Gut : Gluten Sensitive
Gut health and wellness, food gastrology and individual responses (‘genetic, proteomic, metabolomic, functional and behavioural factors’) to food needs to include "at greater potential susceptibility” suffers of celiacs disease, inflammatory bowel disease or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), due to the link between a healthy microbiome to nearly every facet of health. You are what you absorb, unlocking of key binders, bioactive nutrition and, reducing chemical damage on microbial populations, is an area that Eat Right continues to invest results driven, explorative, yet meaningful research, development and innovation (R&D&I) [*].
For instance, the DELTA [**] model ('plant based and animal optimized'), shows the nutrient needs of the ‘global food system’ to have hidden hunger (MN) micro-nutrient [avitaminosis] deficiencies for Calcium and Vitamin E; low levels of availability for Iron [†], Potassium, Zinc, Vitamins A, B2 and B12; dietary fibre also ranked relatively low [1]. In addition, to nineteen “disease-specific risks of depletion or deficiency in trace elements and vitamins” [***], is “under-recognized” gastrointestinal thiamine deficiency and Coeliacs Disease [****].
So, although debates have raged over (highly processed) trans fat, free sugar (in particular), antacids (carbonates, sodium-ammonium) [*****] and a rush towards alternative protein creations [******], gene (only) diets, food as software, cellular agriculture etc, our survivalism focus is on areas of prephylactic insufficiencies, malabsorption issues and (bio)accessibility improvements. “Having Eat Right products available, is one way to do that” (referring to the “must have" and "need” for stores “to start carrying healthier products”) ie products fulfilling actual nutrient needs, within a chew-able (mastication) food structure, yet soft (FricatiVe) [*******] to eat ... all important, yet often, neglected digestive factors.
Hence, you will discover, the EATRIGHT® Pre-Scribed Super-seed Cereal is a well researched ‘natural source of’ Vitamins A, B1, B3 and E, 'natural source of' IRON, Potassium, Zinc and dietary fibre such that it contributes to normal psychological, neurological, nervous and immune functions, iron transport, metabolism, electrolyte balance, reduces tiredness and fatigue. Likewise, the EATRIGHT® Choc-Holics and Ginger (seed & switchel) Cookies have been designed and developed to be claimable ‘sources of’ Iron, Potassium, Zinc, Vitamin A, thiamine, niacin and therapeutic rutin with “gut supportive” microbiota accessible prebiotics (non GMO (no added lectins), less processed (reduced D-amino acids, lysinoalanine)) and excellent sources of dietary fiber, fibre.
Importantly, it has been found that “organically managed apples harbor a significantly more diverse, more even and distinct microbiota. Organic apples conceivably feature favorable health effects for the consumer” [********]. Hence, the use of organics (process and ingredients) is important. The EATRIGHT® gold kiwi fruit slices (organic, low rot, thin, thick or thick-&-thin options, inclusive of seeds) are a naturally functional 'new age' food: a "source of fiber, fibre" and have "unique, wholefood prebiotic action that supports gut microbiome balance for optimal digestive health" (New Zealand Institute for Plant & Food Research Limited). Buy now.
In addition to being one of the highest fruit sources of vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) and unique fruit-source vitamin B12 or cobalamin (10%RDI pre-dried (82% water) contributes to normal: homocysteine metabolism, psychological and immune system functions), kiwi fruit "enzyme actinidin enhances the hydrolysis of gluten proteins" [*********] 'mimics the enzyme pepsin in humans'. Or, in other words, EATRIGHT® Kiwi Fruit slices (gold or green; organic, low rot, with optional extras) are natural sources of 'ENZYMES' (ie enzymes within the product, not added to the ingredient list) to reduce the health and medical costs associated with accidental or intentional consumption of small amounts of gluten; please select freeze 'dry method' when making your purchase.
A long time ago, research"proposed the possible role of the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans in the onset of Coeliacs disease" (Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research, Nutrition and Food. Nieuwenhuizen WF, Pieters RM, Knipples LM, Jansen MC, Koppelman SJ; June 21, 2003) [**********]. Hence, all EATRIGHT® products have no added commercial, single strain, GE/GMO yeast, are solid food structures and provide a range of robust, don't degrade easily, prebiotics.
In particular, the EATRIGHT® Pre-Scribed Super-seeded (version 3.0) Crackers have proprietary ingredient sourcing, pre-treatments and processing to help maintain normal candida levels, suitable for a low yeast diet, FOLFAP [2] friendly (so NO fermentable oligosaccharides, lactose, fructose and no polyols (sugar alcohols)), a balanced source of essential amino acids, plant sterols and other trace elements (carrot source: 'Power of Lycopene, a potent antioxidant...better absorbed when fats are present') shop benefits.
To better reflect our pragmatic “more benefits in every bite” EATRIGHT (registered trademark) functional, nutrition spectrum (rather than what they are ‘free from’) we endeavor to be in a constant state of label, packaging, product, technology, testing and distribution transformation. This can be challenging due to numerous, differing regulatory requirements, product types, claim levels, rounding, database differences, version updates, testing precision [^], adequate intake (AI) substantiations and resource constraints.
For instance, our updated nutrition information is serving size dependent [typically in grams but can be 'household' serving size (tablespoons, cup etc)] and includes benefits such as "Excellent Natural Source of Fibre", "Natural Source of Vitamins A, B1, B3 and E", "Good Natural Source of Iron and Zinc", "Natural Source of Protein", "Natural Source of Essential Amino Acids", “no added”, low lactose, "65% less", "non GMO”, “made with organic ingredients*”, “less processed”, “vegetarian &/or vegan” depending on the product. Other "secret sauce", difficult to imitate developments, are beginning to be rolled-out although some are still under-wraps.

Of note: in-physical-store taste testing 'demos' have decreased over time (more: contracts, insurance excesses, extractive data requirements, retailer imposed middlers) desensitizing direct supplier-consumer interactions needed for product improvements and NPD (new product development).
