Vegan

Veganism is an extended form of vegetarianism in which no animal products are consumed. While vegetarians do not consume meat and fish, vegans do not consume any other animal products such as milk, eggs and honey. In addition, the vegan also avoids ingredients or additives of animal origin such as gelatine. Vegan products therefore contain no ingredients or additives of animal origin.

Lactose Free

Milk sugar (lactose) is rich in energy and very well tolerated - at least in the first years of our lives. During this time, the intestine produces enough lactase - the enzyme that breaks down lactose and makes it usable. If you have lactose intolerance, the lactose passes directly into the small intestine, which cannot process it. Lactose swells up in the colon and abdominal pain, flatulence and diarrhoea can occur. Lactose-free foods are therefore foods which are produced without milk or where the cleavage of lactose has already been chemically anticipated beforehand.

Gluten free

Gluten is a glue protein. It is present in many cereals such as wheat, rye and barley. Gluten is used e.g. for a loose structure of a dough or as a binding agent. Some people do not tolerate gluten, so that the intestinal mucosa is inflamed by the absorption of protein. The consequence of this is that they absorb too few nutrients, which can lead to a bowel disease - so-called celiac disease – of which every 250th German is affected.

Non GMO

Food supplements or foodstuffs are GMO-free if they do not contain or are produced from genetically modified organisms themselves. In order to use this term, no components produced by genetically modified organisms may be used.
