Supersonic Plus Active Meal versus Huel and the rest. Composition analysis.

In today's dynamically developing world, where the pace of life often does not allow the preparation of a full -fledged meal, innovations have appeared on the food market that allow quick and balanced satisfaction of hunger. Products in the category Meal Replacement (meal substitutes) offer convenience and at the same time provide all the necessary nutrients that the body needs for proper functioning.

Products in this category base their compositions primarily on proteins, ingredients that are a source of carbohydrates and fats. Regardless of the origin of individual ingredients, the composition of all products in the Meal Replacement category is composed in such a way as to provide the body with the right amount of calories, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fiber and vitamins and minerals. Although all of them are properly balanced in terms of nutritional value, manufacturers of different brands use different ingredients and present a varied offer.

One of the latest and most advanced products in this category is Supersonic Plus Active Meal.

Summary

Supersonic Plus Active Meal is a full -fledged cocktail that combines high -quality nutrients, such as:

• Whey protein (from milk) or in veg-vegetable version (from peas, pumpkin, carob and chickpeas)-the main source of protein, which supports the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.
• Whole grain oat flour - provides complex carbohydrates and fiber, which affects the stabilization of blood sugar levels.
• Ground linseed -a source of omega-3 fatty acids that support heart and cardiovascular health.
• Superfoods and plant extracts - In this follicular hazard (source of iodine), Maca root (supports regeneration), Acai berry extract (rich in antioxidants) and Acerola extract, standardized on vitamin C, which supports immunity.
• Omega 3-6-9 fatty acids -An important element of a healthy diet that helps maintain a balance between omega-3 and omega-6 acids, which is crucial for reducing inflammation in the body.
• MCT oil - Medium -chain triglycerides, which are quickly absorbed by the body, giving a quick boost of energy. (In Huel Black you will only find sunflower oil)

Proteins - source of origin

Three mainstles can be seen, separated on the basis of origin used by Białek and their quantity. The first is products whose recipe uses ingredients of animal origin and is based on milk proteins - an example is Supersonic, Yfood, and Eatyx. The second are products created based on soy protein (Jimmy Joy, Soylent), while the third group of products is formulated on plant proteins other than soy (Supersonic, Huel).

Supersonic Plus Active Meal is a modern approach to a full -fledged meal that meets the needs of the body. Thanks to the high protein content, up to 44 g in one portion (i.e. 10% more than Huel Black, 38% more than Eatax from Oshee and 33% more than Humma from SFD). Protein also provides satiety after a meal, which prevents eating and consuming excessive calories (1). Supersonic Plus Active Meal is a product in two versions - veg and whey protein.

Some MRP products are based on soy protein, due to its amino acid composition and absorption similar to animal proteins (milk, meat or eggs). However, soy is a controversial product for several reasons. It is strongly allergic, was qualified to group 8 of the most common allergens in the world (3). In addition, most of the world cultivated in the world is genetically modified, and it is used for its cultivation. The most famous pesticide used for soybean cultivation is Roundup, whose main ingredient is glyphosat - a substance assessed by WHO as "potentially carcinogenic". Despite this, the pesticide is still in use, which is not without impact on the environment and the health of people living in areas where soy is grown. In these places, 43% of all deaths are caused by cancer, and glyphosat was detected, among others, in women's milk, cotton and personal hygiene. Studies have shown that it leads to irreversible changes in the structure of the brain, heart and digestive tract (4). In addition, savannans are developed under soybean cultivation and tropical forests are cut out, as a result of which a very large number of animal species lose their habitats, and some of them are threatened with extinction (5).

That is why Supersonic - unlike such companies as Soylen, Jimmy Joy - uses other sources of plant proteins whose crops are balanced, and their consumption only benefits. An alternative to soy can also be animal proteins, which are used in a different version of Supersonic Plus Active Meal. These are cow's milk proteins with a sustainable amino acid profile, but they are not suitable for vegans and people allergic to them.

Carbohydrates

The source of carbohydrates in Supersonic Plus Active Meal is mainly oat flour and linseed, while in Huel Black linseed and tapioca starch. Oatmeal is a gluten -free raw material containing numerous health -promoting ingredients, such as B vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, iron and antioxidants. Particular attention should be paid to the fiber fraction found in oats-β-glucan. It reduces the level of "bad" cholesterol in the body, slows down glucose absorption, normalizing blood sugar and has a prebiotic effect on intestinal microbiota (7). Other products, such as Yfood, also contains maltodextrins (obtained in the starch decomposition process) - chemicals that are a "cheap carbohydrate filler". They are characterized by a high glycemic index, which means that they are absorbed and metabolized very quickly (causing a rapid increase in blood glucose levels, and then an equally rapid decrease), which ensures a feeling of satiety for a short time, followed by hunger. In addition, long -term consumption of maltodextrins can disturb the balance in the intestinal microflora, causing a reduction in the amount of bacteria beneficial to health (8).

Fat source

Most manufacturers of meal substitutes for the main source of fat in the product choose oil: in the case of Jimmy Joy it is sunflower oil, Yfood contains sunflower and rapeseed oils. In Huel Black you will find three fat sources: powdered sunflower oil, linseed and MCT with coconut powder - i.e. medium -chamfered triglycerides, which are saturated fatty acids. Sunflower oil, the most common source of fat among MRP products, has an unfavorable ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids-a significant excess of omega 6 acids can cause inflammatory processes in the body. It is chosen due to economic aspects and general acceptance of consumers (10).

In most products, we also find linseed, which is a native raw material with a very beneficial fatty acid profile. Minced linseed is also a source of fat in Supersonic Plus Active Meal. It contains about 20% of α-linolenic acid, which is included in the group of essential unsaturated Omega-3 fatty acids and has an antioxidant function in the body, protecting from the development of cardiovascular disease and inflammatory development (12). In addition, in Supersonic Plus Active Meal you will find omega 3-6-9 acids. The ratio of fatty acids in it is very beneficial to health due to the fact that the modern diet has a significant excess of omega-6 acids, which can cause, among others, the intensification of inflammatory processes, which is why it is so important to provide the right amount of omega-3 acids in the diet (1).

Superfoods as well as vitamins and minerals

Manufacturers, trying to enrich the composition of their products, add so -called Superfoods - i.e. raw materials of natural origin containing health -promoting nutrients. An example would be Huel, which adds antioxidant green tea extract to Huel Black and a powder combustion, which is a source of B -group vitamins. Supersonic plus Active Meal is a wealth of natural superfoods, such as acacia fiber, powdered maca root, which regenerates the body and adds energy (14) iodine (15). Thanks to the addition of superfoods, which provide the necessary vitamins and minerals for health, it was possible to limit the addition of these ingredients to the level that allows you to create a complete, balanced product. Supersonic Plus Active Meal contains all the necessary 26 vitamins and minerals, of which 13 is added to make the meal full -fledged. For comparison, 16 micronutrients (2) are added to Huel Black, and the fertile Shake from Jimmy Joy has 25 (17) added.

Supersonic Plus Active Meal is a modern, full -fledged meal that combines comfort, taste and health. Thanks to the high protein content, omega-3-6-9 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, this is the perfect choice for people looking for a fast meal.
