Hydrolyzed NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate Protein For EveryBODY Hydrolyzed NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate is not a dairy or vegan-branded protein ingredient, though it happens to be both dairy and vegan-friendly. NiHPRO™ guarantees animal— and dairy-free proteins and offers a protein with almost identical taste, amino acid score, and protein purity to dairy proteins, making it the first Protein For EveryBODY. NiHPRO™ is a performance-built branded protein ingredient with nearly equal EAAs, Leucine, to that of dairy-based whey protein, 1:1 PDCAAS. NiHPRO™ has forged the world’s first all-new “3rd Category Of Protein”, Protein For EveryBODY. “NiHPRO™is is a high-performance, great-tasting zero-allergen protein available globally to manufacturers and protein brands as a branded ingredient protein option.” Forged By Nature & Backed by Science Through many years of research and development in protein purification technology with a global team of experts, the Molecular Protein Infusion (MPi™), NiHPRO™ has set the pinnacle in potency, premium quality, and a new protein category surpassing any other protein that is also allergen-free without sacrificing quality, protein purity, amino acid score, and taste. Wet Blend Re-Purified Protein The MPi™ process involves re-engineering non-dairy proteins in a wet-blend process using natural processing techniques to enhance their purity and functionality. MPi™ technology allows NiHPRO™ to achieve a protein content above 86%, making it comparable to high-quality dairy proteins while maintaining a superior taste and texture. Hydrolyzed Protein Part of the MPi™ process in making NiHPRO™ uses key enzymes that help pre-digest the proteins in a protein hydrolyzation method to ensure a higher digestibility, solubility, and purity.  This makes for the world’s first non-dairy high-performance and high digestibility protein that is hydrolyzed and premium quality: Hydrolyzed NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate. One Protein Particle & Mesh Size All raw materials, including proteins and essential amino acids (EAAs), are added into the wet blend at a precise step.  Having these in a “wet” process, together with food-grade protease, is used to “hydrolyze” the proteins to  “infuse” all into one protein particle before spray-drying.   This helps ensure zero separation of powders in transportation, no white specks, one mesh size and color, higher solubility of all materials, and superior taste and texture.  “Great Tasting & Performance Protein WITHOUT The Bloat” The NiHTEK® Company Hydrolyzed NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate is made in a state-of-the-art facility according to HACCP and BRC guidelines, resulting in Planet Earth’s most advanced, complete, non-allergenic protein! NiHPRO™ is also both Kosher and Halal certified. NiHTEK® is meticulous about science and third-party research to ensure the safety and efficacy of all ingredients. All NiHTEK branded ingredients are “Forged By Nature, But also Backed By Science.”  NiHTEK® has over 100 years of experience; customers are assured of a premium product to achieve their goals. Every product batch undergoes strict internal and third-party lab analysis for purity and potency with a targeted level in every batch/lot.  Where To Find NiHPRO™ We have been inundated with inquiries about where to purchase NiHPRO™. As NiHPRO™ is a branded ingredient, not a finished product, it will be used in many top brands worldwide by Q4 2024 in most countries and regions. Brands worldwide have begun formulating with NiHPRO™ as their new protein of choice in their existing brand.   United States Canada Australia / New Zealand Germany Brazil South Africa Many brand owners are very excited to be launching this entirely new category of protein, offering a protein for the first time to satisfy the tastes and needs of consumers: Allergic to dairy proteins Lactose intolerance Whey protein’s amino acids, tastes, and mouthfeel are almost identical for those who want a protein that offers high-quality performance. Suffer from bloat or indigestion when drinking whey proteins Vegan friendly “World’s First Protein for EveryBODY” With many more brands also working on formulations, we are looking at Q1 and Q2 2025 launches.

NiHTEK, an innovator in nutritional science, has made significant strides with its advanced product, the Hydrolyzed NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate (HNPi). This groundbreaking development is poised to redefine the protein industry, setting new benchmarks for quality, environmental responsibility, and consumer satisfaction. Redefining Protein Purity and Taste Hydrolyzed NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate is not a dairy or vegan-branded protein but is both dairy—and vegan-friendly. It uses non-animal sources of protein that are highly purified to taste and mix and have amino acids similar to whey protein. What distinguishes NiHPRO™ from other protein isolates is its advanced natural processing and protein purification technology, which ensures that the protein retains its purity and offers a taste remarkably similar to dairy products—minus the allergens and lactose. With an impressive 86% protein purity, NiHPRO™ stands out as a superior alternative to traditional dairy-based proteins and other plant-based options. This high level of purity and its complete amino acid profile make it ideal for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and health-conscious individuals. Leveraging Cutting-Edge Technology: Molecular Protein Infusion (MPi™) A key aspect of NiHPRO™’s success is NiHTEK’s proprietary Molecular Protein Infusion (MPi™) purification and processing protein technology. This innovative process re-engineers non-animal sourced proteins, producing a product that mirrors dairy proteins’ nutritional content and taste. The MPi™ technology enhances the protein’s bioavailability and digestibility, essential for muscle recovery and overall health. NiHPRO™ is a performance protein for athletes with a high DIAAS and PDCAAS score similar to whey protein isolate (WPI). This natural and chemical-free approach improves the protein’s functional properties and aligns with NiHTEK’s commitment to environmental responsibility. By focusing on natural fermentation processes and avoiding chemical treatments, NiHTEK ensures that NiHPRO™ is a cleaner and healthier protein choice for consumers. Unmatched Nutritional Benefits Hydrolyzed NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate offers significant nutritional advantages. Its high leucine content is particularly noteworthy, given leucine’s critical role in muscle protein synthesis and growth. Furthermore, NiHPRO™ provides a balanced profile of essential amino acids (EAA), comparable to whey protein and superior to many other plant-based proteins. The protein’s high Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) highlights its superior quality. The DIAAS measures the protein’s amino acid composition and digestibility, and a high score indicates a highly effective protein source for enhancing muscle mass and overall health. An official 3rd party independent research study based on NiHPRO’s official DIAAS score will be published in 2024. A Commitment to Environmental Responsibility NiHPRO™ is more than just a high-quality protein source; it’s also an environmentally responsible one. Made entirely from low-carbon footprint protein ingredients, NiHPRO™ addresses the growing consumer demand for products that are mindful of their environmental impact and contain zero allergens. This focus on environmental responsibility is crucial to NiHTEK’s mission to create nutritionally superior and eco-friendly protein solutions. Moreover, NiHPRO™’s versatility is another significant advantage. It can be seamlessly incorporated into various products, including protein powders, beverages, snacks, and dairy-free alternatives. It is an appealing ingredient for manufacturers aiming to meet diverse consumer preferences and dietary requirements. Pioneering a New Era in Protein Innovation Hydrolyzed NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate by NiHTEK represents a paradigm shift in the protein industry.
