PROTEINS

Protein is a fundamental macronutrient essential to maintaining the body’s structural strength and optimal physiological function. It supports tissue regeneration, muscle growth, enzymatic processes, hormonal regulation, and immune defence, making it integral to long-term health and performance.

In the food and nutraceutical sectors, protein is recognized not only for its nutritional importance but also for its exceptional functional capabilities. It enhances texture, stability, solubility, and emulsification, enabling the development of high-performance formulations across diverse applications.

Widely used in dietary supplements, functional foods, and fortified beverages, protein contributes to muscle maintenance, metabolic efficiency, satiety, and overall wellness. With growing demand for clean-label, sustainable, and science- backed nutrition, proteins with superior bioavailability and balanced amino acid profiles are increasingly valued as key differentiators in advanced nutritionalsolutions.
