Setting new standards for protein nutrition
Understory's marine protein peptides represent a breakthrough in nutritional excellence. Through rigorous analysis and quality controls, we've confirmed the purity and efficacy of our ingredient. Targeted scientific studies validate Understory's superior quality and performance, setting a new standard for protein nutrition.
Single-source complete protein
Understory Gamut, our first ingredient, is a marine protein peptide derived from Antarctic Krill (Euphausia Superba), refined through our innovative and patented process. Our ingredient features a high-quality complete protein composition, with a PDCAAS score of 1.0 and a DIAAS score of 125.
Understory Gamut is characterized by high purity, with over 90% protein content, minimal carbohydrates, and no fat. It also contains 8% leucine and more than 40% essential amino acids (EEAs).
Rich in naturally occurring minerals
Understory goes beyond just protein, providing essential minerals like calcium, selenium, and magnesium. These naturally occurring minerals, when combined with protein peptides, exhibit increased bioavailability.
Calcium supports healthy bones and teeth, selenium protects against oxidative stress, and magnesium contributes to metabolic function.
Small peptides, big impact
Understory revolutionizes nutritional science by introducing a protein ingredient with exceptional bioavailability and digestibility. Through our patented hydrolysis process, over 85% of the peptides in our ingredient have a molecular weight below 1000 Da.
This small peptide size enables solubility, improved absorption, and stability across diverse temperatures and pH levels.
