APOLLO II Hybrid Protein Powder

Unico Nutrition announces the reimagination of its Apollo protein powder alongside precision fermentation pioneer Perfect Day, Inc.

August 30, 2023

Following an intensive collaboration focused on innovation and progressive problem solving, the brand-new product combines sustainable whey made from fermentation with grass-fed, animal-based protein for a kinder, greener formula that boosts performance. Unico Nutrition created a hybrid product, which combines traditional dairy with Perfect Day’s innovative animal-free whey protein.

Perfect Day is the pioneer of protein produced with precision fermentation, a process that uses microflora to produce proteins the same as those found in dairy products. Offering an advanced, sustainable alternative without compromising taste, texture, or nutritional value, Perfect Day’s  precision fermentation process reduces water consumption up to 99%, greenhouse gas emissions up to 97%, and energy use up to 60% compared to traditional production methods.

With a brand-new enzyme system, the superior formulation includes grass-fed milk protein, whey from fermentation, and egg white for an ethically-created alternative which builds lean muscle more effectively than whey alone. Optimized for diet and weight loss, cross-flow filtration removes all excess fats, sugars, and carbohydrates to keep you full for 6-8 hours while added protease enzymes aid in digestion to eliminate bloating and discomfort.

Created with the goal of reducing Unico’s carbon footprint and preserving resources, Apollo II also features fresh packaging in an updated product size using 7.5x less plastic. Swapping traditional plastic tubs for food-grade, resealable, stand-up recycled Met-PET pouches, the revised format reduces overall manufacturing resource consumption by 20%.

Known for the signature, delicious taste and velvety smooth texture with no chalkiness, Apollo II will be sold in 6 of the brand’s best-selling flavors: vanilla, chocolate, chocolate peanut butter, birthday cake, strawberry, and banana.

Apollo II Protein Powder retails for $39.99 and is available at uniconutrition.com.
