Next-Gen Nutraceuticals – Brazzein
Brazzein – The Sweet Protein
Brazzein is a clean-label sweet protein ideal for nutraceutical products targeting metabolic health, weight control, and sugar-free nutrition. With zero calories and glycemic impact, it’s stable in diverse formats like powders, drinks, and gummies. Produced via precision fermentation, brazzein also offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential—combining function, taste, and sustainability in one ingredient.
Antiinflammatory
Inhibits pro-inflammatory enzymes (COX-2) and allergic mediators, suggesting anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic activity.
Balanced
Brazzein does not cause weight gain, fat accumulation, or glucose imbalance, positioning it as a smart sugar alternative.
Antioxidant
Shows strong antioxidant capacity. It scavenges ABTS and DPPH radicals, helping protect cells from oxidative stress.
