Plant-Based Hydration Excellence
We are committed to our heritage of offering exceptionally nutritious, tasty plant-based products. We have your health at heart, because we believe good health leads to a good life. Take a closer look at the nutritional benefits of soy, oat and other plant proteins.
Soybeans
King of Beans
Soy is often referred to as the "golden bean," "king of beans," or "miracle bean" due to its exceptional nutritional values and scientifically proven health benefits. The soybean contains the highest quality plant protein, with all nine essential amino acids that cannot be produced by the human body.
Protein Powerhouse
Soy delivers up to 1.5 times more protein than other beans and 3 times more than eggs, while remaining completely gluten-free. This complete protein source supports muscle building and repair while being easily digestible, making it ideal for active lifestyles and health-conscious consumers.
High Quality Complete Protein
Soy protein achieves a perfect Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acids Score (PDCAAS) of 1.0 – equivalent to animal protein quality. This makes soybean beverages an exceptional choice for meeting daily protein requirements without compromising nutritional quality.
Support for a Healthy Heart
Research published by the American Heart Association indicates that soy-rich foods containing isoflavones may help lower heart disease risk. Soybeans are packed with heart-friendly unsaturated fats, including omega-3 fatty acids, and are recognized as a healthy protein source by leading health organizations.
B Vitamins for Energy
Soybeans are rich in B vitamins, which support energy production and help reduce fatigue. This makes soy beverages an excellent choice for maintaining sustained energy throughout the day.
Good For You
Recent research confirms that higher intakes of soy are linked to lower risks of heart disease, certain cancers, and postmenopausal osteoporosis, contributed by the natural isoflavones in soybeans. These protective compounds work synergistically to support overall health and wellness.
Oats
Heart-healthy Whole Grain
Oat is a heart-healthy whole grain packed with B vitamins and essential minerals, with robust scientific evidence supporting its cardiovascular benefits. Health claims regarding oat's cholesterol-lowering effects have been approved by food standards agencies worldwide.
10 Times More Fibre
Oats contain 10 times the fiber content of white rice, helping you meet daily fiber requirements essential for digestive health and heart function. This high fiber content also promotes satiety and supports healthy weight management.
Low Saturated Fat
Oats are naturally low in saturated fat with zero cholesterol, making them an excellent foundation for heart-healthy nutrition. This nutritional profile supports cardiovascular wellness as part of a balanced diet.
Rich in Dietary Fibre
The abundant dietary fiber in oats promotes healthy digestion, supports gut microbiome balance, and contributes to overall digestive wellness. Studies show oat consumption is associated with elevated beneficial bacteria including Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species.
Beta-glucan Power
Oats contain beta-glucan, a type of soluble fiber that clinical trials prove can reduce LDL cholesterol by approximately 6.5% when consumed at 3g daily. High molecular weight oat beta-glucan is particularly effective, with studies showing 3g daily can reduce LDL cholesterol by 5.5%.
Good For You
Over 200,000 medical studies on beta-glucan published on PubMed support its role in heart health management. Higher whole grain intake is consistently linked to lower risks of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.
Almonds
Heart-healthy Tree Nut
Almonds are nutritious tree nuts that are heart-healthy and gluten-free, loaded with nutrients including vitamin E, monounsaturated fats, and essential minerals. They contain mono- and polyunsaturated fats shown to lower cholesterol.
Exceptional Vitamin E Source
Almonds are among nature's highest sources of vitamin E, with one ounce providing 7.27mg of this powerful antioxidant – representing 50% of your daily vitamin E needs. The antioxidant properties of almonds, primarily due to their high vitamin E content, help reduce oxidative stress markers.
Low Saturated Fat Profile
Almonds are naturally low in saturated fat with zero cholesterol, supporting heart-healthy dietary patterns. One serving (30g) contains 14g of unsaturated healthy fats and only 1g of saturated fat, aligning with WHO recommendations for optimal fat intake.
Rich in Vitamin E Antioxidants
Vitamin E and other antioxidants in almonds help prevent oxidative damage in the body, supporting cellular health and potentially reducing chronic disease risk. This makes almond beverages excellent choices for long-term health maintenance.
Healthy Fat Profile
Almonds are naturally packed with monounsaturated fats that benefit heart health, along with other heart-healthy components including dietary fiber, selenium, magnesium, copper, and potassium.
Good For You
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved health claims that 1.5 oz of nuts may reduce cardiovascular disease risk. Research supporting almonds' heart health benefits began in 1992, with studies demonstrating improved cholesterol levels when almonds are part of a heart-healthy diet.
Tea
Rich in Tea Polyphenols
Tea contains abundant polyphenols renowned for their antioxidant function and benefits for weight management and overall health. The polyphenol content of tea is approximately 10 times that of green grapes, making it an exceptional source of protective compounds.
Powerful Antioxidants
Packed with potent antioxidants including catechins and theaflavins, tea is recognized by the American Institute for Cancer Research as one of the "Foods that Fight Cancer." These compounds work synergistically to support cellular health and longevity.
Guilt-free Hydration
Tea provides rich antioxidant benefits while remaining free of calories and cholesterol. This makes it an ideal choice for thirst-quenching, heart-friendly hydration as part of a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet.
Good for You
Regular tea consumption has been linked to lower blood pressure, improved cholesterol levels, and reduced risk of heart disease and certain cancers. These benefits make tea-based beverages excellent choices for long-term health maintenance.
