OMNi-POWER® GUT BAR - Der Snack-Riegel für unterwegs – entwickelt für eine Low-FODMAP-Ernährung

Product Information

OMNi-POWER® GUT BAR is a convenient snack bar for when you are on the go, playing sports, or traveling. It was developed with a special focus on gastrointestinal tolerance and is particularly aimed at people who want to keep an eye on the FODMAP content of their diet.

The bar combines roasted almonds, cashews, chocolate, rolled oats, and crispy rice-wheat crisps, among other ingredients, making it a suitable compact snack for everyday life, leisure, and athletic activities.

Who is the OMNi-POWER® GUT BAR suitable for?

The OMNi-POWER® GUT BAR is particularly suitable:

• as a convenient snack for on the go

• for hiking and outdoor activities

• for travel

• for sports and training

• for leisure and everyday life

• for people who value good individual gastrointestinal tolerance

• for people following a low-FODMAP diet

• as an alternative to conventional snack and sports bars with higher FODMAP content

What does Low FODMAP mean?

FODMAP stands for:

Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols.

These are specific short-chain carbohydrates and sugar alcohols that occur naturally in numerous foods.

In some people, certain FODMAPs are only partially absorbed in the small intestine. As a result, they reach the large intestine in larger quantities, where they can be fermented by gut bacteria.

Furthermore, certain FODMAPs can draw water into the intestine.

In sensitive individuals, this can contribute to gastrointestinal discomfort.

What symptoms can FODMAPs cause?

A larger amount of certain FODMAPs can be associated with the following symptoms in sensitive individuals, among others:

• Bloating

• Feeling of fullness

• Abdominal pain

• Increased bowel sounds

• Changes in bowel movements

• Diarrhea

The degree to which a person reacts to individual FODMAPs varies greatly from person to person.

Not everyone needs to avoid or reduce FODMAPs.

Low FODMAP and a sensitive gut

A low-FODMAP diet is particularly used in the context of functional gastrointestinal disorders and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

During this process, foods with a high content of certain fermentable carbohydrates are initially reduced, and individual tolerance is then systematically checked.

The goal of such a diet is usually not to completely avoid FODMAPs permanently, but to find out which foods and quantities are tolerated individually.

A long-term, strictly restricted low-FODMAP diet should be carried out under the guidance of a nutritionist or dietician if possible.

Why OMNi-POWER® GUT BAR?

Classic snack and sports bars can contain various ingredients that may promote gastrointestinal discomfort in sensitive people during athletic exertion or in everyday life.

The OMNi-POWER® GUT BAR was therefore developed as a low-FODMAP-oriented alternative.

The selection and combination of ingredients are designed to offer a convenient snack with good individual tolerance.

However, a low-FODMAP claim does not mean that a food will be tolerated completely without symptoms by everyone. Individual tolerance and the quantity consumed continue to play an important role.

For sports, travel, and on the go

Especially during longer athletic activities or while traveling, compact foods that are easy to take along and consume without preparation are practical.

The OMNi-POWER® GUT BAR is suitable, for example:

• in a backpack

• while hiking

• while cycling

• on longer excursions

• while traveling

• as a snack before or after athletic activity

• as a snack in everyday life

With almonds, cashews, and chocolate

The recipe contains 31% roasted almonds and 16% cashews.

These are supplemented by, among other things, chocolate, rolled oats, rice-wheat crisps, cocoa powder, and sea salt.

This gives the bar a combination of nutty, chocolatey, and slightly salty flavor notes.

Recommended consumption

The OMNi-POWER® GUT BAR can be consumed as a snack on the go, in everyday life, and before, during, or after athletic activities, depending on individual needs.

If you have a sensitive gastrointestinal tract, it is recommended to test your personal tolerance and portion size in a familiar situation first.

During athletic competitions, new foods should not be tried for the first time immediately before or during the competition if possible.

Important notes

The individual tolerance of FODMAPs varies from person to person.

Even a low-FODMAP product can cause gastrointestinal discomfort in sensitive individuals or depending on the amount consumed.

A low-FODMAP diet is not a general recommendation for everyone and, if used long-term, should be professionally supervised if possible.

In the case of frequent, severe, or new onset abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, blood in the stool, unexplained weight loss, or other pronounced gastrointestinal complaints, the cause should be medically clarified.
