• Magnesium: Supports muscle and nerve function, and aids in energy production.

• Calcium: Essential for maintaining bone density and structural health.

• Potassium: Helps regulate fluid balance, nerve signals, and muscle contractions.

Functional Health Benefits

• Natural Cooling Agent: Known for its thermogenic properties, Sattu actively cools the body from the inside out, making it an optimal hydration booster during intense heat or post-workout recovery.

• Blood Sugar Regulation: With a low Glycemic Index (GI), it prevents sudden glucose spikes, providing a steady stream of energy ideal for diabetic-friendly diets or endurance athletes.

• Digestive Cleanse: The exceptionally high ratio of insoluble fiber acts as a natural prebiotic, feeding healthy gut bacteria and sweeping the digestive tract to prevent bloating and constipation.

• Satiety and Weight Management: The combination of dense protein and complex fiber keeps you fuller for significantly longer, naturally curbing appetite and cravings.
