With 80% protein, less than 3% carbohydrates, and zero sugars or allergens, NiHPRO®Puffs offer unmatched nutrition and versatility. Now chosen by leading global brands as the “Intel-Inside” protein for functional snacking, it combines taste, texture, and performance like never before.
3rd Party Research Studies
At NiHTEK®, transparency isn’t a claim it’s our foundation. Every innovation is forged by nature and backed by science, supported through independent third-party research and validation. We believe actual progress in nutrition comes from honesty, evidence, and a relentless commitment to proving performance through real data.
Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS)
Our Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) study confirms the superior protein quality of NiHPRO®, demonstrating a score of 1.16, even exceeding the gold standard of whey. Conducted through independent third-party research, the results validate NiHTEK® commitment to developing scientifically proven, high-performance protein ingredients that deliver real nutritional value.
About DIAAS
DIAAS is a superior measure of protein quality that evaluates amino acid digestibility at the ileum the actual site of absorption unlike PDCAAS, which uses fecal digestibility. It measures each essential amino acid separately, factors in age-specific needs, and allows scores above 1 for greater accuracy. By accounting for anti-nutritional effects, DIAAS provides a more precise and biologically relevant assessment for diet formulation and labeling.
FODMAP Friendly Certification
NiHPRO® is officially FODMAP Friendly Certified, confirming it is gentle on digestion and suitable for individual’s sensitive to fermentable carbohydrates. This certification ensures our protein delivers comfort without bloating or gastrointestinal stress backed by independent laboratory testing. As the global standard for gut-friendly nutrition, FODMAP Friendly Certification reinforces NiHTEK® commitment to transparency, science, and inclusivity in every ingredient we create.
Allergen, Sugar & Lactose Free
NiHPRO® is entirely free from all 24 major allergens, including dairy, soy, gluten, nuts, and wheat making it safe and inclusive for every body. It also contains zero sugars and is 100% lactose-free, delivering clean, high-performance protein without compromise. This purity ensures exceptional digestibility, versatility, and peace of mind for both formulators and consumers.

The Science & Nutrition Of NiHPRO® Scientific & Nutritional Superiority
NiHPRO® stands at the forefront of protein innovation, delivering exceptional nutritional performance and digestibility. With a DIAAS of 1.16, equal Leucine content to whey proteins, and 4 times more L-arginine than dairy proteins, it supports superior muscle synthesis, circulation, and recovery. Fully pre-digested through advanced hydrolysis, NiHPRO® ensures rapid absorption without bloating or discomfort. Backed by science, NiHTEK® has achieved what was once thought impossible transforming a non-dairy protein to replicate the smooth, creamy taste and texture of dairy, with most consumers unable to tell the difference once it is formulated and flavored.
Amino Acid Power & Protein Quality
NiHPRO® delivers a clinically validated amino acid profile that rivals and surpasses traditional proteins. It provides Leucine levels equivalent to whey, ensuring optimal muscle protein synthesis, while offering 4× more L-Arginine to enhance nitric oxide production, circulation, and recovery. Enriched with all Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) for complete protein support, NiHPRO® achieves a DIAAS of 1.16, confirming superior digestibility and true biological value. This unique balance of precision hydrolysis and amino acid density makes NiHPRO® one of the most effective and advanced proteins ever developed.
Hydrolyzed for Pre-Digestion & Superior Absorption
NiHPRO® undergoes advanced hydrolysis, breaking protein chains into smaller peptides for faster, more efficient absorption. This pre-digested structure reduces digestive stress, eliminates bloating, and delivers amino acids rapidly to muscle tissue. The result is a clean, smooth, and high-performance protein experience that’s gentle on the gut yet powerful in results.
Taste Innovation Creating the Third Category of Protein
NiHPRO® redefines what non-dairy protein can taste like. Through NiHTEK® proprietary technologies, we’ve transformed the typical bitterness, aroma, and gritty texture found in standard plant or non-dairy proteins into a smooth, creamy, and neutral sensory experience. While not identical to whey, NiHPRO® stands apart as something entirely new clean, light, and universally enjoyable. This breakthrough positions NiHPRO® as the foundation of a third category of protein: one that delivers the taste and functionality consumers love, without the allergens or digestive drawbacks of dairy or plant proteins.
Bloat-Free Protein for Gut and Skin Health
NiHPRO® is designed to be completely bloat-free, supporting effortless digestion and overall gut comfort. Its pre-digested, hydrolysed structure allows rapid absorption without the heaviness or discomfort often caused by whey or plant proteins. By promoting better gut balance and reducing digestive stress, NiHPRO® helps support a healthier microbiome key to improved nutrient uptake, immune resilience, and even clearer, healthier skin. It’s more than protein; it’s total-body nourishment from the inside out.
