Potato Protein for Weight Management

IRVINE, Calif.Cyvex Nutrition released SolaThin, a weight-management ingredient suited for use in supplements and beverages. It is a potato-protein extract consisting of several low molecular weight proteins, including protease inhibitor PI-2. The company's vegetable-sourced offering contains no added compounds and features more than 90-percent protein, PI-2 included, to promote satiety and weight management.

"With approximately 60 million U.S. adults considered to be overweight, SolaThin provides manufacturers with 20 years of university-affiliated research that confirms its ability to safely promote weight loss with no observable side effects," said Matt Phillips, president and CEO of Cyvex Nutrition.

PI-2 enables the release of cholecystokinin (CKK), a naturally occurring peptide clinically shown to produce a feeling of gastric fullness, and thus can help reduce food consumption up to 20-percent in reported results. SolaThin is highly stable and active, and GMO-free.
