Setting new standards for protein ingredients
Understory’s marine protein peptides mark a change in how we approach nutrition. Our ingredient's purity is confirmed through extensive heavy metal analysis and maintained by our superior quality standards. Targeted studies scientifically validate it’s quality and efficacy, highlighting our dedication to excellence.
Single-source complete protein
Understory Gamut, our first ingredient, is a marine protein peptide derived from Antarctic Krill (Euphasia Superba), refined through our innovative and patented process. Our ingredient features a high quality protein composition, including a PDCAAS score of 1.0 and a DIAAS score of 125.
Our ingredient is characterized by its purity. It features a low amount of carbohydrates, no-fat and a protein content above 90%. Additionally, it contains 8% leucine and more than 40% essential amino acids (EAAs).
Rich in naturally occurring minerals
With naturally occuring minerals such as calcium, selenium, and magnesium, Understory provides benefits beyond the protein profile. Minerals that are ingested together with peptides, or bound to peptides, has been shown to have increased bioavailability. Calcium is proven as an essential mineral for maintaining healthy bones and teeth. Selenium has been shown to protect cells from oxidative stress, while magnesium has been shown to contribute to metabolic function.
Small peptides, big impact
At the cutting edge of nutritional science, Understory introduces a protein ingredient that raises the bar for bioavailability and digestibility. Utilizing a patented hydrolysis process on our raw material, we are able to bring forward and ingredient where over 85% of the peptides have a molecular weight below 1000 Da. As a result, this enables exceptional solubility, improved digestibility, and consistent stability under varied temperatures and pH levels.
