L-Arginine is far more than a common amino acid—it’s the essential precursor for nitric oxide (NO), driving vascular health, recovery and metabolic balance. Many brands hide cheap fillers in “proprietary blends” (amino-spiking), but NiHPRO® is different: our patented MPi™ process delivers an ingredient with industry-leading, bioavailable arginine—pure, transparent and designed for formulators.
Why L-Arginine Matters in Formulations
Nitric Oxide Precursor
L-Arginine is the only dietary amino acid converted by nitric oxide synthase into NO, the molecule that relaxes blood vessels and boosts circulation.
Heart and Vascular Support
Enhanced NO production helps maintain healthy blood pressure and protects endothelial cells from oxidative stress, supporting long-term cardiovascular function.
Immune and Recovery Benefits
As fuel for immune-cell proliferation and tissue repair, arginine accelerates recovery from stress, illness or heavy training sessions.
Metabolic Balance
NO-mediated pathways improve glucose uptake and fat oxidation, helping manage energy use and reduce inflammation.
NiHPRO®: Beyond Basic Protein
Clean-Label and Sustainability
Consumers now expect clean-label ingredients free from artificial additives. The global clean-label market is projected to grow at a 15.5% CAGR through 2035, driven by transparency and natural sourcing. NiHPRO® meets these demands with zero GMOs, zero lactose and no hidden blends—all disclosed openly for formulators.
Patented MPi™ Process for Functional Performance
NiHPRO® is produced via the patented Molecular-Protein Infusion (MPi™) process, which uses food-grade enzymes to generate uniform, highly soluble protein particles. This gentle method yields an ingredient with exceptional heat stability—maintaining solubility even after dry-heat treatment at 100 °C—and minimal viscosity in the pH range of 2–8.
Industry-Leading Purity and Amino-Acid Profile
85% Protein Content in a single-ingredient matrix, ideal for powders, bars and beverages.
DIAAS 1.16 / PDCAAS 1.00, surpassing standard whey and plant isolates in digestibility and amino-acid availability.
Arginine-Rich: Internal data confirm NiHPRO® delivers arginine levels significantly above typical plant isolates and rivaling top whey isolates, ensuring maximal NO production per scoop.
Regulatory and Labeling Advantages
NiHPRO®’s full amino-acid profile is disclosed on every certificate of analysis, simplifying regulatory approval across global markets. Its dairy-free, allergen-free status accelerates clean-label claims and broadens application scope in dairy and vegan-friendly products.
NiHPRO® redefines what a branded protein ingredient can deliver: exceptional L-Arginine content, proven functional benefits, and a clean-label footprint that resonates with today’s consumers and regulators alike. For next-generation formulations—from sports nutrition to functional beverages—NiHPRO® offers the clarity, performance and sustainability that formulators require.
