Plasma Nutrition and Performix® Bring Improved Whey Protein to the Market

04-12-2017 05:24 PM CET | Health & Medicine

Press release from: Plasma Nutrition

Product reformulations are about to become easier for food brands looking to increase the performance of their protein-based snacks and powders. Food-tech startup Plasma Nutrition announced the launch of a series of products featuring ioProtein™, a new and improved type of whey protein, in co-branded partnership with PERFORMIX®.

The enhancement is the result of Plasma Nutrition’s Ingredient Optimization™ technology (patent-pending), which makes it possible to change several functional characteristics of protein on a commercial scale, altering the way they are absorbed and utilized by the body. After five years of development, ioProtein™ is expected to enter the US market in the coming months.

“Changing the structure of proteins is not a new thing in itself,” says Plasma Nutrition co-founder Stephen Motosko, “but so far it’s always been done in a lab environment, five grams at a time. Scaling the process and making it economically viable is something no one has ever tried to do before.” This advancement will allow food brands to create more efficient products and gain a competitive edge in the growing supplements industry, without necessarily altering the protein content.

“Considering the size of the market, technological improvements in protein processing have been quite stagnant for decades,” says co-founder Chris Flynn-Rozanski. “So it was a long time coming for this type of breakthrough.”

For ioProtein™, the upcoming co-branded launch is only a first step. "Our partnership with Plasma Nutrition will be a huge factor in our future growth and market expansion," says PERFORMIX® CEO Matt Hesse. "Our forthcoming products will be our most innovative and unique to date."

Future uses of the Ingredient Optimization™ technology go far beyond sports nutrition, extending to the health sector and alternative (vegetable) protein sources. These improvements could go a long way to correct nutritional deficiencies in the diet of an ever-growing senior population and help stave off the muscle-wasting scourge known as sarcopenia.
