NNB, Axiom Foods Target Whey Woes with ‘Advanced’ Plant-Based Protein Line

NNB Nutrition and Axiom Foods have launched PeptiClear, a line of hydrolysed plant proteins, to address the global shortage of whey protein. These advanced plant-based proteins offer a functional alternative to whey and can be used in a variety of food applications, providing a scalable solution for manufacturers struggling to meet consumer demand for protein.

To enhance the performance of PeptiClear, NNB has introduced DL-185, a di-leucine peptide that can improve the anabolic potential of protein formulations. This innovative approach aims to bridge the performance gap often associated with plant protein formulations, offering brands a pathway to develop highly functional next-gen proteins with fewer supply constraints. As the demand for protein continues to rise, companies are ramping up solutions to the whey shortage, with alternative protein options such as PeptiClear becoming increasingly important in the food industry.
