Ambrosia Collective to Introduce Solar Foods' Solein Protein Powder to U.S. Consumers

HELSINKI, Finland – Sports nutrition and health supplement brand Ambrosia Collective aims to introduce a Solein-powered ready-to-mix protein powder for consumers in the United States, said Solar Foods, the producer of Solein, in a press release. 

Solein, described by the company as "a protein out of thin air," originates from a natural, non-modified, single-cell organism. The mustard-colored novel protein powder is made by fermenting naturally occurring microbes with air and electricity, according to Solar Foods.

The product will be launched under their brand Planta, and a limited amount of products is intended to be available for consumers during the first quarter of 2026. The ready-to-mix protein powder will be one of the first Solein-powered protein powder products available for consumers anywhere in the world, Solar Foods said. 

Ambrosia is a sports nutrition and health supplement company that develops and produces performance-focused, vegan-friendly products. 

“Ambrosia was formed to take the human body to the next level, using real science and independently researched ingredients. We develop and produce breakthrough natural products with real science and innovative ingredients. In the case of Planta we have combined this with incredible flavor profiles that make your protein shake something to look forward to every day! We are very excited to use Solein, a truly ground-breaking ingredient with great nutritional and environmental value – combining leading-edge science with nature’s own harvest," said Sean Torbati, co-founder of Ambrosia Collective.  

Solar Foods is commercializing Solein in the U.S., focusing first on the Health & Performance nutrition market, the company said. Before the U.S., Solein-powered products have been available for consumers in Singapore.  

“The Health & Performance nutrition category is growing continuously in the United States, and Solein excels as an ingredient in this category’s products. It’s beyond exciting to see the first Solein-powered products being launched in the significant market by different Health & Performance nutrition companies. We continue to work closely with customers to support developing products for consumers," said Rami Jokela, chief executive officer of Solar Foods.
