Cyvex Nutrition ~ Protomine Fish Protein

IRVINE, Calif.Cyvex Nutrition launched its Protomine line of fish protein powders to further expand its product portfolio.

Protomine is a sustainably sourced, fat-free powder that delivers a hydrolyzed marine protein at more than 80 percent concentration in its natural unflavored form. It contains naturally occurring trace elements in bioavailable organic forms, including magnesium and calcium.

The powder can be flavored and used in various protein formulations, such as protein bars and shakes. It offers clean label characteristics, meaning it contains no gluten, dairy, fat or phytoestrogens. The wild catch fish source also means the protein is non-GMO and contains no added antibiotics or hormones.

Containing eight essential amino acids, Protomine delivers an amino acid profile supporting the balanced needs of the human body. It contains high levels of arginine, histidine and lysine, which are important building blocks for human muscle. The amino acids are in a bioactive peptide form (di-tri-oligo peptides) and are formed through hydrolysis, a process which uses natural enzymes to split long protein chains into shorter peptides via a water-based reaction. These smaller protein segments digest faster and more easily than longer chains, making them more easily tolerated by individuals with food sensitivities or those recovering from injury or illness. Another advantage is the fast absorption and efficiency of these proteins when transported throughout the body.

The product is produced in conjunction with Bluewave Marine Ingredients and is based on the sustainably harvested Peruvian Anchovy.

Cyvex recently extended its alliance with CK Ingredients to continue the distribution of Cyvex ingredients within the Canadian marketplace.
