We would like to introduce a combination of protein intake using our water-soluble dietary fiber material, "Fiberlixa." Protein is an essential nutrient for humans and is a component that those who engage in sports, elderly individuals taking measures against locomotor disorders, and those concerned about beauty actively want to consume. However, excessive intake can lead to potential issues. The main component of "Fiberlixa," isomaltodextrin (dietary fiber), may be useful when combined with protein-containing foods. [Examples of Use] ■ Beauty and Diet ■ Athletes ■ Locomotor Disorder Measures ■ Nutritional Care Food ■ Protein-Enriched Foods *For more details, please feel free to contact us.
