ingredients
disadvantage, however, is the low
tolerability, as iron ions react in the
gastrointestinal tract and often
cause irritation or lead to hard,
black stools, constipation and
intestinal cramps. As a solution,
SunActive ® Fe is a highly
bioavailable iron compound that’s
available in various concentrations,
all of which are very gentle, well
tolerated, less likely to cause
colour changes and free from the
typical ‘iron taste’. From the same
camp, SunActive ® Q10 E is a
patented Coenzyme Q10 delivery
system that overcomes solubility
issues: it enables food and drinks
to become effective Q10 suppliers.
SunActive ® Q10 E makes
Coenzyme Q10 easily dispersible
in water and increases its
bioavailability by impressive 320
per cent. Neutral in flavour with a
light colour, it has an orange juicelike
appearance.
WGCP ® reaches the

gradually and provides

energy without the
negative side-effects
associated with caffeine
consumption
Long-term energy without
the ‘crash’
Energy drinks are still as popular
as ever, but many users are all too
familiar with the ‘boost & crash’
effect they deliver. Healthconscious
consumers and women
in particular are looking for a
gentler source of that muchneeded
energy. With Whole Green
Coffee Powder ® (WGCP ® ), Taiyo
offers an alternative to caffeine.
Ideally suited for functional drinks
with a natural or wellness
positioning, the finely ground
powder is derived from green
Coffea arabica and Coffea robusta
beans. Because WGCP ® is made
from dried, unroasted whole green
coffee beans, it contains all the
valuable ingredients from the
beans – in contrast to roasted
coffee or green coffee extracts.
WGCP ® therefore contains much
more than just caffeine. It is also
high in amino acids, quinic acids
and chlorogenic acids as well as
antioxidants, minerals and fibre.
Plus, as it contains much less
caffeine than roasted coffee, it
has fewer side-effects and
is much more
effective; the fibre
and bean husks it
contains prevent
the rapid release
of natural
caffeine.
WGCP ® reaches
the bloodstream
quite gradually
and provides the
body with sustained
energy without the
negative side-effects
associated with caffeine
consumption.
Dr Stefan Siebrecht, Managing
Director of Taiyo GmbH, has
developed a large variety of
innovative drinks concepts: “We
always think in a holistic way. One
of our most novel concepts is a
cocoa and cappuccino flavoured
vegan protein shake with moringa,
hemp protein, pea protein, bean
fibre and WGCP ® , and we can
even enrich it with vitamins,
minerals or Coenzyme
Q10. This is what
consumers want:
products that deliver a
whole range of
valuable health
benefits and that
help them to
improve
their daily
diet in an
indulgent
way.” ■
