PLANT PROTEINS | CANNATEIN®

Due to the increasing demand for multiple-benefit, allergen-friendly, clean label vegan protein sources, Cannatein® hemp heart protein has been added to Axiom’s line of  powerful plant protein ingredients which are ideal for food, beverage and neutraceutical products.  Exclusive to Axiom Foods, Cannatein® provides the best tasting, lightest color, highly concentrated hemp protein free flowing powder, fractioned from just the hemp hearts.

Ideal for multiple applications and consumer demographics, seed-based Cannatein® hemp hearts protein is fractioned from a cannabis species testing under 20ppm THC. It is a suspendible and highly digestible protein superfood also rich in Fiber, Omegas 3, 6 and 9, B Vitamins (Thiamin, Niacin, Folate, B6),  Manganese, Magnesium, Iron, Phosphorus, Zinc, and Copper. Being so nutrient-dense, this one simple ingredient builds out an ideal nutrition label while keeping the ingredient list short. Comprised of approximately half protein and half carbohydrates/healthy fats, the combination of protein and fiber in one ingredient is particularly beneficial in products aiding satiety.

Cannatein® is being used as both an allergen-friendly replacement for soy protein and whey protein, plus a blend with other plant proteins such as pea and rice, featuring a complimentary amino acid profile. It contains all 20 amino acids and is particularly high in Cystine and Methionine which serve as antioxidants supporting the immune system, and Arginine for sports nutrition. It is a good source of BCAAs and key fatty acids such as ALA.

Offered in a uniquely concentrated protein level of 68%, an additional 58% protein hemp hearts protein is made to order, plus higher concentrations are in development. Same as all other Axiom Foods plant proteins, Cannatein® is produced by means of a natural, hexane-free process in a BRC certified facility under GFSI standards.
