The new Fiteg2 formula: why did we replace sweeteners with natural stevia?

The core of the Fiteg2 brand has always been the desire to offer clean and effective functional nutrition that helps achieve athletic goals while taking care of the body's health and internal balance. By analyzing the latest scientific studies in nutritional science and listening to customer feedback, a significant step in product development was taken, and the decision was made to completely eliminate artificial sweeteners in our protein powder recipes in favor of stevia.

Replacing laboratory-synthesized ingredients with plant-based raw materials prevents additional strain on the gastrointestinal tract, which is especially sensitive after intense physical activity and requires nutrients that are as easily assimilable as possible. By excluding artificial additives, faster absorption of amino acids into the bloodstream and a more efficient muscle recovery process are ensured.

Why exactly natural stevia will replace the previously used sucralose in Fiteg2 protein powder recipes from now on, and how this formula improvement will help take even better care of your health in the long term – read on!

Brand story: why did we decide to change the formula?

Our brand's development has always been based on science, and the previous use of sucralose was a strategically correct decision, as it is one of the most studied sweeteners in the world, recognized as completely safe by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). However, modern fitness and healthy lifestyle enthusiasts are becoming increasingly educated, and the global "Clean Label" movement clearly demonstrates that consumers increasingly demand products with natural ingredients derived from plants rather than laboratories.

We are not changing the recipe because the previous one was ineffective, but because we constantly follow nutritional science trends and customer health indicators, ruling out any compromises when it comes to long-term well-being. That is exactly why the inclusion of natural stevia in our protein powder recipes became a logical step forward, as this plant extract from Stevia rebaudiana leaves has gained universally recognized safety status and leaves no negative impact on the body.

The transition to stevia puts the brand on par with global premium sports nutrition manufacturers who consciously reject synthetic components in favor of the highest purity standards. Pure egg white itself is a biologically high-quality and minimally processed protein source, so combining it with a plant-based sweetener creates a logical synergy, providing completely natural functional nutrition.

Caring for customer health: no irritation to the intestinal tract

Fiteg2's goal is to ensure that sports nutrition provides only pure energy and maximum body recovery, rather than a feeling of heaviness, discomfort, or bloating before or after workouts. Although artificial sweeteners have long been an industry standard, recent nutritional science data indicates that regular consumption of synthetic sweeteners can cause increased irritation in the digestive tract for some athletes. During intense physical exertion, blood flow is naturally diverted from the stomach to the working muscles, making the digestive system much more sensitive to any artificially synthesized molecules that might slow down nutrient absorption.

The transition to the new formula means that Fiteg2 products are now maximally gentle on the gastrointestinal tract and help maintain stable digestive function even during high-intensity physical activity. Unlike laboratory-created compounds, stevia leaf extract (steviol glycosides) is not fermented in the oral cavity and does not break down in the intestinal tract in a way that disrupts natural microflora, creating no additional burden on the enzymatic system.

Since stevia does not cause an osmotic imbalance in the intestines, the risk of bloating or fluid retention—a common occurrence when using cheaper sports nutrition products—is completely eliminated. To better understand the difference between various sweeteners and gain insight into how synthetic ingredients affect the mucous membrane of the digestive organs, useful information is provided in the article “Artificial sweeteners vs. stevia in protein powders: what you need to know about the impact on the digestive tract”.

Discover our updated product range featuring natural stevia

A new and clean formula has been introduced to our sweetened protein powder recipes, where the previously used sucralose has been completely replaced with stevia leaf extract (steviol glycosides). Natural stevia is a unique plant-based sweetener that not only causes no irritation to the digestive system, but also has a zero glycemic index, guaranteeing that consuming the shake will not trigger a rapid glucose spike or insulin secretion into the bloodstream.

In addition, the use of stevia reduces the risk of tooth decay because oral bacteria cannot ferment its molecular structure, thus protecting tooth enamel from damage and the formation of an acidic environment. The refinement of our product formula allows the natural amino acid base of egg white to fully stand out, creating a high-quality nutritional solution that is perfectly suited both for strict low-carbohydrate diets and diabetes prevention.

• Vanilla Egg White Protein: a mild, classic flavor that perfectly complements the daily nutritional base and provides easily assimilable nutrients immediately after physical exertion.
• Chocolate Egg White Protein: a rich and expressive flavor profile for chocolate lovers that helps satisfy sweet cravings while supplying muscle tissue with high-quality amino acids.
• Egg White Protein Single Serving Kit (Portion Mix): a product specifically created for a busy daily life, combining different flavors in individually dosed packets that are convenient to take along in a gym bag.

The egg white base in our protein powders provides a consistently high and complete concentration of amino acids, which is naturally lactose-free, thereby completely preventing digestive discomfort. To further accelerate nutrient breakdown and peptide absorption immediately after heightened physical exertion, the powders also contain the multi-enzyme complex DigeZyme®, which promotes optimal protein absorption. Such a biologically active synergy of ingredients provides the body with the necessary building blocks for muscle recovery and maintenance, significantly reducing recovery time between intense workouts.

Our promise to your health and well-being

Natural stevia has become the symbol of our "Clean Label" philosophy, proving that high athletic performance can go hand in hand with a completely natural sports nutrition composition. This transition from synthesized substances to a pure plant extract ensures that the body receives only valuable nutrients without any unwanted side effects or insulin spikes.
