Solar Foods has partnered with Pothos, a nutritional supplements company based in Texas, US, to integrate its vegan-friendly Solein ingredient into Pothos’ protein powders.

Pothos manufactures clean label supplements with a minimalist approach. The company will add Solein into its product line of ready-to-mix protein powders, available to consumers under its renewed brand PRVL in the first quarter of 2026.

Solein is a unique ‘air protein’ ingredient developed using a single microbe grown in nature, fermented using carbon dioxide and electricity. The result is a nutritionally rich and versatile ingredient solution which can replace animal-based proteins in ‘virtually any food,’ Solar Foods says.

Pothos’ new line will be among the first food products to include Solein in the US. Solar Foods has already made products with Solein commercially available in Singapore, and is now expanding to the US market with an initial focus on the health and nutrition category.

Thomas Miller, VP of operations at Pothos, said: “PRVL is pioneering a new generation of protein, one that proves innovation doesn’t need excess. Every element is intentional; every choice backed by science, designed to meet the growing demand for cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable nutrition.”

He added: “We are very excited to work with Solein, which perfectly fits our philosophy of producing minimalist products free from unnecessary additives, offering a complete amino acid profile and vegan-friendly, non-GMO characteristics”.

Troels Nørgaard, chief commercial and product officer at Solar Foods, said: “Pothos shares our excitement about Solein and they have been able to develop a product to market really fast. It is a big milestone for us to enter this market segment and the ready-to-mix product category in the US.”
