Since one of our primary competitors spreads misinformation, we hope this post clarifies some questions about our pea protein ingredient. We also have a FAQ page on our website for reference.
Our Lory food products contain 71-85 parts per million (PPM) of iron. This is relatively low compared to brands with over 125 PPM. We have our nutritional analysis available on our website, which compares our iron content to other brands that use the same analysis from 10 years ago.
We use pea protein concentrate, not pea protein isolate. Pea protein concentrate has 17% iron content, while pea protein isolate has 39%. We chose pea protein because it offers numerous health benefits, including skin and feather health, muscle growth, bone health, and more. Soy protein is still used in our products. Our 2025 analysis shows 12-13% protein content.
Yes, we also use coconut palm sugar in our enrichment nectar formula, the Lory Cuisine Diet. Our palm sugar is sourced from a supplier that practices regenerative farming, making it environmentally sustainable. It is sourced from Indonesia, where many Lory species are native and feed on the coconut palm blossom nectar. Palm sugar has been used by many renowned expert lory keepers.
Our brand offers rewards points and cost savings through subscription programs. We also provide bulk and wholesale pricing for zoos, rescues, retailers, and breeders.
