INGREDIENTS
Meal Replacement for Weight Control Shake is formulated with natural ingredients. It is high in plant-based proteins and a source of dietary fibre, with 23 essential vitamins and minerals, healthy fat and natural origin sweetener.
High in plant-based proteins – from pea and faba bean
Pea and faba bean (also known as fava bean or broad bean) are sustainable plant-based proteins (Poore & Nemecek, 2018: Multari et al., 2015) common to the Nordic Diet.
One serving (25g) of Meal Replacement mixed with 250ml of 1.5% cows’ milk or 310ml soy milk alternative** provides 20.2-20.6g of naturally sourced proteins.
- Protein helps you feel full (Paddon-Jones et al, 2008).
- Protein helps to maintain muscle mass and promote fat loss (Longland et al., 2016; Murphy et al., 2014).
- Together, a protein-rich diet and exercise can help muscle synthesis, increase strength, and promote loss of fat (Weinheimer et al, 2010) – which can be especially important when dieting or maintaining weight loss results.
Source of dietary fibre – from faba bean, corn and chicory
Faba bean is a legume common in the Nordic Diet. Includes faba bean fibre, resistant dextrin from corn and prebiotic inulin fibre from chicory root. One serving (25g) of Meal Replacement mixed with 250ml 1.5% cow’s milk provides 4.5-4.8g of dietary fibre, and 6.7-7g when mixed with 310ml soy milk alternative**.
- Dietary fibre adds bulk to the diet which helps with digestion and regularity and helps you to feel full, which can help prevent overeating (Slavin & Green, 2007).
- High fibre diets are linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer (Reynolds et al., 2019).
- Inulin is a prebiotic fibre, that helps promote a happy gut and a healthier you!
Fortified with 23 essential vitamins and minerals
When a reduced calorie diet is not planned well, it can lead to deficiencies caused by a lower intake of key vitamins and minerals (Calton, 2010). Wellosophy Meal Replacement for Weight Control Shake is fortified with 23 essential vitamins and minerals, which – among many other things – help to:
- contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress (Vitamins C, E, copper, zinc)
- contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue (Vitamins B, C, iron, magnesium)
- support normal function of immune health (Vitamins A, C, D, selenium, iron, zinc)
- support normal energy-yielding metabolism (B vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, iron, iodine)
Healthy fat – sunflower oil
Sunflower oil is a healthy source of fat high in linoleic acid – an omega-6 essential fatty acid. The addition of linoleic acid to meal replacements helps to combat the loss of essential fatty acids from the fat tissue during weight loss (EFSA, 2021). The addition of linoleic acid is a requirement to comply with the meal replacement criteria.

Stevia is a natural origin alternative to sugar, with zero calories.

(18%), Micronutrient premix (Potassium salts of orthophosphoric acid, Calcium carbonate, Magnesium oxide, Calcium salts of orthophosphoric acid, Ferrous fumarate), Resistant dextrin, Inulin (6,5%), Natural flavourings, Sunflower oil, Sunflower lecithin, Thickeners (Guar gum, Xanthan gum), Micronutrient premix (L-ascorbic acid, DL-alpha-tocopheryl acetate, Zinc sulphate, Nicotinamide, Retinyl acetate, Manganese sulphate, Phylloquinone, Calcium-D-pantothenate, Sodium selenate, D-biotin, Cupric sulphate, Cyanocobalamin, Potassium iodide, Pteroyl-monoglutamic acid, Ergocalciferol, Pyridoxine hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Thiamin mononitrate), Sweetener (Steviol glycosides from Stevia).
** 1.5% cow’s milk or soy milk alternative. It is important to use soy milk alternative instead of cow’s milk as soy is a complete protein, providing all of the essential amino acids, in sufficient amount, that the body needs for growth and repair. Other plant-based milk alternatives (almond, coconut, rice, oat) are not suitable due to their nutritional composition. For example, their protein content is much lower than cow’s milk or soy milk alternative so they do not meet the criteria to be classified as a meal replacement. Be aware that some soy milks contain added sugar – make sure to choose one with no added sugar.
