Everyday milk powders responding to consumer need around specific health issues

Weight Control

Maintaining a healthy body weight is important for overall health, yet it can be a challenge for many consumers. Many foods we enjoy the most can be low in macronutrients such as protein, as well as high on the Glycemic Index (GI). Protein content and the GI of a food have a significant impact on how hungry we feel, with protein helping to slow digestion and low GI foods producing slow-release energy to alleviate ‘crashes’ that can drive cravings. NZMP range includes consumer milk powders that contain high quality, nutrient dense protein and certified as low GI, to support healthy weight goals and keep consumers fuller for longer.

Diabetes

Diabetes is the result of the body not being able to manage its blood sugar levels within a normal range. While type I diabetes is something that you can be born with, type II may be avoidable through good nutrition and regular exercise. Both types can be managed by following low Glycemic (GI) eating patterns. Low GI foods cause slow rises in blood sugar levels, helping to avoid issues that uncontrolled blood sugar levels can cause. NZMP has consumer milk powders that are certified low GI and are eligible to carry the Glycemic Index foundation symbol as well as low GI claims in some markets.

Maternal Health

Eating a healthy, balanced diet is important during pregnancy, as the benefits to both baby and mother are well documented. A low GI eating plan made up of nutrient-dense, protein rich foods helps make sure infants have the best start in life.

NZMP has consumer milk powders that are certified low GI and provide a wide range of micronutrients such as calcium, folic acid, iron, magnesium and vitamin A designed to support pregnancy, maternal health and fetal development.
