The science behind Nothing Else™ Protein Powders

Most plant protein isolates on the market are extracted using harsh chemical solvents. Hexane, alkali solutions, and other industrial processes that strip away natural integrity and leave behind residues you don't want in your body.

We developed a better way.

Proprietary ApPro Technology

Our ApPro extraction technology is what makes Nothing Else different. It's a gentle, solvent-free process that preserves the natural qualities of the plant while delivering pure, highly functional protein.

No chemicals. No hexane. No alkali treatments. Just advanced science applied with precision to extract protein in its optimal form.

The result is a protein isolate that's smooth, highly digestible, and clean—without compromising on performance or purity.

What Makes ApPro Different

Traditional protein extraction relies on chemical solvents to separate protein from the plant material. These methods are efficient at scale, but they come with trade-offs: chemical residues, denatured proteins, and a final product that often tastes and feels processed.

ApPro technology uses mechanical and water-based processes to gently extract protein while maintaining its natural structure. This means:

  • Higher digestibility – Protein that your body can efficiently break down and absorb
  • Better solubility – Smooth mixing with no grit or clumping
  • Neutral flavour and texture – No chalky aftertaste or bean-heavy flavour
  • Preserved nutrient integrity – The protein retains its natural amino acid profile and functional properties

We're not just removing what doesn't belong. We're protecting what does.

Complete Amino Acid Profile

Both our Faba Bean and Yellow Pea Protein Isolates deliver all 9 essential amino acids—the ones your body can't produce on its own and must get from food.

This makes them complete proteins, comparable to animal-based sources like whey, but derived entirely from plants.

Per serve:

  • 26g of protein
  • Complete essential amino acid profile
  • Good source of iron
  • Low sugar
  • Naturally free from all major allergens

The amino acid composition supports muscle maintenance, recovery, satiety, and overall metabolic health—whether you're training, managing weight, aging, or simply prioritizing nutrition.

Optimal Digestibility

Digestibility matters as much as protein content. If your body can't efficiently break down and absorb the protein, the numbers on the label don't mean much.

Our gentle extraction process preserves the protein's natural structure, making it easier for your digestive system to process. This translates to better nutrient absorption, reduced bloating, and a product that actually works the way it should.

Highly digestible protein means you get more out of every scoop.

Single Ingredient, Maximum Transparency

Nothing Else protein isolates are made from one ingredient: pulses grown in the Wimmera region of Victoria.

Faba beans or yellow peas. That's it.

No fillers. No artificial flavours. No preservatives. No gums or thickeners to mask poor quality. Just pure plant protein extracted with precision and care.

We own the only plant protein isolate manufacturing facility in Australia, which means we control every step—from the crop to the container. Farm to you. No detours.

Built on Sustainability

The science behind Nothing Else isn't just about extraction. It's about the entire system.

Faba beans and yellow peas are nitrogen-fixing crops, meaning they naturally enrich the soil by converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form plants can use. This reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers and supports regenerative agricultural practices.

Farmers in the Wimmera use these pulses as rotational crops—planting them between other crops to restore soil health and improve long-term productivity. It's farming that works with the environment, not against it.

Our facility in Horsham processes these locally grown pulses into protein isolate using minimal water and energy compared to traditional extraction methods. The result is a sustainable, closed-loop system that delivers high-quality protein with a reduced environmental footprint.

Science-Backed, Clean, Simple

At Nothing Else, science isn't about complexity. It's about precision.

We developed ApPro technology to solve a problem: how to extract pure, functional plant protein without relying on chemical solvents or compromising on quality.

The answer is a process that's gentler, cleaner, and more effective—one that respects the plant, supports your body, and delivers protein that actually performs.

Science-first. Plant-based. Made in Australia.

Everything you need. Nothing else.
