F.A.Q
Why use insect proteins in your CrunchiX bars ?
Insect proteins are an exceptional source of nutrients. They are rich in complete proteins, contain all the essential amino acids, and are an excellent source of iron and vitamin B12, often lacking in conventional diets. What’s more, insect farming is incredibly sustainable: it uses less water and space, and produces far fewer greenhouse gases than conventional farming.
Can CrunchiX bars help with iron deficiency ?
Yes, our bars are particularly suitable for people suffering from iron deficiency. They contain a significant amount of bioavailable iron, which means your body absorbs it efficiently. Combined with the vitamin B12 present in our bars, iron promotes better energy, reduces fatigue and supports optimal health.
How much iron is in each CrunchiX bar ?
Each CrunchiX bar contains around 3 mg of iron, which represents a significant proportion of daily iron requirements, especially for people with increased needs, such as women, athletes and vegetarians.
Are CrunchiX bars suitable for special diets (gluten-free, lactose-free, etc.)?
Yes, our bars are gluten-free, lactose-free and contain no major allergens such as dairy products or soy. We strive to offer products suitable for a variety of diets while guaranteeing high nutritional quality.
Are CrunchiX bars suitable for children and pregnant women ?
CrunchiX bars are safe for most adults and children, but we always recommend consulting a healthcare professional, especially for pregnant or breastfeeding women, to ensure that the product is suitable for their specific needs.
Do the bars have a strong insect taste ?
Not at all! Our bars have been carefully developed to offer a pleasant, balanced taste. They are available in several gourmet flavors, such as dark chocolate, coco-almond, or red fruit, with no pronounced insect-related aftertaste.
How are insect proteins sustainably produced ?
The insects used in our bars are raised on specialized farms under controlled, sustainable conditions. Their production requires 80% less water, 90% less land and generates less than 1% of greenhouse gas emissions compared to cattle farming.
Can I eat CrunchiX if I'm allergic to shellfish ?
People allergic to shellfish should be cautious, as insects belong to the same family as shellfish and can potentially trigger a similar allergic reaction. Always consult a doctor if in doubt.
Where can I buy CrunchiX bars ?
You can buy our bars directly from our website or from selected partner retailers. See our Where to buy page for stores near you.
Does CrunchiX offer subscriptions or special offers ?
Yes, we offer a subscription program that allows you to receive your favorite bars every month at a special rate, with exclusive savings. We also regularly launch special offers for members of our community.
Why is iron so important to health ?
Iron is essential for the production of hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Iron deficiency can lead to fatigue, shortness of breath, headaches and poor concentration. Our CrunchiX bars help maintain optimal iron levels thanks to a natural, bioavailable source.
How do CrunchiX bars compare with other iron supplements ?
Unlike conventional supplements, CrunchiX bars offer a natural solution, with no unpleasant side effects such as stomach upset or constipation. They also combine protein, iron and vitamin B12 in a convenient, tasty format.
How many bars can I consume per day ?
You can have up to 2 bars a day, depending on your nutritional needs. Each bar provides a moderate amount of iron, ideal for supplementing your daily diet without exceeding recommendations. Always consult a healthcare professional if you have specific needs.
How long does it take to feel the benefits on iron levels ?
Effects vary from person to person. In general, improved energy levels and reduced fatigue can be felt after a few weeks of regular consumption, especially if the bar is incorporated into a balanced diet.
Are CrunchiX bars suitable for vegetarians ?
Yes, our bars are suitable for vegetarians, although they contain insect proteins. They are ideal for those looking for an alternative, sustainable source of protein and iron. However, they are not suitable for vegans.
What is the ecological impact of CrunchiX bars compared to conventional protein bars ?
CrunchiX bars have a much smaller ecological footprint than meat or dairy-based protein bars. Insect farming uses 90% less water, 70% less animal feed, and produces 99% less greenhouse gases. By choosing CrunchiX, you’re playing an active part in the fight against climate change.
Are CrunchiX bars high in sugar ?
No, our bars are formulated with a minimum of added sugars. We use natural ingredients to sweeten our products, such as fruit or agave syrup, to provide long-lasting energy without causing blood sugar spikes.
Can I take CrunchiX bars with me on sports or outdoor activities ?
Absolutely! CrunchiX bars are perfect for athletes, hikers and adventurers. They’re light, easy to carry, and provide long-lasting energy thanks to their blend of protein, iron and natural carbohydrates.
Why choose CrunchiX over conventional animal proteins ?
