Solar Foods’ Solein Enters US Consumer Market in Sports Nutrition Partnership

Solar Foods has entered the US consumer market with its Solein-based protein powder, in partnership with sports nutrition brand Ambrosia Collective. The protein powder, available in a salted caramel coldbrew flavor, delivers 20g of protein per serving with no sugar. This marks the first time Solein has been used in a consumer product in the US, following similar launches in Singapore.

Solein is a single-cell protein ingredient produced through gas fermentation, using carbon dioxide and hydrogen as primary inputs. Solar Foods submitted a GRAS notification to the FDA last year, with expectations of receiving a no-questions letter by the end of 2026. The company is targeting the growing protein products market, noting that protein consumption is no longer limited to gym-goers and is now seen as a mainstream product throughout the day to support an active lifestyle.ambrosia Collective co-founder Sean Torbati expressed pride in incorporating Solein into their Planta formula, highlighting the importance of staying up-to-date with the latest innovations to remain competitive in the market.
