As appetite and food intake decline during GLP-1-based weight management, getting sufficient nutrition from smaller amounts of food becomes increasingly important. Protein deserves particular attention as it contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass during periods of weight loss.

Ideal for creating nutrient-dense products

HydroBEEF™ provides manufacturers with a concentrated protein ingredient for developing nutrient-dense products for consumers who may be eating less. Its high protein content makes it possible to add meaningful amounts of protein without requiring large portions – helping make every eating occasion count.

 

Spreading protein intake across the day

Rather than consuming most daily protein in one large meal, spreading protein intake across the day provides several opportunities to meet protein needs. HydroBEEF™ can support this approach through a variety of product formats and eating occasions.

 

It can be incorporated into protein powders and shakes for breakfast or post-exercise nutrition, ready-to-drink beverages for convenient protein intake, and protein bars or other compact snacks between meals.

 

HydroBEEF™ helps increase protein when portion sizes decline

For manufacturers developing nutrition for the growing GLP-1 consumer group, HydroBEEF™ offers a versatile way to increase protein density across different formats and occasions – supporting adequate protein intake even when appetite and portion sizes decline.
