“Rise of Personalized Nutrition Driving Cannabis-Based Formulations”
- Cannabis protein is gaining momentum in the infant and elderly nutrition sectors due to its hypoallergenic, easily digestible, and nutrient-rich properties, making it suitable for sensitive digestive systems
- Brands such as Sprout Organics and Else Nutrition have introduced formulations incorporating Cannabis protein, promoting it as a plant-based alternative to soy or dairy-based proteins in baby foods and adult nutrition shakes
- A 2024 survey by the Clean Label Project found that over 30% of caregivers preferred plant-based infant formula ingredients, with Cannabis protein ranked among the top three for perceived digestibility and clean-label status
- In elderly nutrition, Cannabis is valued for its mild taste, anti-inflammatory potential, and support in maintaining muscle mass, making it ideal for meal replacements and fortified soups
- Healthcare professionals are increasingly recommending plant-based nutritional aids for geriatric patients, contributing to rising clinical acceptance and institutional demand
- With global aging populations and growing demand for natural, allergen-free infant foods, these niche sectors are set to become high-potential growth verticals for the Cannabis protein market through 2030
