Better care for those you care for

Yes, Sperri contains all plant ingredients and is 100% vegan. Sperri uses hard-to-find plant-based forms of Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) and Omega-3 (Algal Oil) to provide all essential nutritions.

We have chosen to utilize a combination of pea and hemp protein in Sperri due to their individual completeness as proteins, containing all 9 essential amino acids. Moreover, hemp protein offers highly beneficial nutritional properties for human health, while the sensory qualities of pea protein contribute to an excellent blend of both health and taste. The combination of hemp and pea proteins also offers complementary advantages to ensure the protein in Sperri is rich in all 9 essential amino acids. It is worth noting that Sperri is the sole product in the Canadian meal replacement market that incorporates hemp protein.

We use a combination of Maple Syrup and Tapioca Syrup to sweeten our products. Many currently available meal replacements use highly processed sugars, artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols, and we feel strongly about using natural ingredients in Sperri. These natural sweeteners also provide some additional vitamins and minerals to add to Sperri’s nutrition composition.

Sperri products are Certified Organic and are therefore held to a higher standard and do not contain any MSG, BHA, propylene glycol, or GMOs. We carefully source our natural flavors based on quality and flavor. They are all vetted through an approval process that allows them to be used in organic products.

There is no caffeine in Sperri products.

As a Canadian company, we try to source Canadian ingredients where possible. Our hemp protein powder, hemp oil, maple syrup and DHA-algal oil are all Canadian grown ingredients. Additionally, the DHA-algal oil in Sperri is sourced from algae grown off the coast of Nova Scotia- we love local! Our pea protein in Sperri is grown and harvested from the United States and Canada and is one of the highest quality pea proteins on the market. This pea protein is an isolate, not a concentrate, which provides a higher protein content with lower levels of potential allergens or irritants.

Sperri is suitable for anyone over the age of 2. Sperri is suitable as the sole replacement for all meals in those over the age of 18. Anyone under the age of 18 (but above the age of 2) can consume Sperri as a meal, however, it is not fully suitable as a replacement for all meals, as the nutrition requirements for children are different than adults.

Sperri is suitable for vegetarians, vegans, or people with a sensitivity or allergy to a common allergen (eg. milk, soy, gluten, tree nuts, etc.). We use 100% vegan plant products and contain no common allergens.

Sperri has been specifically developed to address gastrointestinal issues, particularly Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). We have taken great care to exclude any ingredients that may be detrimental to individuals with compromised GI tracts, such as milk products, carrageenan, sugar alcohols, high fructose corn syrup, and high fiber ingredients. We have a significant number of satisfied consumers with IBD and IBS who have reported positive experiences with Sperri. Additionally, the pea protein used in Sperri is of the highest quality and is an isolate, making it more digestible and better tolerated in those with digestive complications than protein concentrates.

Our current line of Sperri offers different fiber options to accommodate the various phases of IBD. Both our Strawberry and Vanilla Maple flavors contain 1g of fiber per serving, making them suitable meal options during the flare-up phase. On the other hand, our Chocolate Sperri contains 3g of fiber per serving (due to the addition of cocoa powder), making it more appropriate for consumption during the remission phase. 

Additionally, Sperri is low FODMAP at 150mL to meet the needs of those with IBS. We have also refrained from using sugar alcohols, lactose, and gluten in our products.

Sperri is indeed a suitable option for oncology patients, and we have a significant number of oncology patients who rely on Sperri. The organic and plant-based nature of Sperri makes it particularly appealing to oncology patients. Those who experience aversion to sweet foods during or after chemotherapy often prefer Sperri because it has a mild flavor and is not as sweet as other meal replacements available on the market. Additionally, Sperri is significantly lower in sugar content, using about half as much sugar as leading meal replacements.

Sperri is a suitable option for tubefeeding as it can be used as a sole-source of nutrition as it meets the nutritional requirements of Canada’s ‘Formulated Liquid Diet’ Regulations. Dietitians across the country have successfully utilized Sperri for tubefeeding to meet the nutritional requirements of their patients. Based on the feedback we have received from dietitians, diluting the formula can help prevent clogging due to its thicker viscosity. If you are a dietitian who has experience using Sperri for tubefeeding we would love to hear from you at sales@sperri.ca

Sperri can be heated in baked goods, in coffee, or if preferred warm and still maintain its nutritional value. When Sperri is manufactured it is heated and tested afterwards and it still holds its nutritional value.

Freezing the remaining portion will not compromise its nutritional value, although we have not conducted specific tests in this regard. For short periods of freezing, the nutritional value should remain unchanged.
