Soft Protein Super Food from Fauna Marin is a new Soft Shrimp based “Super Food” for your fish. Soft Protein Super Food is the first granulated food to include proteolytic properties*. Rich in protein and proteolytic enzymes, it provides your fish with key nutrition for healthy growth and a strengthened immune system. According to Fauna Marin your aquarium will also be supplied with various organic nitrogen compounds through the digestive process of your fish, which will in turn promote coral growth. What are Proteolytic Properties? *Proteolysis is the breakdown of proteins into smaller polypeptides or amino acids. Proteolysis is typically catalyzed (sped up) by cellular enzymes called proteases, but may also occur by intra-molecular digestion. Low pH or high temperatures can also cause non-enzymatic proteolysis by Joe Rowlett | Mar 5, 2018 | Science
