OSM All-Terrain Nutrition FAQ

OSM All-Terrain Nutrition has been recognised and patented as a world-first in nutritional balance.

Therefore, each serve contains a balance of macronutrients, vitamins and minerals.

Is OSM All-Terrain Nutrition better than the new Everyday Nutrition range?
They are both nutritionally balanced products and complement each other. You can choose which one best suits your needs, depending what you are up to. OSM Everyday Nutrition is more for everyday snacking. It has high protein, high fibre and less sugar, with seven vitamins and three minerals. OSM All-Terrain Nutrition is balanced across all key macronutrients and has 10 vitamins and six minerals. It can also be used as a meal replacement, so offers the ultimate in smart sustenance to fuel all your busy life, from multisport to tramping and camping.

Is OSM All-Terrain Nutrition suitable for children?
The range would be suitable for children over three as part of a varied diet. The small All-Terrain Nutrition Bites are a great size for lunchboxes, or for an occasional snack. We do not recommend for children under three as they have different nutritional needs to older children and adults.

Is OSM All-Terrain Nutrition a meal replacement product?
Yes, OSM is a formulated meal replacement. Two Bars or four Bites gives you 1/3 of your daily intake and recommended dietary intake of energy, protein, carbohydrates, fats, fibre, 10 vitamins and 6 minerals. As it provides nutritional balance in every serve, OSM ATN is great for snacking.

It is important to maintain a healthy, varied and balanced diet so it should not to be used as a total diet replacement. 

It appears to be high in sugar and fat, why is that?
The patented recipe is designed to deliver an equal percentage of the daily intake values and recommended dietary intake for energy, protein, carbohydrates, fats and fibre, 10 vitamins and 6 minerals.
