SternLife harnesses the power of turmeric

THE KNOWN positive effects of turmeric have led manufacturers to add this ingredient to various food and beverage. The main constituent in turmeric (Indian saffron), curcumin contains anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. It boosts the metabolism and aids in weight loss. Recent studies show curcumin can protect against cancer and Alzheimer’s.

One of the new products that highlights the use of turmeric is called Curcuma Latte, a morning beverage.

SternLife, a manufacturer of functional foods and food supplements, offers two Curcuma Latte options aimed at fitness-minded and health-conscious aficionados. It also offers curcuma capsules that help with weight management.

Curcuma Latte contains protein, dietary fiber, and curcuma  - a special beverage for athletes and fitness enthusiasts 

Curcuma Latte for different target groups

Curcuma Latte with protein is a special drink for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. With its high protein content of 71%, it enhances the effects of training. Whey protein concentrate and isolate are the protein sources. The drink, with its delicate vanilla flavour, can be prepared with water, milk or plant-based milk alternatives. The practical portion size of 20g powder is simply stirred into 200ml warm or cold liquid.

The new, vegan Curcuma Latte is ready in no time, too. The instant powder is enriched with the dietary fiber, inulin. As the powder doesn't contain any sugar or sweetening agent, it can be sweetened with agave syrup or something similar to cater for individual preferences. The powder is also very well suited for enhancing plant-based yoghurt and curd alternatives. Just like the protein shake, the vegan lifestyle drink contains cinnamon, ginger and pepper, in addition to curcuma, to boost the metabolism. 

Curcuma capsules crank up the metabolism

SternLife’s curcuma capsules allows suppliers of health foods and food supplements to offer their customers a new on-trend weight management product. Besides curcuma, the capsules contain pepper extract to improve curcumin uptake along with ginger, cinnamon, cayenne pepper and zinc. The use of zinc may be indicated as part of a health claim. Furthermore, the capsules may be taken prior to sports activities to give the metabolism an extra boost.
