Overweight Facts

The World Health Organization (2003) estimates that there are more than 1 billion overweight adults, including at least 300 million obese in the world.

In Europe, there are approximately 200 million overweight people. In the USA, the estimate reaches 127 million overweight adults, 60 million of them considered as obese and 9 million severely obese.

A high quality protein for balanced diets

Proteins such as Hydrolyzed Collagens can contribute to a balanced diet and help maintain body weight.

Protein enriched diets have demonstrated that they help to maintain body weight, in particular due to their “satieting” effect.

A short definition of satiety could be “the impression of lack of hunger between meals” and the longer a person goes between meals without feeling hungry, the better is the satiety value of any given nutrient.

Due to its excellent digestibility and its specific functionalities, Peptan™ can be used in high protein content food in addition with other proteins to provide a satiety effect and as a tool for weight management.

Experiments carried out with Peptan™ have shown that those proteins may have a high satiating effect even higher than the one of a dairy protein in a high protein diet.

Satiety and weight management

A foodstuff may have a satieting effect when its minimum protein content reaches 12 to 20%. In accordance with the above scientific results, Rousselot recommends adding Peptan™ to cereal bars, meal substitutes, soups, drinks; etc blended or not with other proteins to reach the required protein content with the best taste and mouthfeel.
