At Bioteen, our commitment to health goes beyond providing basic nutrition via macronutrients and micronutrients. Depending on the product, we make use of added evidence-based nutritional factors like digestive enzymes as well as probiotics and prebiotics. Digestive enzymes aid in the efficient breakdown of nutrients, ensuring maximum absorption, while pre- and probiotics support a balanced microbiome that supports overall health. This holistic approach ensures that regardless of the specific shake you choose from our Health Shakes category, you receive comprehensive nutritional support tailored to enhance your body’s natural functions and promote overall health.
At Bioteen, transparency is our cornerstone. We believe in full traceability of our ingredients, right from the source to your table. Our whey protein is sourced from grass-fed cows that don’t receive bovine growth hormones and GMO-based feed, ensuring top-notch quality and purity. Our full cream milk powders come from trusted dairy suppliers who prioritise animal welfare and eco-friendly practices. Our cocoa powder is sourced from Rainforest Alliance-certified suppliers who ensure sustainable farming and better opportunities for farmers and their families. For the rest of our ingredients, we partner with suppliers renowned for their rigorous manufacturing practices and quality controls. This means you can trust that every scoop of our shakes is packed with quality ingredients, sourced from suppliers who share Bioteen’s beliefs quality, purity, integrity and scientific research.
In the pursuit of healthier alternatives, we’ve opted for fats that offer more than just calories. In shakes that require a source of fats we rely on quality fats like Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) derived from coconut oil, known for its easy digestibility and quick energy release, making it perfect for active teens. Additionally, we utilise fat from whole milk, which contains milk fat globules, providing a natural source of essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins that work together to enhance nutrient absorption and overall health. This approach avoids the inflammatory properties of processed vegetable oil powders (e.g. sunflower) that are commonly used in shakes. Our approach ensures a balanced intake of healthy fats that support brain function, energy levels, and overall health, making our shakes a smarter choice for growing teens.
At Bioteen, we prioritise the highest quality proteins to ensure optimal nutrition for growing teens. Dairy proteins, like whey and casein are both renowned for their superior amino acid profiles and bioavailability. These are complete protein sources that contain all essential amino acids required for physical growth and repair, and overall health, as well as naturally-occurring bioactive compounds that support immune function and enhance nutrient absorption. We deliberately avoid certain protein sources like soy due to its incomplete amino acid profile and GMO origins, which raise concerns about its environmental and health impacts.
At Bioteen, our approach to carbohydrate selection is rooted in delivering superior nutrition that supports the unique needs of active teens. We meticulously choose carbohydrates based on their quality, digestibility, and impact on energy levels throughout the day. Rather than relying on whole food flours as carbohydrate source, which can contain anti-nutritional factors like lectins and phytates that may hinder nutrient absorption when consumed raw, we prioritise purified sources such as Palatinose™ and naturally occurring carbs like milk sugar. These carbohydrates are selected and used in specific quantities & synergistic combinations to ensure efficient digestibility and sustained energy release without causing undesirable spikes in blood sugar levels. By doing this, Bioteen ensures that every shake not only meets high nutritional standards but also contributes to sustained performance and optimal health for growing teens.
