Expert Insight

But what do the experts say?

From the report on the study conducted by the GI Foundation of South Africa based on the independent laboratory analysis done on NkosiBar by international laboratories Merieux NutriSciences
The study was conducted according to ISO 26642:2101 (Food products – Determination of the glycaemic index [GI] and recommendation for food classification), which is based on a Joint Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and The World Health Organization Expert Consultation Group on carbohydrates in human nutrition
FAO/WHO1998
The bar contains low GI carbohydrate, more protein than most bars in the market and some fat, including the good fats omega-3 and mono-unsaturated fatty acids, in more or less equal amounts, as well as 100% or more of the NRV (Nutrient Reference Values) of most of the vitamins for individuals 4 years and older. It also passes the NPC (Nutrient Profiling Calculator), which is an international benchmark for making health claims on labels.
The product can be used as a balanced meal replacement, as it contains carbohydrate,protein and fat in more or less equal ratios of 1:1:1, containing about 32% low GI carbs, 34% protein and 34% fat of the total energy of the bar.The bar is exceptionally high in fibre (4.9g per bar), which helps to slow down digestion of the carbohydrate. The product came to a low GI value and complied with the specifications for endorsement with the GI Foundation of South Africa's Often Foods (Low GI/green) logo.

Testimonials

Memorable moments with Nkosi

Nkosi bars are a balanced meal that our children need. The science of mixing food with micronutrients is unknown to our communities and households. We often cook for children to be full than rather than nourished - hence the high numbers of malnutrition in our communities. This is a meal that we would not have thought of or imagined. Being able to give a child a balanced meal in the form of a bar, not only cuts off many expenses such as cooking and the need for facilities and power etc, it also makes its storage easier for every centre.
Asekho Motabene Child Activist and community leader
Nkosi impacts hundreds of lives every day. It really fills you up and it gives our children enough strength to learn, play and do sport. Being able to connect with so many toddlers and seeing how this nutritional bar is not just a snack or a meal for them, but really a highlight of their day. We can't imagine our lives without it.
Madri Schuch Relief Worker
As a mother of a young daughter with a Sensory Eating Disorder, I know how malnutrition influences a child's day-to-day life! It is horrifying to see your child pale and weak, but no matter what I did, she refused to eat normal, healthy food. I heard about Nkosi Bar on a radio ad and made contact immediately! After super friendly help over the phone my box of bars were sent via courier. As chocolate was one of the, then, only five food sources my daughter ate, she loved the bars!! She became more active, more alert and was sleeping so much better!! Nkosi bars changed her life!! I can’t thank everyone involved enough for this brilliant initiative!!
Adele McSherryMother and Registered Nurse
I am a mom of three boys. Their nutrition and health is very important to me. Being able to give them Nkosi bars a few times a week between trips to school and sport, has set me at ease, knowing I am giving them fantastic quality nutrition, that they also love. It is an easy on-the-go sustaining meal in a bar, giving them enough energy and focus to get through their school day and extra curriculars. I have yet to find something that tastes so good and has the same nutritional punch as Nkosi.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers about Nkosi's nutritional value, ingredients, and sourcing.

For what age is Nkosi?

If you can chew an Nkosi bar, you can enjoy an Nkosi bar. We recommend not giving Nkosi to under 2 year olds, but it can be enjoyed by all other ages. The reason Nkosi was developed is to aid in the critical developmental stages of children. It has been lovingly engineered to provide the highest possible nutritional value while tasting great and being reasonably priced

The market-related retail value of an Nkosi Bar is around R30. As a non-profit our aim is to provide Nkosi’s at a price that allows us to provide nutritional safety nets for developing children. In line with this mission, boxes are made available at a reduced price, so concerned people and organisations can help more children. We ask that if you use Nkosi’s for yourself or your family (which we encourage) that you consider sponsoring a box into the Nkosi Program. It just so happens that our approach to give children the best we’re able to, has resulted in a high-quality product that is also desirable for professional athletes and mothers trying to increase the nutritional intake of their children. The Nkosi Program is how we provide support to children who are under nutritional pressure.

The Nkosi Program supports children all over the country every school day with Nkosi Bars and other food to provide nutritional safety nets for them. We partner with some of the leading companies in SA to make a real impact on the children in the area of their operations.

There are many ways in which you can be part of helping our children! You can help by spreading the word about Nkosi Bars.

  1. You can buy a box and hand them out to help you tell our story or;
  2. give them to vulnerable people in your area. Many people like to keep a box in the car and hand them out at traffic lights, choosing to rather give a fully balanced meal than money to people asking for help.
  3. You can talk to your school tuck shop and ask them to make Nkosi Bars available to improve the healthier options available to children looking for a tasty snack.
  4. Your business or your place of work can become part of sponsoring a Preschool in need of nutritional support, we have a very long list of schools and centres that would be so thankful for this critical help. Wellspring is able to issue Section 18a tax certificates and we have an array of ways to create value for Corporates and smaller businesses. Please reach out to us at info@wellspring.africa
