Saint Michaels Foods, a small company from North Vancouver, created BUCK Nutra to help add high-quality protein into diets. BUCK is a single protein source that allows consumers to balance nutrition and provides recovery support after workouts.
The product is composed of high-quality gluten-free ingredients and features no allergens. Many people have a hard time digesting and absorbing protein leading to feelings of congestion, gassiness, and acid-reflex issues. These problems can ultimately lead to kidney failure and other organ diseases if not treated.
BUCK Nutra solves these problems through its ingredients. The protein is made of sustainable buckwheat crops, legumes, and various cereal products. The process of creating the product supports bees and local farmers while also preventing pollution.
The protein will be available across Canada at over 600 locations and major U.S cities.
