Nutrition from Water
Closing the global dairy protein gap with microalgae.
Nutrition from Water grows protein from chlorella, a microalgae, in fermentation tanks. Its Marine Protein matches dairy's amino acid profile at up to three times lower cost, without farmland, feed crops or fishing. Global demand for dairy protein is outstripping what cows can supply, and the company is designed to fill that gap rather than replace dairy, blending into existing products to stretch supply further.
Notable Achievements
- World's largest microalgae protein plant, with 1.5 million liters of fermentation capacity.
- 14,000 metric tons of validated customer demand.
- 60% cost advantage over whey protein concentrate on a protein-to-protein basis.
