Axiom Foods, Inc. has been awarded its first application patent for any rice protein ever, U.S. Patent No. 9,820,504 for its Oryzatein® rice protein.
Axiom Foods is one of the largest makers of rice and pea protein ingredients.
The “method of use” protection grants exclusive right to Axiom to use the clinically-shown product claims for multiple versions of Axiom’s Oryzatein® organic brown rice protein, specifically: increased muscle mass, increased strength, increased power output, a decrease in fat to muscle ratio, increased VO2 max, and increased endurance.
The now protected Axiom’s Oryzatein® product claims are based on clinical trials which showed that Oryzatein® brown rice protein now equals animal-based whey protein in muscle building, maintenance and recovery.
Other clinical trials using Oryzatein® have shown that the muscle-building amino acid, leucine, absorbs faster than other rice proteins and whey proteins.
Axiom Foods will offer licensing opportunities for manufacturers to use the patented claims when formulating with Oryzatein® brown rice protein.
