The key to evaluating NiHPRO™ is understanding the story behind the innovation and the Molecular Protein Infusion (MPi™) protein purification and manufacturing technology.  The research and advancements in protein purification technology exclusive to NiHTEK® make NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate a rival to whey protein isolate (WPI) possible. NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate is the world’s first non-dairy “whey” with equal attributes in taste and protein content to whey protein isolate.  It is also a performance-built protein with equal levels of L-Leucine per serving, like whey. Unlike whey protein, however, NiHPRO™ is 100% allergen, lactose, sugar, and GMO-free. NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate is proudly forged by nature but backed by science. NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate: Molecular Protein Infusion (MPi™) Advanced Protein Purification Technology by NiHTEK®: Increases Protein Purity Creates a Product with Neutral Flavour & Odour Improves Texture & Mouthfeel Decreases Viscosity, Making the Product Light & Smooth Increases Solubility & Stability Increases Digestability & DIAAS Score Infuses All Raw Proteins Into One Protein Particle All Within Wet Blend Re-Engineered Manufacturing Process The MPi™ purification technology uses conventional manufacturing methods in a precise and optimal sequence to reach a high purity and protein performance level. The multi-patented method uses no chemicals, is gentle to the protein, and ensures zero protein denaturing, making it a non-novel food. MPi™ Protein Purification Setting New Standards for Protein Over four years of research have been conducted on this technology, not including many decades of the global collective team of experts, innovators, and Ph.D. experience.  There is no alternative protein on the market today that is innovative or versatile that can: Taste: When flavored into a formulation finished product, it tastes identical to whey protein isolate (WPI) to most consumers. Protein: It has similar protein and amino acid properties Allergen: The only protein equal in nutrition and taste to whey – but is allergen-free. Price: Is more stable in price than whey. NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate has been significantly purified, removing the original alternative protein sources’ unfavorable tastes, smells, and textures. The isolation, purification, and filtration details in the alternative protein world have never come close to the NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate MPi™ processing and purification technology. The MPi™ patented protein processing & purification technology is natural and chemical-free. It uses conventional gentle processing methods to ensure that the proteins and amino acids are in their original form with no denaturing occurring. MPi™ technology processing, though remarkable, does not make NiHPRO™ a novel food ingredient or “grass” in US terminology.  The purification processes work with conventional, non-chemical, manufacturing protein technology to purify the proteins and improve the sensory and solubility profiles.   The MPi™ technology runs a “wet blend” manufacturing and purification process multiple times to ensure maximum purity, digestibility, and sensory protein profiles. What To Expect with NiHPRO™ Protein High Purity NiHPRO™: Improves the purity of the protein with a guarantee of always being at or above 85% on a dry matter basis; however, in most batches, it usually falls between 87% and 88.2%. Non-GMO Raw Proteins: For the US version (NPi85M), we use raw base rice, mung bean, rice protein, and four key EAAs (less than 5%). For the International (all countries outside of the US) NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate (NPi85), we use only pea rice and three EAAs. 3rdCategory of Protein: With the purification and MPi™ processing technology, the protein no longer resembles the original plant-based protein sources in texture, taste, solubility, and digestibility. It is very neutral and tasteless, with very low viscosity and zero sandiness—making it easily flavored into a protein with any flavor and taste identical to that of a flavored finished Whey Protein Isolate (WPI).   High Purity & Minimal Fillers in Flavored Versions: NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate is not identical to WPI in its raw form; however, it is so neutral in taste, smell, and texture viscosity and is highly soluble, making it the only alternative protein that can be formulated to taste like WPI into a finished and flavored product. Unlike other alternative proteins, NiHPRO™ requires minimal flavoring agents and fillers, ensuring the highest protein purity delivered to consumers. The finished product protein purity, when formulated with NiHPRO™ protein, is often similar to that in a WPI protein – between 72 – 80% purity, depending on the flavored recipe. A New Age of Protein Some people may need to remember what whey protein was before the 1990s. It didn’t solubilize, you needed an electric blender to mix it, it tasted terrible, and gave everyone flatulence all day long – whey used to suck – and most people have forgotten this.   Whey was a by-product and wastewater from cheese manufacturing. However, it was not in a form that most consumers would tolerate until investment and innovation were made in the purification process. To date, all other commodity-based, cheap alternatives and plant-based proteins are like whey with cheese, and plant proteins are a by-product of starch manufacturing. Being a by-product leaves little focus or technology dedicated to the protein’s purification, sensory, purity, and improvement. NiHPRO™ was the first alternative protein, much like whey protein, in the 1990s. It has been innovated, purified, and improved with key natural processing technologies to match the taste and texture of whey and the amino profile.   NiHPRO™ Is a Complimentary Option for Whey Protein Whey protein is an excellent protein source. At NiHTEK™, we are big fans of its quality and sensory profiles, but it’s not perfect. Many millions of people around the world are allergic to dairy, and many millions more are lactose intolerant. NiHPRO is 100% allergen, lactose, and GMO-free but has a near identical amino acid complex taste (when formulated into a finished product), so it is a complimentary option to whey protein brands and consumers. Dairy and fans of whey protein can use NiHPRO™ Protein as their protein source and get the same quality and taste as those allergic to dairy. NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate is the world’s first non-dairy “whey” 100% allergen, lactose, and GMO-free. It is a performance-built protein aimed at satisfying discerning consumers’ tastes, nutrition, and allergen

Athletic performance relies heavily on proper nutrition, and protein plays a central role in supporting muscle growth, recovery, and overall performance. Consuming high-quality protein, such as NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate, can significantly enhance an athlete’s ability to train effectively and recover quickly. In this blog, we will explore the benefits of high-quality protein for athletes and why NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate is an excellent choice for those seeking to optimize their performance.

The Vision Behind NiHPRO™ At the heart of NiHTEK’s innovation is the visionary leadership of President and Co-Founder Drew Campbell and the global NiHTEK® team of leaders in the sports nutrition and protein space. The team’s relentless drive to improve the world goes beyond mere profitability. This profound purpose and unwavering intent breathe life into NiHTEK’s products, creating an unstoppable and authentically genuine mission and passion. What NiHPRO™ Is (and What It Is Not) NiHPRO™ is the pinnacle of innovation in the protein industry, resulting from four years of dedicated research and development (R&D) backed by many decades of experience in the sports nutrition and protein space. The NiHTEK™ team of PhDs and experts has not created a protein that is “a little better than other alternative proteins.” Instead, we have developed the world’s most unique, premium allergen—, lactose—, and GMO-free protein, aimed at providing a high-quality alternative equal to that of whey protein in sensory and nutrition profiles. The Magic of Molecular Protein Infusion (MPi) The Molecular Protein Infusion (MPi™) process is critical to NiHPRO™’s unique properties. This method neutralizes the taste, enhances solubility, and significantly improves digestibility. NiHPRO™ ensures superior protein uptake, resulting in Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) and Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) comparable to whey protein and far exceeding those of all other alternative proteins to date. Third-party research, expected later this year, will further substantiate these claims. The MPi™ technology processing, though remarkable, does not make NiHPRO™ a novel food ingredient or “grass” in US terminology.  The processes work with conventional, non-chemical, and conventional manufacturing protein technology to purify the proteins and improve the sensory and solubility profiles. The Power of EAAs Essential Amino Acids in NiHPRO™ are 100% digestible, enhancing the protein’s quality and effectiveness. Unlike conventional alternative proteins, the EAAs in NiHPRO™ are seamlessly infused into the formula, creating a pure, single-protein particle without any visible specks. This infusion technology ensures that NiHPRO™ excels in all sensory aspects—taste, smell, texture, and viscosity—while achieving high PDCAAS and amino scores and superior protein purity. Bridging the Divide In a world often divided by dietary preferences and requirements, NiHTEK champions unity and togetherness. Whether catering to the extreme left (vegan) or the extreme right (dairy and meat), NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate embodies the essence of inclusivity. This revolutionary protein is designed to meet all consumers’ quality, nutrition, and taste demands, regardless of their protein needs or allergy concerns. The world’s first PROTEIN FOR EVERYONE! The World’s First Dairy-Free “Whey” Protein NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate is the world’s first dairy-free “whey” protein, free from lactose, allergens, and GMOs. This innovative protein is not just a product; it’s a solution for protein and wellness brands seeking an alternative protein source. Its introduction marks a significant milestone in the sports nutrition industry, providing a versatile option that maintains the desired taste, texture, and mouthfeel of traditional whey protein. Far Beyond Traditional Alternative Proteins Comparing NiHPRO™ to standard commodity proteins is like comparing chalk to cheese. Conventional dry blends of plant materials cannot match NiHPRO™’s advanced formulation and sensory qualities. Expecting NiHPRO™ to be priced similarly to plant or alternative protein disregards the significant technological advancements and superior performance it offers. It’s akin to comparing a twenty-year-old, worn-out Toyota petrol-powered car to a brand-new Tesla—both are cars, but the technology and quality differ vastly. Competitive and Pure Despite its groundbreaking nature, NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate is competitively priced with Whey Protein Isolate (WPI), offering protein purity and an amino acid score comparable to WPI. It bridges the gap between Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) and WPI, making it an attractive option for brands focused on delivering high-quality, nutritious protein without compromising cost and being allergen-free. Key Benefits Of NiHPRO™ Protein NiHPRO™ is not just another alternative protein but a groundbreaking innovation that offers: Superior taste, texture, and mouthfeel comparable to whey protein isolate (WPI) Enhanced solubility and digestibility High PDCAAS and DIAAS scores comparable to WPI 100% allergen – GMO – and lactose-free formulation A stable pricing structure and competitive with WPI Proof Is In The Pudding Despite NiHPRO™’s numerous advantages, we like challenges, and the best way to prove things is in the pudding—try it for yourself! Try the Samples: Taste for yourself and ask for samples of the flavored prototypes NiHPRO™ has superior sensory qualities and performance.No alternative protein on the market today can match NiHPRO™ sensory profile and texture! Formulated With Top Brands: It is being formulated now by some of the world’s top brands and is due to launch in late 2024, such as Iovate, Muscletech, and many other well-known, trusted global brands—powered by NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate. Price Concerns: You pay for what you get. If you are a brand owner only concerned with price, by all means, purchase cheap commodity alternative proteins that mix poorly, taste like dirt, can never pass as whey protein, and have an inferior amino acid score. NiHPRO™’s pricing reflects its premium quality and advanced formulation. It’s an evolution to whey protein but is 100% dairy-free and the gold standard in the industry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiuVSKDtnEU Introducing the Flavored Prototypes Showcasing NiHPRO’s exceptional qualities, we highly recommend trying the samples of our new strawberry and chocolate-flavored prototypes. Try the NiHPRO™ Protein Isolate “Pepsi Challenge” sensory challenge, and experience for yourself that 99.9% of all protein consumers will not be able to tell the difference between NiHPRO™ Protein and Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) blends. Some consumers even prefer NiHPRO™ over WPI formulas. **NOTE—NiHTEK® does not sell finished or flavored products; it only sells raw branded food ingredients. NiHTEK®, though, has created prototype flavors in our Japanese laboratory to ensure brand owners can genuinely compare the versatility and true capabilities of NiHPRO™ when formulated into flavored and finished products. The recipe for these prototypes is also transparent and can be shared on request. The Vision for the Future Our vision for NiHPRO™ is to become the discerning high-quality option for protein brand owners and consumers, offering a legitimate alternative to whey protein. We aim
