The information below was written by BIO International, makers of Organic Food Bar and Organic Vegan Bar.

Organic Food Bar is your natural source of organic vitamins, major and trace minerals, amino acids, enzymes, phytonutrients, antioxidants and other nutrients shown to boost immunity and assist in disease prevention. Low-temperature processing preserves irreplaceable nutrients which are destroyed in most commercial food bars. There are no toxic poisons like herbicides, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and fungicides as in most other non-organic food bars. We also use no genetically engineered plants or any altered ingredients. Our exclusive formula contains phytosterols and sterolins, that have shown to help inhibit irregular cell growth (Buffalo State University, Anti-Cancer Research-April 1999), accelerate recovery from various diseases related to a dysfunctional immune system (University of Stellenbosh CapeTown, South Africa), and help lower the risk of cardiovascular disease by interfering with unhealthy cholesterol absorption, (Buffalo State University, Dr. Atif Awad).

Protein - for sustaining and building strength and muscle tissue, nothing is more important. But what most athletically inclined people do not know is that quality - i.e. digestability and PH balance - are more important than quantity. Consuming a large amount of acid-forming, hard to digest protein is not the best direction to take. We ONLY utilize organic almond butter and rice protein in our bars due to the fact that they are easily digested, unlike isolated soy protein, and have a neutral or even alkalizing effect on the blood and cellular tissue. This is VERY important, because sustained activity creates excess lactic acid in the body and to than consume products that are also acid producing - including every other bar available - simply adds to the problem. With our bars you can get the protein you need, but in a form that helps to reduce acid in your body creating noticeably less joint and muscle soreness and greatly reduced recovery time from hard workouts. This allows you to work out harder, longer and more often so that reaching your health and fitness goals happen much quicker.

Healthy Carbohydrates - for creating sustained energy, mental clarity and satisfying the appetite is imperative. With all of the current hype regarding low carbohydrate diets and energy bars, nothing is more miss-understood. When you have an Organic Food Bar for breakfast or lunch, you are consuming only 12% of the recommended daily value of carbohydrates. This is a truly healthy low carb diet perfect for more energy or helping to lose weight. Processed and refined sugars, such as fructose or corn syrup are the problem not carbohydrates. Additionally, we use agave nectar in three of our formulas (Vegan, Omega-3 and Active Greens). Agave nectar has a very low glycemic index, rating at 10 where a score of 55 is considered very low, thus being a very low impact sugar. The bottom line is that when used as a meal, our Organic Food Bars give you just the right amount of carbohydrates to keep your energy levels optimum.

Healthy Fat - are essential for extended endurance, cardiovascular health, improved immunity and hormone balance. The bottom line: the body needs good fats. All of the Organic Food Bars are rich in essential fatty acids, phytosterols and sterolins, all renowned for their critical health benefits that cannot be achieved on a low or no fat diet. In fact, our Organic Omega Food Bar provides 2 grams of Omega 3's, the most essential of the essential fatty acids. Healthy fats, such as those found in Organic Food Bars are necessary for endurance athletes or anyone needing extra immune system support.

Phyto-nutrients - improve overall health, immunity and resistance to disease. In the quest for better health, certain phyto-nutrients have been proven to be very helpful. Organic Food Bars are rich in many different types of phyto-nutrient sprouts including organic flax, soy, and quinoa; and superfoods including wheat grass, barley grass and blueberry (Active Greens Bar only). These nutrient dense sprouts and superfoods are highly concentrated in a wide variety of phyto-nutrients that support the body in its quest to regain and maintain health and balance.

Enzymes are preserved - in the Organic Food Bars due to cold processing. Organic Food Bars are rich in enzymes that are helpful in digestion and utilization of the nutrients at a cellular level. It is important to include fresh, raw, unprocessed foods in our diet. All of the Organic Food Bars are a powerful step in that direction, while maintaining the affordability and convenience necessary in todayÕs busy lifestyles!
