TVP contains compounds like isoflavones, which have antioxidant properties that may help reduce inflammation and the risk of chronic disease.
These bars are an excellent source of dietary fibre, which supports digestion and regular bowel movements, helps prevent constipation and lowers LDL cholesterol levels.
Dates contain antioxidants such as flavonoids, carotenoids and phenolic acid, which help fight oxidative stress and inflammation, protecting cells from damage.
