FAQs

Is the coconut flavour real or does it taste artificial?

It's real. The coconut flavour comes from actual shredded coconut in the bar, not an extract or flavouring. More like fresh coconut barfi rather than artificial piña colada. Light, natural, and slightly chewy.

I'm slightly lactose intolerant. Can I eat this bar?

The bar uses both Whey Protein Isolate and Fermented Pea Protein. Whey Protein Isolate is heavily filtered to remove most of the lactose, making it more tolerable than regular whey for people with mild sensitivity. If you have a full dairy intolerance or are vegan, the Plant Based bar is the better choice.

When is the best time to eat this bar?

It works well as a 4pm snack when you need something real to get through the rest of the day. It's also a solid post-workout option, with 12g protein and 10g fibre to keep you full and support recovery without giving you a sugar crash.

What does Tapioca Fiber do, and why is it in here?

Tapioca Fiber is a prebiotic soluble fiber that feeds the good bacteria in your gut. It's one of the primary contributors to the 10g of fiber per bar and gives the bar its satisfying, slightly chewy texture. Gentle on the stomach, no bloating.

I don't usually like coconut in sweets. Will this bar still work for me?

If your issue is with overpowering or artificial coconut, you may be pleasantly surprised. The shredded coconut here adds texture and a mild natural sweetness rather than dominating the flavour. The almonds and peanut butter are actually the loudest notes, with coconut sitting quietly in the background.

What makes this bar different from other nutrition bars?

Well, it’s much more than just a protein bar. It gives you 25% of your daily requirement of protein, fiber, calcium and vitamin D3. As a woman, it looks after your muscle strength, bone strength, metabolism & hormonal balance.

Why is there oily shine on the surface of the bars?

Source of oil is 100% Peanut Butter and it is part of the product design. We do not use any artificial emulsifiers and stabilizers to bind the oil. Our bars are made from wholesome ingredients and minimally processed, hence some free oil on the surface. Oil from Peanuts is heart healthy composed mostly of unsaturated fats and rich in fat soluble Vitamin E.

Is this bar vegetarian?

All flavours are vegetarian, except the Collagen bar which has a marine-sourced high-grade collagen.

When should I eat the bar?

4DU bars are perfect for a 4pm evening snack or a post-workout protein-heavy snack. Carry the minis when you travel. You can also eat a bar if you miss breakfast, although we never recommend this.

How many calories in each bar?

Most of the calories in our bars come from the high almond content – a source of good fats & dense nutrition. Depending on the flavour, the calories range from 217 to 230 per bar.

Can Men eat these?

Technically, yes, and they may find it a more rounded nutrition profile than the other brands they eat right now. But 4DU’s science-backed nutrition profile has been designed keeping women’s bodies, hormonal cycles and unique metabolic needs in mind.
