The Arla Foods Ingredients Lacprodan BLG-100 is a new fat-free solution for use in juice-style oral nutrition supplements (ONS) to help increase the level of protein in a discreet way. The solution works by being added into the beverage where it won't change the mouthfeel or taste, but will add in seven-grams of protein for every 100-grams, while also featuring a high level of essential amino acids. These characteristics combine to make the product perfect for an array of implementations and could be a game changer when it comes to medical nutrition.
Director for Health and Performance Troels Nørgaard Laursen spoke on the Arla Foods Ingredients Lacprodan BLG-100 saying, "Juice-style options are a promising alternative to traditional milky oral nutritional supplements, but there has been room for improvement when it comes to their protein profile. Lacprodan BLG-100 is a great solution to this challenge. It’s rich in essential amino acids – in particular leucine – and helps ONS deliver a more palatable drinking experience.”
