Natral

We are a tech-enabled protein company making conservation and sustainability our priority. Our flagship product is a darkling protein powder, made from one of the world’s most sustainable protein sources – beetles!

Natral is a unique product that is three times more sustainable than plant protein and six times more than whey.
Our protein powder is also award winning in sustainability.
We only use three ingredients in our product, and without additives or refining it naturally provides a complete amino acid as well as 17 vitamins and minerals.
With this we have several patents filed and are backed by leading food companies.
Our target consumers are the 10 million men in the US who consume protein powder regularly and are even willing to pay more for sustainable products: amounting to a $2.4 billion obtainable market size.
