Probiótica Whey Bar Creamy Sabor Chocolate

The barcode 7899941201996 is associated with the product "Probiótica Whey Bar Creamy Chocolate" (or similar variations), which appears to be a protein bar marketed as a functional food with added probiotics and whey protein. Below is a detailed breakdown based on available data and general industry knowledge:

Product Overview

• Category: Protein bar (likely a meal replacement or snack bar with added probiotics).

• Key Ingredients (Likely):

  • Whey protein isolate/concentrate (common in protein bars).
  • Probiotics (e.g., Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium strains, often in powder or live-culture form).
  • Carbohydrates (e.g., maltodextrin, oats, or other fillers for texture).
  • Fats (e.g., coconut oil, cocoa butter, or vegetable oils).
  • Sweeteners (e.g., stevia, sucralose, or sugar alcohols like maltitol).
  • Flavorings: Chocolate (cocoa powder, chocolate chips, or artificial flavors).
  • Additives: Emulsifiers (e.g., lecithin), thickeners, or preservatives (e.g., sodium benzoate).

• Probiotic Claims:

  • Probiotics are often included to support gut health, digestion, or immune function. However, the specific strains, colony-forming units (CFUs), and survival rates (especially after processing) are rarely detailed on packaging. Some brands use heat-sensitive probiotics, which may not survive manufacturing unless encapsulated (e.g., with a protective coating).
  • Warning: Probiotic efficacy varies by strain and dosage. If the product contains live cultures, check for expiration dates (probiotics can die over time). Storage instructions (e.g., refrigeration) are critical for viability.

• Whey Protein:

  • Whey is a complete protein (contains all essential amino acids) but may cause digestive issues (e.g., bloating, gas) in sensitive individuals, especially if lactose-intolerant (unless lactose-free whey is used).
  • Allergen Warning: Contains milk/dairy (a common allergen).
