Why We Chose Organic and Our Product Composition

In the world of health and fitness, the demand for high-quality, clean products has grown exponentially in recent years. Consumers want to know what is in their products, how they are produced, and most importantly: whether they contribute to a healthier lifestyle without harmful consequences. At Faunus Nutrition, we are committed to delivering the highest quality plant-based protein powders, which not only contain a complete amino acid profile, but are also organic and fermented. In this article, we explain why we made these choices, what this means for your health, and the importance of transparency and sustainability in our product development.

Organic: The Power of Pure Nature

What is organic and why is it important?

Organic means more than just no pesticides. It means that the soil, water and air used to produce the ingredients are free of harmful chemicals and that the entire production process is sustainable and environmentally friendly. The focus is on maintaining healthy biodiversity, reducing the carbon footprint and creating products that are good for both the consumer and the planet.

At Faunus Nutrition we believe that organic is the best choice, not only for your health, but also for the future of our planet. We work with organically certified ingredients that meet the highest standards of purity. Our products are SKAL certified , which means that they meet the strict requirements of organic production in the Netherlands.

Why SKAL certification?

The SKAL certification stands for strict control of the organic origin of products. This offers you, as a consumer, the guarantee that our product is produced completely organically and that no artificial fertilizers, chemical pesticides or genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have been used. This certification is essential for the transparency we want to offer, so that you know exactly what you are buying and consuming.

Better Quality and Bio-Availability

Our organically produced proteins are naturally more absorbable by the body. This means that your body can utilize more of the nutrients compared to non-organic proteins. In addition, our products are completely free of artificial additives, which benefits your overall health.

Our Transparent Product Composition

Transparency is key at Faunus Nutrition. We want you to know exactly what is in our products and why we have chosen certain ingredients. Our organic plant-based protein powders consist of purely natural ingredients, without artificial additives or fillers. Each ingredient has a function and contributes to your health and well-being.

Pesticide Free: Health and Safety First

Pesticides are common chemicals used in agriculture to protect crops from pests. While this may seem beneficial at first, pesticides pose serious risks to human health. Studies have linked pesticides to chronic diseases such as cancer and Parkinson's disease. At Faunus Nutrition, our products are completely pesticide-free because we believe that health starts with pure, uncontaminated ingredients.

Why is this important?

By eliminating pesticides from our production process, we prevent harmful chemicals from entering your body and help maintain soil health and biodiversity, which is crucial for the long-term sustainability of agriculture.

Fermentation Process: What is it and Why Did We Use It?

One of the unique aspects of our products is that we use a fermentation process. But what exactly is fermentation and why did we choose it?

Fermentation is a biological process that uses microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi or yeasts to convert sugars into acid, gas or alcohol. This process has many benefits for food, including improved digestibility and increased bioavailability of nutrients.

Saponins: The Legume's Natural Defense System

Peas contain saponins, a substance that plants use as a natural defense system against insects and other threats. While saponins can be healthy in small amounts, they can also cause digestive issues such as bloating and gas in some people. By fermenting our pea protein, we break down the saponins, resulting in a much more digestible product.

Fermentation not only improves digestibility, but also makes the proteins in our products more easily absorbed by the body. This means that your body gets more benefit from every gram of protein you consume.

A Complete Amino Acid Profile Thanks to the Combination of Rice and Pea Protein

Proteins are made up of amino acids, some of which are essential, meaning that the body cannot produce them itself and must therefore obtain them from food. Plant-based protein sources often do not contain all the essential amino acids in the right proportions. At Faunus Nutrition we have solved this problem by combining pea protein and rice protein .

Why the combination of rice and peas?

Pea protein is rich in lysine, an essential amino acid that is often lacking in other plant-based protein sources. Rice protein, on the other hand, is rich in cysteine ​​and methionine, two amino acids that are less common in peas. By combining these two protein sources, we provide a complete amino acid profile that is comparable to animal protein sources such as whey, but without the drawbacks of dairy.

This makes our product particularly suitable for both vegans and people with sensitive digestion who want to avoid animal proteins.

Solution to Common Protein Shake Complaints

One of the biggest complaints consumers have about protein shakes is digestive issues such as bloating, gas and stomach discomfort. This is often caused by incompletely fermented or poorly digestible proteins. Through our fermentation process and the combination of rice and pea proteins, we have solved these problems.

How did we solve the 'protein belly'?

The well-known 'protein belly', a bloated feeling that many people experience after drinking a protein shake, is often caused by poorly digestible proteins or ingredients that ferment in the intestines. Our fermentation process breaks down these ingredients before they reach your body, meaning you will not suffer from bloating or other digestive problems. This is one of the main reasons why consumers choose our products over other protein powders on the market.

What Makes Organic Better?

Many consumers wonder why organic is better. In addition to the health benefits of avoiding pesticides and other harmful substances, organic is also better for the environment. Organic farming methods promote biodiversity, improve soil health, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
