The Game-Changing Green
The nutritious Mankai® plant was bred from a species whose origins trace to Southeast Asia. The Mankai® plant may serve as a whole-leaf vegetable- source with extraordinary nutritional value — better than other existing products on the market. Hinoman’s exceptional cultivation system and ability to consistently deliver Mankai® with a year-round stable composition make this non-GMO plant a promising, reliable food source for large-scale consumption.
Mankai ® Plant: Whole Green Cuisine
With an exceptional array of nutrients, Mankai® is in a league of its own. The plant comprises complete protein, a mighty 45%+ on a dry-weight basis, with all 9 essential amino acids having a similar profile of protein egg. Mankai® is tiny – at 0.5 mm – and has a neutral, mild, non-overpowering taste, unlike many other plant and animal sources of protein. Mankai® can be used in its fresh-frozen or dry forms.
Tiny Plant. Huge Benefits.
Mankai® boasts a well-rounded nutritional profile, rich in minerals, such as iron, magnesium and zinc; vitamins, such as vitamin A, E, B12 -which is rarely found in plants, and folic acid ; omega 3 fatty acids, polyphenols and phytosterols, all packed in its astonishingly compact leaves. Its protein profile, which consists of about 45% of its dry matter, is extremely close to that of an egg, the nutritional gold standard for protein. Our Mankai® product delivers the following health features:
Quality Credentials-Scientifically proven:
Mankai® is rich in insoluble fibers, vitamins, minerals and polyphenols, a good-for-you food can be craveably good.
Mankai’s protein has a high digestibility profile as revealed by PDCAAS (protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score) test, rating it as a preferable protein source, as can be seen in the following table:
Mankai® , with its proven protein bioavailability may provide a high-quality substitute source for animal protein, as was evident by a clinical study recently published in the Clinical Nutrition Journal
Benefits that Surpass the Star Performers*
Mankai® nutritional profile eclipses other food sources including superfoods, such as soy, spirulina or kale.

Scientifically proven breakthroughs
The Mankai® plant’s dramatic benefits have sparked the curiosity of scientists worldwide who have teamed up with universities to study it. The following randomized, controlled scientific studies published in peer-reviewed journals confirm the nutritional benefits of Mankai®.
Plant, on Postprandial Glycemic Response: A Randomized Crossover Controlled Trial
omized controlled crossover trail among humans: the Mankai shake achieved better results than a yogurt shake in blood glucose control. In this trial, published in Diabetes Care, the researchers compared Mankai shake consumption to a yogurt shake, equivalent in carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and calories. Following two weeks of crossover trial monitoring the blood glucose level, participants who drank the Mankai shake showed a much better response in a variety of parameters including lower glucose rise immediately after eating, later peak time, faster bloodstream glucose evacuation and lower morning fasting glucose levels. In addition, Mankai maintained a better sense of satiety.

A Green-Mediterranean Diet, Supplemented with Mankai, Preserves Iron-Homeostasis in Humans and Is Efficient in Reversal of Anemia in Rats
Mankai is a rich source of iron, which is highly absorbed and bioavailable. In rats’ experiment, Mankai could treat anemia in the same rate and extend as iron supplement. In humans’ 6-month randomized controlled trial among hundreds of participants, the group which has been randomized to consume green Mediterranean diet with daily Mankai shake and less meat/poultry, did not decrease and actually improved its blood iron homeostasis and folic acid levels.

Mankai is a rich source of protein – which is bioavailable with its nine essential amino acids and is a source of B12 vitamin. In randomized controlled feeding trial in humans to explore the protein bioavailability of Mankai – it was found that all the Mankai’s essential amino acids were well absorbed and emerged in the bloodstream as did well-known protein sources such as soft cheese. The trial also suggested a potential bioavailability of Mankai’s vitamin B12.

Mankai contains bioactive B12 compounds and could serve as a vitamin B12 plant- based food source. A deep study, performed by international research teams from prestige universities around the world, focused on the composition and availability of vitamin B12 existed in the Mankai plant, includes several aspects:
- Show the stability of vitamin B12 levels in Mankai throughout the growth year-round, regardless seasons.
- Supply evidence that the vitamin B12 appears in its active form (cobalamin) in all three natural structures, without the presence of a pseudo-vitamin, usually linked with algal-based products, and which might inhibit the absorption of the genuine vitamin B12.
- Revealed the bioavailability of the Mankai’s vitamin B12 via randomized controlled clinical trial, lasted 18 months, among hundreds of participants. The group that consumed the green Mediterranean diet with a daily Mankai shake and less meat/poultry, revealed a higher blood vitamin B12 level, than in the two other groups which consumed the general Mediterranean diet and other health diet.
- Discover the effect on the microbe in the gastrointestinal tract, revealing an increase in the B12 metabolism gene expression.
This study clearly demonstrates, again, that Mankai can serve as a natural food source of vitamin B12, especially for vegetarians and vegans

Effects of Diet-Modulated Autologous Fecal Microbiota Transplantation on Weight Regain
Mankai may assist to optimize your microbiome.
One of the fascinating areas of research in recent years has been the impact of the microbiome on our health and the ways in which our lifestyle habits affect the microbiome population.
A breaking through study, recently published in the prestigious Gastroenterology journal, aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of diet-modulated autologous fecal microbiota transplantation (aFMT) for treatment of weight regain after the weight-loss phase. The findings of this study showed that a green Mediterranean diet supplement with Mankai might preserve weight loss and glycemic control and is associated with specific microbiome signatures, where a Mankai diet better optimizes the microbiome for an aFMT procedure.

The effect of green Mediterranean diet on cardiometabolic risk; a randomised controlled trial
‘Mankai your day’ – Routine Mankai consumption may amplify the beneficial cardiometabolic effects of Mediterranean diet.
A large-scale clinical trial, performed by international research teams from prestige universities around the world, examined the effect of a green Mediterranean diet, rich in polyphenols, that includes regular consumption of Mankai. This study found a positive and beneficial effect on the cardiometabolic system (heart function). The findings revealed that, in addition to a high weight loss, the Green- Mediterranean diet group achieved a larger and significant decrease in waist circumference, greater and significant decrease in bad cholesterol (LDL), decrease in blood pressure, and better improvements in additional cardiometabolic indices. These findings reinforce the conclusion that routine consumption of Green-Med diet supplemented with Mankai, may amplify the beneficial cardiometabolic effects of the Mediterranean diet.
