Fortitech Meet South American Challenges

08/09/05 Health and wellness products are  constantly-growing on the worldwide market.  Fortitech South America is  meeting both the formulation and processing challenges of manufacturers  looking to market nutrient-rich foods and beverages for their health-conscious customers.  At the 2005 Food Ingredients South America exhibition in São Paulo, Brazil, Fortitech presented several new food and beverage samples offering unique benefits.

A healthy alternative to butter, Fortitech highlighted a fortified margarine with fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and bone-strengthening calcium.  This unique delivery system is specially formulated with high levels of calcium and vitamin A with a creamy-smooth texture.

People with milk allergies should try Fortitech's bone-healthy soy beverage offering high levels of calcium and vitamin E.  This beverage is also packed with vitamins D and A, and comes in apple, pear and peach flavors.  This highly nutritious beverage offers an important source of protein and is naturally fat-free by utilizing isolated soy proteins.

For athletes and people looking for a quick energy-boost, a powerful energy beverage incorporating taurine, vitamins B6 and B12 is the answer.  This functional beverage also helps to re-energize and invigorate the body by using glucoronolactone, a naturally occurring metabolite of glucose.

A refreshing apple and passion fruit juice wellness beverage is ideal for anyone concerned with bone health and overall wellness.  A number of functional ingredients were included in this beverage such as vitamin D, calcium, boron, copper, magnesium and silicon.  Vitamin D and boron work together to facilitate the absorption of calcium and aid in the prevention of bone loss while copper plays a major role in transporting oxygen throughout the body.  Magnesium and silicon also assist in providing increased bone health.
