Nutramedic &Cosmetics Upcycled and Plant-based Protein for Sports Nutrition

At this year Fi/Hi Europe, Ingood by Olga will present an innovative plant-based and upcycled ingredient PEAKARA® .

The sports nutrition market is growing fast, and this evolution can be explained by two reasons: firstly, the rise of the active lifestyle consumers, indeed the athlete is no longer the main consumer; secondly the boom in plant­based protein products.

According to a survey on sport nutrition consumers conducted by V-label GmbH in 2021, 71% of consumers say that "plant-based protein" are attractive, ahead of “whey protein” where 69% say so.

The company said: „At Ingood by Olga, we are continuing to develop our activities in the nutrition and health markets with thier range of plant-based nutri­functional ingredients.

We want to offer the best of our materials by providing natural and useful ingredients to everyone, for a more positive approach to food and social transition.

After 2 years of R&D work and a deep commitment to limiting our impact and food waste for a more circular model, we are launching a new nutri-functional ingredient: PEAKARA®. The name is a contraction of "PEA" to emphasize the material from which is derived (European yellow pea) and "KARA", a play on the word "okara" to emphasize that this is an upcycled ingredient.“
