ShopWell is a free mobile app that helps people learn about their food.
We let the food do the talking, allowing consumers to understand what is in the food they are buying at the grocery store, and help offer personalized food recommendations based on each consumers lifestyle.
The handy and easy app helps over 2.5 Million healthy families shop smarter at the grocery store. App users can manage food allergies, food related conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and gluten intolerance.
Consumers download the free app, enter any food allergies, avoidances and requirements each family member and ShopWell creates a personalized app experience to meet the family’s grocery needs. Shoppers scan barcodes on food items at the grocer to find out if the items are a good match for their family’s lifestyle.
The app imports purchased items from local and e-commerce retailers and evaluates the data for positive and negative food choice purchases. A robust recommendation engine offers alternatives that help meet the family’s food goals.
ShopWell is consistently ranked as one of the top Health & Fitness apps, ShopWell was created by Registered Dietitians, and is a community partner of the USDA.
ShopWell is available online at www.shopwell.com and for free on the iPhone from the App Store or Android from the Google Play store.

Core competencies
Prolupin facilitates the whole value adding chain starting from planting lupines towards the process technologies and further product innovations.
Specific knowledge on the raw material
One of our unique competences is our knowledge on the raw material. We may optimally process regional lupines mainly due to our knowledge on ingredients and specific properties of various lupine seed varieties. However, we are focused on Sweet Blue Lupines.
Patents on the process technology
The food industry uses in limited amounts mainly flour or concentrates from lupines. However, the isolates we are producing are more reach in proteins. They contain more than 90 per cent of proteins in dry matter. Lupine Protein Isolates (LPI) provide compared to flours very specific technological, functional and material properties such as emulsion capacity, gel and foam creation and solubility. These properties may shift structure, texture or sensory properties in food. Lupine Protein Isolates (LPI) also may completely substitute milk, meat or egg in foodstuff. One may adapt or modify Lupine Protein Isolates for their use in bakery, meat and sausage, pasta or fine food goods.
Product innovations
Our core competence is to deliver various food ingredients and concepts according to the demands of our clients. Our research and development team is ready to innovate continuously to develop and adapt our products to meet the specific needs of our costumers.
MADE WITH LUVE
Our own products under our umbrella brand MADE WITH LUVE are plant-based, vegan, free from GMO, Soy, Lactose, Cholesterol and Gluten* (*except pasta). Contains unique Lupine Protein Isolates (LPI) based on a patent-registered process and technology, developed at Fraunhofer IVV, Freising.

Founded in 2012, Novihum Technologies developed a revolutionary stable humus concentrate that provides an organic reservoir like those at the heart of the best soils.
Our product NOVIHUM® is an innovative manufactured stable humus concentrate that is indistinguishable from the high-grade organic matter reservoir found in very productive natural soils. Over twenty years of R&D show immediate and long-term benefits when it‘s applied to soils low in organic matter, including:
• Higher crop yields, quality, and resilience to environmental stress
• Enhanced plant root development and water-use-efficiency
• Higher cation exchange capacity and soil carbon level in the root zone
• Accelerated plant growth and maturation
NOVIHUM® is free from bacteria, fungi, salts, odors, and pollutants. It is suitable for use in diverse climates for a wide range of annual and permanent crops.
Product Origin
Novihum Technologies has developed a chemical process that accelerates nature’s work to produce top-quality humus in hours, using lignite (brown or soft coal) as a raw material. When lignite is formed from decomposing plant material it undergoes chemical and biological processes that are very similar to those by which humus is formed. That makes it a rich source of the molecular building blocks of stable humus. However, over millions of years underground it loses critical elements – most especially nitrogen – and becomes less useful for plants. That is where Novihum Technologies steps in, with a new patented process that restores lignite’s lost chemistry, transforming it into a concentrated carbon-rich granulate that is indistinguishable from the organic matter reservoirs found in nature’s best soils.
