LKF is an Australian grown nutritionally balanced natural ingredient which is high in protein, high in dietary fibre (including soluble fibre), high in antioxidants, high in minerals, low in fat, and has a very low glycemic index. Recent evidence indicates LKF can play an important role in many aspects of health. It is great for diabetics, and has also been shown to assist in the management and reduction of cholesterol, hypertension, and improvement of bowel health. It can also assist the body’s natural capability to turn off hunger cravings by metabolising food slowly in the stomach.

Australian researchers now recognise LKF as being extremely beneficial for health because the ingredient leads to appetite suppression and reduced energy intake. Research conducted at major Australian universities has found that food products made of LKF are likely to be intensively beneficial in body weight management because LKF makes you feel full almost instantly.

LKF has been scientifically attributed to improvements in many other health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension (blood pressure), and improved bowel health.

Beneficially promote satiety (appetite suppression) and energy balance
Australian researchers from the University of Western Australia and Deakin University writing in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2006) pointed out, "Results suggest that protein and fibre enrichment of bread with LKF has the potential to beneficially influence appetite and reduce energy intake."

Their study was conducted on 16 subjects with an average age of 58 years and an average body mass index of 31. The two goals of the research were: to investigate how bread enriched with LKF works on satiety and energy intake as compared to standard white/wheat bread, and to study how LKF bread and white bread affect the level of the appetite hormone ghrelin in the blood stream.

Ghrelin is known as the hunger hormone and is primarily found in the cells of the stomach epithelial tissue, but also in various areas of the brain and hypothalamus. Before we eat, the levels of ghrelin in our bodies are very high and stimulate brain cells that "let us know" that we should eat. After we eat, the levels of the hunger hormone decrease considerably. Therefore, high levels of ghrelin in one's body make people hungrier, while lower levels of the hormone do not trigger hunger sensation.

In this study depending on the group they had been assigned to, volunteers had to eat LKF enriched bread, or white/wheat bread, for breakfast and in a sandwich for lunch every day for a month. Overall results of the study showed that subjects who consumed LFK enriched bread reported feeling full considerably more quickly than their peers in the white/wheat bread group. Also, LKF enriched bread accounted for a 20% lower energy intake, and lower levels of the appetite hormone ghrelin than white bread.

Researchers concluded: "Consistent with the findings for self-reported satiety (appetite suppression), the LKF enriched bread breakfast resulted in up to 20 percent lower energy intake at lunch than did the white/wheat bread breakfast. These results are supported by previous studies that showed high-protein diets reduce energy intake at subsequent meals.

Another study published in the British Journal of Nutrition (2004) achieved a 37 per cent reduction in the fat content of sausage patties by replacing meat fat with LKF. The subjects ate fewer kilojoules at the test breakfast and maintained a lowered kilojoule intake for the remainder of the day.

Diabetes/low glycemic impact
Lupin has the lowest GIycemic Index of any commonly consumed grain. The Lupin is high in protein (30-40%) and is significantly high in dietary fibre (30%). It has low oil (6%) and contains minimal starch. It therefore has a very low Glycemic Index (GI), which has significant implications by beneficially influencing glycemic control for diabetics.

LKF inclusion into white bread significantly reduced the blood glucose (sugar) response and the insulin response of 11 men.

Reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease/improve blood lipids
Lupin fibre acts as a soluble fibre and drops the total cholesterol without affecting the HDL cholesterol. 38 men ate a control diet and a diet of food products enriched with Australian sweet lupin fibre for a month each. The study found that the lupin-enriched diet lowered total blood cholesterol by 4.5 per cent and the nasty LDL cholesterol by 5.4 per cent.

LKF is also high in phytosterois which assists in reducing cholesterol.

Reduce the risk of hypertension/improve blood pressure
Lupins are the largest natural source of the amino acid arginine which has been implicated in having beneficial effects on endothelial function (improved blood vessel performance).

Promote digestive and bowel health/anti-cancer
Lupin foods reduce transit time, lower the colon pH (anti cancer) and act as a 'pre-biotic'.

Hi-Maize is an Australian natural ingredient derived from high amylose maize (corn) that delivers genuine health benefits and can be added to everyday favourite foods without changing taste, texture or appearance. Rich in a form of dietary fibre known as resistant starch (starch which resists digestion in the small intestine), it enhances the nutritional content of food and enables people to improve their vitality, digestive well-being and energy balance. Evidence from research studies indicates that resistant starch plays an important role in maintaining healthy bowel function, suppressing appetite, reduce blood glucose response, and increasing metabolism (burning) of fat.

How much resistant starch do we need? The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), has recommended that intakes of resistant starch should be around 20g a day, which is almost four times greater than a typical western diet currently provides.

Promoting digestive and bowel health/anti-cancer
Maintaining good digestive health is essential to physical well-being. Consumption of products containing Hi-maize resistant starch positively affects digestive health by:

	Selectively increasing beneficial bacteria, while suppressing pathogenic bacteria – a ‘prebiotic’ fibre
	Helping to maintain healthy colon cells by increasing short-chain fatty acid production (particularly butyrate, which is essential for colon health)
	Reducing intestinal pH and the production of potentially harmful ammonia and phenols
	Promoting regularity with a mild laxative effect.

There is growing recognition of the important connection between diet and bacterial metabolism in the colon and specifically how the interaction can impact diseases like colon cancer. Research with dietary components, like resistant starch, supports a direct link between diet, colonic bacteria and colon cancer, with recent animal studies indicating high resistant starch diets may prevent colon carcinogenesis.

Beneficially promote satiety (appetite suppression) and energy balance
Recent breakthrough research has linked the fermentation of resistant starch with increased levels of gut hormones (PYY and GLP-1) that play a role in satiety (fullness) and potentially, long-term energy balance. While the research is still in its early stages, the link between the products of resistant starch fermentation and gene expression for hormones shown to reduce energy intake is very exciting. Indeed, with his most recent findings, the principal investigator, Dr. Michael Keenan suggested, “We believe the fermentation of resistant starch may be an effective, natural approach to the treatment of obesity.”

Optimum energy balance/glycemic impact
Hi-maize resistant starch can lower glycemic impact of foods when, for example, it is used to substitute refined wheat flour. As a slowly digested and slowly fermented carbohydrate, Hi-maize decreases the amount and moderates the rate at which glucose (a sugar) is released into the bloodstream. Hi-maize:

	Helps to balance your energy following a meal
	Reduces the caloric (energy) content of foods when substituted for wheat flour.
	Helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, by increasing insulin sensitivity in healthy people.

A number of human studies have demonstrated the capacity for Hi-maize resistant starch to elicit a positive impact on both postprandial glucose (blood sugar) and insulin response. And recently, a human trial with Hi-maize based resistant starch incorporated into test beverages showed effective reductions in the relative glycemic (blood sugar) response without any change in palatability (taste).

Increase fat oxidation/burning
Recent research has shown resistant starch has the capacity to increase fat oxidation (fat burning).

Trials conducted in the United States have shown that the consumption of a meal containing 5 percent resistant starch led to an increase in fat oxidation (burning) of 23 percent, and this increase is sustained throughout the day, even if only one meal contained resistant starch.

Although further research is required to support these findings and to elucidate possible mechanisms, it appears that the inclusion of resistant starch changed the order in which the body oxidized (burned) the available macronutrients, preferentially oxidizing (burning) fat.

Taken in combination with recent animal research linking resistant starch fermentation with increased levels of satiety hormones and the World Health Organisation research supporting the ability of dietary fibre to protect against weight gain, the potential for high fibre eating patterns (including resistant starches) to address the growing issue of obesity is very real.

Soy Protein Isolate is a premium all natural ingredient. Soy Protein Isolate provides essential protein for the growth and repair of cells and muscles, and contains all of the essential amino acids in a balanced profile.

Soy Protein Isolate is easily digested and absorbed. It is low in fat, contains no animal products and is free from artificial additives. It is suitable for vegetarians, vegans, those with milk or egg allergies, people trying to lose weight, and those trying to build lean muscle mass. It has no discernable taste and enhances the nutritional quality of foods without effecting texture.


Evidence suggests Soy plays an important role in many aspects of health such as; reduced risk of certain cancers, improving women’s health, and reducing LDL cholesterol.

Increasingly we are becoming aware of the potential role of soy protein in:

	Weight management (satisfying hunger)
	Menopausal symptom relief (reduced hot flashes)
	Heart health (cholesterol reduction)
	Bone health (increased bone density)
	Performance nutrition (lean muscle building/recovery)

Soy Protein Isolate is a complete high quality protein supplement, and is rich in Soy isoflavones. Soy isoflavones have many astounding health benefits.

Improve women’s health
Problems associated with menopause, including osteoporosis, also appear to be favourably affected by higher intakes of soy products and by soy isoflavones specifically. The "hot flashes" that some menopausal women experience are significantly reduced in some who consume soy products and/or soy isoflavones. These benefits have been demonstrated in randomized, double blind studies.

Reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease/improve blood lipids
Animal in vitro, and human studies, have provided further support for the epidemiological studies. Soy proteins were shown to lower blood plasma levels of cholesterol in animal models of hypercholesterolemia, and subsequently, a meta analysis of human studies has more recently established that soy (isoflavones) consumption is significantly associated with reduction in plasma cholesterol levels in humans, as well. These effects are largely attributed to the isoflavone components of soy.

Reduce the risk of certain cancers
Epidemiological data indicate that consumption of soy (isoflavones) is particularly associated with reduced risk of breast, lung and prostate cancers, as well as leukaemia.

Beneficially promote satiety (appetite suppression) and energy balance
Evidence suggests diets that are relatively high in protein can be successful for weight management. When soy protein isolate, as an ingredient in the Appetite Right Lupin+ Formula, is added to foods it will help you feel fuller for longer (appetite suppression), which ultimately helps adherence to a reduced-calorie (energy) eating plan. Importantly, excess protein does not turn to fat. This makes it easier to control your appetite and lose weight.

Soy Protein Isolate is a long lasting sustained energy source, giving your cells the proper nutrition you need to stay active all day long.
