Description: MightyFunBars aims to develop a new class of functional snack bars formulated with bioactive-rich ingredients and alternative nutritional resources to support the physiological and metabolic needs of adults experiencing menopause and andropause. By integrating nutritional insights, plant-based adaptogens, phytoestrogens, and hormone-supportive micronutrients, the project addresses sex-specific challenges such as bone health, cognitive resilience, cardiovascular risk, and mood regulation. The project combines cutting-edge food science with sustainable ingredient sourcing to create targeted, personalised, and evidence-based functional foods for midlife health.
