Our global mission

A big reason we started Nuscle was to help with a preventable disease affecting millions of children worldwide, that we couldn't believe still existed back when we were studying it. Kwashiorkor.

What is Kwashiorkor?

Kwashiorkor is severe protein malnutrition. It affects millions of children under five every year. It happens where there's enough food, but not enough high-quality protein. Where diets are mostly grains, beans and other plants.

Here, protein is a choice. Elsewhere, it's a matter of life and death.

How Nuscle can help

Kwashiorkor is preventable. In fact, one double dose of Nuscle provides 14g of balanced essential amino acids. The daily amount needed to prevent dietary Kwashiorkor. That's how easy it is to prevent.

However, Nuscle doesn't have the micronutrients that kwashiorkor drains. So, we are pledging a packet of emergency therapeutic food (RUTF) for every order made.

We are working on how we can distribute these pledged resources. You should see it on Our Future soon!

So far we've pledged 486 RUTFs.

Enough to save the lives of 5 children with severe protein malnutrition.
