Immune Functional Snack – Raisins & Cranberries mix

For days when time is short, but hunger isn’t.

THE FACT

Does your working day move at full speed while your diet slips down the list of priorities again?

More than 5 billion people worldwide do not get an adequate intake of at least one of several essential micronutrients¹.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

When you work shifts, care for patients or customers, work in hospitality, or move from one task to the next in a warehouse, finding time to stop is not always easy.

Even on those days, your body needs essential vitamins and minerals from your diet. That is why what you eat between meals matters too.

THE BRIDGE

That is why we developed Immune Functional Snack – Raisins & Cranberries mix: a fruit and nut mix with raisins, cashews, almonds, and hazelnuts, designed as a convenient snack to keep close throughout the working day.

Origin / why

A small snack with plenty to offer.
Immune – Raisins & Cranberries mix combines nuts and dried fruit and is notable for its copper and manganese content. Copper supports normal immune function and energy-yielding metabolism².

“A snack doesn’t have to be just something to nibble on between meals. It’s also an opportunity to add nutrients to our daily diet. Combining fruit with nuts is a simple way to pack fiber, unsaturated fats, protein, and micronutrients into a single serving, especially when you don’t have time to prepare a full meal.”

01

Eye-opening fact

Even in Europe, where food is available in abundance, inadequate micronutrient intake remains a problem.¹

A review published in 2025 notes that this lack of micronutrients mainly affects people who follow restrictive diets, older adults, and other vulnerable groups.

Myth vs. reality

Myth:
“The immune system only becomes active when we are ill.”

Reality:
The immune system is continuously active, monitoring and responding to potential threats; looking after it is therefore important even when we feel well.
