New!: Plenny Drink v2.0!

¡Nuevo!: Plenny Drink v2.0!

Our mission to create the healthiest food scientifically possible never stops! After hard work, we achieved this mission by bringing you an even healthier and more delicious Plenny Drink.

Plenny Drink V2.0 is a source of fibre, high in protein and low in sugar and salt. Want to learn more about the changes we made to the formula? This blog will tell you all about it!

TL;DR:

  • Increased protein content from 12 g per meal to 20 g per meal
  • Decrease in carbohydrate content from 53 g to 44.6 per 100 g
  • Improved consistency
  • Improved micronutrient profile

Increased protein content.

Protein is a nutrient that we can’t do without, as they are building blocks of compounds in the body such as enzymes and hormones (1,2). Plenny Drink V1.0 has you covered for the essentials by providing you with 12 grams of protein per meal. The 20 grams of protein per meal that Plenny Drink V2.0 contains ensures that you get a little extra to keep you feeling more satiated throughout the day and to help you recover after an intense workout and get those muscles growing (3,4)!

Adjusted carbohydrate composition

Quality over quantity is a statement we truly believe in when considering the carbohydrate content of our products. That’s why the carbohydrate content is reduced from 53 grams to 44.6 grams. But don’t worry! This is enough to provide the energy your body and brain need (5,6). Furthermore, the quality of carbohydrate sources is improved by adding healthier, complex and slow-release sources – the oat content is increased and Plenny Drink is enriched with tapioca starch, which can reduce the glycemic load of products, resulting in less spikes in your blood sugar level (7,8). We take no responsibility for any naps you may take after your meal! A complete guide to preventing food coma can be found here.

In addition to macronutrients, we also delve a little deeper into improving micronutrient content.

Improved vitamin content

Vitamin D is a nutrient that has a major influence on your immune system, but also on calcium absorption and even your mood (9,10). That’s why the content of this nutrient is increased to 3 μg per meal in the form of cholecalciferol, which contributes to 60% of the RDI. Are you more interested in how nutrients influence your mood? Read this blog to learn more!

 

Vitamin C plays an important role in your body, as it is involved in, for example, iron absorption and a well-nourished immune system (11). In addition to this, vitamin C works as an antioxidant, protecting your body's cells from free radicals. Reason enough to replenish this nutrient, right?

Vitamin K contributes to bone metabolism, produces several proteins needed for blood clotting, and helps your body regulate calcium levels in the blood (12–14). Plenny Drink V2.0 provides you with a slight boost and the most bioavailable form of this vitamin, being K2 MK7, also known as menachinon (15).

 

Another vitamin that works as an antioxidant is Niacin . In addition to protecting your cells from free radicals, it is also part of the coenzymes that give your brain energy and plays a role in DNA repair, a process that Folic Acid is also involved in (16-19). In addition, it breaks down excessive amounts of the amino acid homocysteine, which is why we found it essential to slightly increase the amounts of these two micronutrients while still meeting their respective recommended daily intake levels (18,19).

 

Another nutrient increased, quite drastically, is vitamin B12. The RDI for one meal of Plenny Drink has been increased from 20% to 1120%. No, we’re not going crazy. Our chosen source for this is vegan cyanocobalamin. Vegan forms of B12 are less bioavailable, so more needs to be consumed to absorb the recommended intakes (20). You can find out more about the reasoning behind this in this blog.

Improved composition of minerals and trace elements

To stay as close as possible to the established recommended daily intakes for Iron and Calcium , and the latest Adequate Intakes (AI) and Population Reference Intakes (PRI) defined by EFSA, we gave these minerals a slight increase compared to our previous version of the Plenny drink (21-23). ​​Gotta keep up with science, right? And you should too! For your reference: the PRI is the intake of a nutrient that is likely to meet the needs of almost all healthy people in a population, and the AI ​​is the average nutrient level, based on observations or experiments, that is assumed to be adequate for the needs of the population (23). Based on available information and studies conducted worldwide, EFSA determines the recommended levels for each micronutrient.

Phosphorus is a mineral that your body needs to maintain strong bones, eliminate waste and repair damaged body tissues (24). This mineral is as essential for the body as it is for the consistency of the vitamin and mineral mix we add to Plenny Drink. Thanks to their technical properties, some minerals are pre-mixed with phosphorus to allow their correct addition. As a result, higher amounts of this mineral are present, compared to the RI. These amounts are compensated by using a form that is absorbed to a lesser extent, but still meets the recommended daily intake values.

Molybdenum helps your body build enzymes (25,26) . To keep up with the recommended intake values ​​set for these compounds, the amounts are slightly increased in our new version of Plenny Drink.

Fluoride has been removed from Plenny Drink. Fluoride has the role of preventing tooth decay (27,28). However, brushing your teeth with a toothpaste containing fluoride is the most effective method to combat this sufficiently (28). That is why we highly recommend you do so! Yes, one of the few things Plenny Drink cannot help you with!
