Ortiva® Rice Protein
Nutrient-Rich Ortiva® Brown Rice Proteins Designed for Functional Formulations
Nature’s Ingredients, Inc.’s Ortiva® Rice Protein 80% (Item # HARN80 & HARC80) is a premium plant-based protein designed to perform as a true alternative to animal- and dairy-derived proteins. Gluten free, hypoallergenic, and highly digestible, it meets the demands of today’s clean-label and allergen-conscious formulations.
Derived from brown rice, Ortiva® Rice Protein 80% delivers a strong nutritional profile, with approximately 37% of its protein content comprised of essential amino acids and 18% as branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)—key nutrients for athletes, bodybuilders, and active consumers. Clinical research has demonstrated that rice protein can be comparable to whey protein in supporting lean body mass gains, skeletal muscle hypertrophy, strength, power, and post-exercise recovery.
In addition to its performance benefits, rice protein generates bioactive peptides that may delay ghrelin secretion in the stomach, helping to enhance satiety and support appetite control. As a vegan protein source that is naturally low in carbohydrates and free from cholesterol and lactose, Ortiva® Rice Protein 80% aligns well with sports nutrition, weight management, and general wellness applications.
Recognized for its consistent quality, Ortiva® Rice Protein 80% features a clean, low flavor profile and excellent versatility, allowing for easy incorporation into a wide range of functional food and beverage formulations.
Why High-NSI Rice Protein Delivers Better Performance
NSI Version – Optimized for Beverages
Improving the Nitrogen Solubility Index (NSI) in brown rice protein directly enhances how it performs in real-world formulations. A higher NSI means the protein incorporates more easily—giving manufacturers smoother textures, cleaner flavors, and far better processing results.
With higher Nitrogen Solubility Index, you get:
- Superior dispersibility for smoother shakes and reduced grittiness
- Cleaner flavor release with less masking required
- Higher protein-loading without thickening or clumping
- Better digestibility for sports and clinical nutrition
- Easier processing, from mixing to spray drying
- Fewer stabilizers needed, supporting clean-label claims
Ortiva® Rice Protein 80% High NSI (Item numbers NARN80PA & NARC80PA) help brands deliver the taste, texture, and performance today’s consumers expect – while keeping labels simple and nutrition strong.
