Organic Quinoa And Algae Protein

Organic quinoa and algae protein is a blend of protein derived from quinoa, a grain-like seed, and algae, a type of aquatic organism. These sources are processed to extract and concentrate their protein content, often through methods like grinding, pressing, and purification.

This protein blend is primarily used as a nutritional supplement in foods like meal replacement shakes and weight control products. Manufacturers add it to boost the protein content and provide a plant-based protein source.

Quinoa and algae are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. Both quinoa and algae are considered nutrient-dense foods, providing essential amino acids and other nutrients. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various protein sources and food ingredients, but specific evaluations for this precise blend may vary. Evidence generally supports protein from these sources as part of a balanced diet.
