OUR INGREDIENTS
The RI for protein is 50g per day, but this only covers very basic bodily needs and is recommended to prevent protein deficiency; An average Indian diet typically provides less. Therefore Fugo has been designed keeping this in mind and contains 27g of high grade protein from two plant-based sources: peas & brown rice. A combination of the two protein sources allows for a complete amino acid profile and a counter to the typical grittiness in foods rich in pea protein. Based on an average 2,000-calorie intake, you’ll be consuming 148g protein per day from Fugo if you were to have it for every single meal (5 servings). This provides a good amount of protein for optimal health as well as building and maintaining a healthy body. Furthermore, protein is more satiating (appetite suppressing) than other macronutrients and we've designed Fugo to stop unwanted hunger pangs that can hamper a healthy diet.
We use low glycemic index (GI) carbohydrate sources such as fine powdered oat & tapioca flour paired with small quantities of rapidly absorbing carbohydrates such as maltodextrin (in order to provide small amounts of instant energy.) GI refers to the speed after which we ingest a carb source to the resulting rise in blood sugar and, hence, energy levels. We primarily use oats as a carbohydrate source as oats have a wide variety of other benefits such as having vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients too. That’s why despite costing more than other alternatives in the market that derive carbohydrates from cheap & harmful sugars the inclusion of oat powder is one of the main reasons why Fugo can be considered superior to many foods and food alternatives readily consumed today.
The fats in our meals provide up to 25% of the total energy. Sunflower & flaxseed fats are included to ensure that essential fatty acids that are required by the body for healthy functioning are present in abundant quantities. The inclusion of coconut fats makes Fugo rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs.) MCT’s much like good quality carbs in Fugo are to provide an energy-rich meal that is perfect for those of us with busy lifestyles .
The fibre in Fugo is a combination of insoluble and soluble fibres that are all naturally supplied from real food ingredients such as oats and flaxseeds. The high fibre content of Fugo ensures normal gut functioning and healthy and solid stools for our users. A healthy amount of fibre also assists in lowering blood cholesterol levels, aiding heart and general body functioning.
Please note: As Fugo is high in fibre we recommend first time users drink plenty of water as traditional diets often lack adequate levels of insoluble and soluble fibres.
Fugo is sweetened by the use of naturally occurring stevia. Although stevia is non-nutritive in nature and does not contain any strongly linked health benefits, the calorie-free sweetener is regarded as being safer and much better than other cheaper sweeteners such as sucralose which have been known to cause health issues.
Another natural ingredient in Fugo is fenugreek extract which has been known to slow the digestion of sugar in our stomachs, leading to more stable insulin levels throughout the day.
Staying true to Indian heritage, we have included ayurvedic ingredients such as Ashwagandha in Fugo. Although research is still being done to form a concrete link, Ashwagandha has been known to have anti-inflammatory properties aiding in muscle recovery and general fatigue.
Each serving of Fugo contains up to 120mg of green tea extract; That has been used due to the ingredients high antioxidant content, helping in general functioning and bodily processes. Green tea extract has also been touted as a crash-free alternative to caffeine, giving our users the perfect boost to start their mornings!
We use a precise blend of vegetable and fruit powders to not only naturally fortify our mealshakes but also to provide a more natural taste and colour.
