It's seems like all of us are becoming more health conscious
especially when it comes to what we eat.
We're looking for foods or products containing ingredients
for a healthier lifestyle.
I know I am.
And our next guest has plenty of insight and first hand knowledge
on that subject.
I want you to meet Dr. Steve Jakeway, VP Business Development
for BioNeutra.
We are so glad you stopped by the set today.
Julie, thank you very much for having me around today.
We're gonna have a good conversation.
You know, you've got so many goodies out here and let's face
it, when we are wanting to be healthier we don't want to give
up all of our sweets, right?
That's exactly right.
And we don't have to.
Do we?
No, exactly.
Most of us want our cake and eat it to and we want to find a way
where we can get the most health out of those things with out
giving up on the taste and flavor of things.
So true.
And the best way to know exactly what we're getting is like to
bake it and put it in our own foods, right?
Exactly.
I've got two kids at home, two boys they love being in the
kitchen with me and making products.
So things like the pancakes or the waffles or even a smoothie.
They love to do it with dad.
So and is that this is completely an alternative to
sugar, right?
Yes, but it's more then that.
It's a three in one product.
It's got dietary fiber, its' got pre-biotics, and a low calorie
sweetener.
And all this is really important for maintaining a healthy
nutrition.
Ok, you've got me there.
I know probiotics, but I have no idea pre-biotics.
I'm in the dark.
What's the difference?
Both have a huge impact on our gut health.
Ok.
Gut health has been linked to lots of different things in
things like obesity, cholesterol, anxiety,
depression and even cancers.
The impact of a healthy gut, we're just beginning to figure
out.
Umm-hmm.
But we've got to find some way to help maintain a healthy guy
and fiber is one way to do that.
A plant based fiber and a product like VitaFiber gives
those bacteria that gives us those nutrients a real boost.
Ok, so good to know because sometimes we're trying to eat
healthy but we really don't know what we're doing and we're
eating things that don't taste good.
This actually I'm gonna taste a couple things later, but I've
tried it.
It really tastes good.
And you put it in everything.
Tell me about it.
Exactly, you know, we've shown some things today like pancakes
and waffles and muffins.
They can use the powder.
The smoothie that also uses the powder.
We've got protein bars and protein bars are really really a
really really big right now and we can make them really really
quickly with just a few ingredients.
That's great.
Now I, you know, my kids love smoothies but sometimes they
taste a little tart or something and they want to add sugar.
Or chalky or something like that.
I want to taste it.
So this is just a little VitaFiber mixed in here.
Ok, that's yummy, it tastes even better just taking that tang out
of it.
Exactly and what you've got there is not just a smoothy with
just a bit of sugar in there.
You've got a smoothie now you've got the fiber benefits and the
prebiotic benefits as well.
And the probiotics.
And the taste.
That's so cool.
And the taste.
Exactly.
Alright, they love waffles so I'm gonna really give you my
honest opinion here.
Yea, the syrups great on waffles and pancakes as well.
You can even put the VitaFiber right inside the waffles in
replace of sugar.
Ok.
I didn't know I was going to like it that much.
This is really good.
My kids would love this.
Exactly.
It's being able to give those your kids healthy choices and be
able to show that you can have something and still maintain a
really good taste, but still be healthy for you.
Ok, I hear that you've been around for years not really
known in the retail world.
VitaFibers been around.
It has been.
We've been around for 11 years.
Wow.
We've been selling to food manufacturers for seven or eight
years and things like the protein bars that you see here.
And a number of other products that customers are starting to
launch.
It's only the last two years that we've been approached by
customers that say, you know what I eat these products all
the time but I don't know where to get it.
Ohhh ok.
How do I do it..
How do we get it.
How do we do it.
Yea exactly.
