures we satisfy a wider consumer base.

Monk fruit extract contains natural compounds called mogrosides, which provide sweetness without adding calories, sugar, or carbohydrates. This is beneficial for individuals who are looking to reduce their calorie or carbohydrate intake while still enjoying a sweet taste. It doesn't raise blood sugar levels which makes it appealing to those trying to maintain healthy blood glucose. Monk fruit extract also has a clean and pleasant taste, without the bitter aftertaste that is sometimes associated with other sweeteners like
stevia. This enhances the overall flavour profile of our protein powder and makes it more enjoyable to consume. Additionally, monk fruit extract is considered to be a natural sweetener, which may be preferred by individuals who prefer to avoid artificial sweeteners.

Choosing a protein powder that is also high fibre can offer several health benefits. Firstly, Fibre is known to promote digestive health by supporting regular bowel movements and preventing constipation. It can help maintain a healthy gut microbiome and improve overall gut health. Secondly, fibre helps you feel full and satiated which can be beneficial for individuals looking to manage their weight or control their appetite, by preventing overeating. Additionally, a high-fibre protein powder can help regulate blood sugar levels by slowing down the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with diabetes or those looking to manage their blood sugar levels. Lastly, fibre can support heart health by helping to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

As rice protein isn't considered to be a complete protein containing all 9 essential amino acids, we haven't included it in our exclusive HeLa Blend. Additionally, in order for us to qualify a protein source for our HeLa Blend, it had to include additional health benefits beyond providing protein, which isn't the case for rice protein. Our HeLa blend proteins also have lower environmental impacts than rice protein. Finally, some tests have found rice protein to contain toxic levels of heavy metals such as arsenic and cadmium.
