Stop buying mystery powder.What if the cleanest protein on the planet wasn’t made in a lab… but grown on water?
This is the story of an Irish coach in Malaysia who ditched the supplement industry playbook and found “green gold” floating in a pond.
From Elite Gyms to a Big Question
For over two decades, Jason Moriarty trained professional athletes, managed high-performance facilities, and worked alongside global fitness names like Technogym.
His job? Build stronger, faster, longer-lasting bodies.
Which meant one thing: protein.
But behind the glossy labels and “premium” branding, Jason saw the truth up close.
Artificial flavorings. Synthetic sweeteners. Cheap fillers pretending to be nutritious.
“There’s no way that cheap vanilla shake contains real vanilla,” he’d tell clients. “You’re drinking lab chemistry.”
And he was tired of pretending that was okay.
When It Got Personal
Then life hit differently.
As Jason got older, muscle didn’t come as easily. Recovery slowed. Strength dipped. Classic sarcopenia creeping in.
He needed more protein but his body didn’t love heavy meat every day. And most vegan protein powders? Ultra-processed and incomplete.
So he made a bold call:
If the market won’t make clean protein… I will find it myself.
That decision sent him on a four-year search across Southeast Asia, visiting farms, villages, and small growers most brands would never bother talking to.
He wasn’t looking for trends.
He was looking for the truth.
The “Pond Plant” That Changed Everything
Then came the bio-sheet that stopped him cold.
A tiny floating plant. Locals called it duckweed.
Scientists call it Lemna.
Jason called it a breakthrough.
This wasn’t just another “superfood” buzzword. This was water lentil protein with numbers that rivaled animal sources.
35% protein content
Complete amino acid profile
PDCAAS digestibility score over 90%
Translation?
It behaves like meat in the body…
but digests like a plant.
Most plant proteins struggle with absorption. Your label may say 20g protein your body might use half.
With Lemna nutrition, your body actually gets what it’s promised.
For athletes. For aging adults. For busy professionals running on caffeine and deadlines.
Game. Changed.
Born in Malaysia. Built for Real Life.
That discovery became Zanadu Nutrition a clean label supplement brand in Malaysia built around one mission:
No chemical cocktails. No fake flavors. No junk.
Just highly digestible plant-based protein your body recognizes as food.
Not just for bodybuilders.
For parents who want energy after work.
For gym-goers tired of bloating from whey.
For vegans hunting the best vegan protein for digestion.
For anyone doing gambling with ingredient lists they can’t pronounce.
Why This Story Hits Different.
In a world obsessed with high-tech solutions, Jason went low-tech.
Back to farms.
Back to nature.
Back to food that grows, not formulas that are engineered.
From Ireland to Malaysia. From elite gyms to village ponds.
Sometimes innovation doesn’t come from a lab.
Sometimes it floats right in front of us waiting for someone curious (and stubborn) enough to notice.
Searching for clean, high-digestibility plant protein in Malaysia?
You might not find it in the supplement aisle.
But you’ll find it where nature’s been making it all along.
