Ortiva® Rice Protein

Nature’s Ingredients, Inc’s Ortiva® Rice Protein 80% is an outstanding plant-based alternative to animal and dairy based proteins. It is gluten free, hypoallergenic and easily digestible. Brown rice is an excellent source of protein. The use of organic rice proteins in sports & energy nutrition products is due to 37% of the total protein being comprised of essential amino acids and 18% as branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are essential for athletes and bodybuilders. Research shows that rice protein matches the effectiveness of whey protein for increasing lean body mass, skeletal muscle hypertrophy, power, strength, and exercise recovery.

Rice proteins also produces peptides that delay the secretion of ghrelin in the stomach, helping to suppress appetite and increase satiation. As a vegan protein source that is low in carbohydrates, free of cholesterol and lactose, Ortiva® Rice Protein 80% continues to earn its place as an exceptional alternative to animal proteins.

Ortiva® Rice Protein 80% is one of the finest quality rice proteins available in the market today. It has a low flavor profile and is easily incorporated into a wide range of applications and formulations in functional foods and beverages.

Pisiva® Pea Protein

Nature’s Ingredients’ Pisiva® Pea Protein is an affordable, allergen free, sustainable and earth-friendly alternative to animal proteins. Its excellent solubility and neutral flavor profile allows Pisiva® Pea Protein to be incorporated into a wide range of food and beverage products. It provides manufacturers with a clean label, protein rich, Non-GMO, and Organic ingredient option - appealing to an ever growing market of health-conscious individuals.

Pisiva® is one of the best vegan protein sources available for healthy diets due to its amino acid profile, high in branched chain amino acids (BCAA’s), especially arginine. Pea protein has almost three times the arginine content of whey. Arginine promotes healthy blood flow and heart health. It’s also rich in leucine, isoleucine and valine, which drive protein synthesis and results in muscle mass. Pea protein contains lysine which promotes healthy cartilage, skin and bones. It is also a good source of iron, and is easily digestible. Pea protein has a digestibility rate of 94%, meaning most of it will break down during digestion.

Pea protein contains all nine essential amino acids that your body cannot create and must get from food. It is a little low in methionine that can be balanced by adding Ortiva® Rice Protein. Pea protein provides support for kidney health. Like whey, pea protein also promotes muscle growth, muscle mass and exercise recovery. Research also shows that as a weight-loss supplement it increases metabolism, reduces appetite, and helps control blood sugar levels.

Hemptiva® Hemp Protein

Hemptiva® Hemp Protein

portfoilo_banner-Hemp_1170x350

Hemptiva® Hemp Protein

Considered by many to be one of nature’s superfood, hemp boasts a long list of health benefits. Hemptiva® Hemp Protein by Nature’s Ingredients is an excellent source of natural plant-based protein, delivering a complete spectrum of all nine essential amino acids, plus fiber, healthy fats and minerals. Hemptiva® is packed with proteins that are very similar to the natural proteins found in the human body.

Why is this important? Because hemp provides the correct amino acids in the right quantities and proportions to help our bodies utilize the proteins it needs. Hemp protein consists of more globulins and albumin than any other plan-based protein, which are two of the three most common types of proteins found in the human body. Hemp protein is also a quality source of the amino acids arginine and histidine – required for growth and muscle recovery and repair.

Hemptiva® also contains the branchedchain amino acids (BCAAs) which are a group of three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine. They are essential, meaning they cannot be produced by your body and must be obtained from food. BCAA supplements have been shown to build muscle, decrease muscle fatigue and alleviate muscle soreness.

Here are five proven benefits of BCAAs:

  1. Increase Muscle Growth
  2. Decrease Muscle Soreness
  3. Reduce Exercise Fatigue
  4. Prevent Muscle Wasting
  5. Benefit People with Liver Disease

Also rich in healthy fatty acids, Omega 3 and Omega 6, Hemptiva® is one of the few organic sources of Gamma Linolenic Acid which is another important source of Omega 6. All of these Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) are abundant in Hemp Protein and may reduce food cravings, inflammation and improve circulation.

Hemptiva® Hemp Protein Powder dissolves easily and has a mild taste, making it a wonderful addition to your smoothie, shake or yogurt. It can also be added to baked goods, pancakes and hot cereals for a boost of protein, fiber and iron. Hemp protein isolates also tend to have superior oil-holding capacity, gel-forming ability, and foaming capacity and ability, expanding its ability to be a fantastic choice for a multitude of applications.

Monk fruit is a small sub-tropical melon that has been cultivated in the remote mountains of Southern China for centuries.

In the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Luo Han Guo is considered to be a longevity aid and is associated with longevity in populations in South China that live for one hundred years or more.
