Description

Vegan Pea Protein (Vanilla), a natural pea protein isolate, offers a high level of functionality and nutritional benefits. It is ideal for those who are looking for vegetarian protein and may not want dairy derived protein. Vegan Pea Protein (Vanilla) is a true vegan protein which has high bioavailability and excellent digestibility.* The raw materials, North American grown yellow peas, are not genetically modified (non-GMO) and are produced with a natural fermentation process and Vegan Pea Protein (Vanilla) is extracted from these dry peas via a patented protein technology which uses no chemical solvents. which uses no chemical solvents.

Made with non-GMO ingredients.
Amino Acid Profile
Vegan Pea Protein (Vanilla) has an excellent array of amino acids, including high levels of BCAAs (branched chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine). While its amino acid profile is similar to whey protein, it is particularly high in arginine, lysine, and phenylalanine. Its well-balanced profile fulfills the essential amino acid requirements outlined by the World Health Organization for adults.

Excellent Digestibility
Vegan Pea Protein (Vanilla) has excellent digestibility, a distinct advantage over other vegetable protein isolates, as it does not contain the commonly occurring anti-nutritional factors of other legumes (i.e., soy), mainly trypsin inhibitors, phytates, lectins, tannins, and α-galactocides. (The presence of high levels of these anti-nutritional factors can cause substantial reductions in protein digestibility.)

Benefits of Peas
As pea protein has ACE inhibitory activity, it may have a positive effect on the maintenance of normal blood pressure levels. It has also been shown, in rat studies, to have a positive impact on total cholesterol and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) by stimulating bile acid formation and excretion.

When compared to other vegetables, the yellow peas used in Vegan Pea Protein (Vanilla) have low levels of phytosteroids (isoflavones), thus minimizing the possible estrogenic effects.

Vegan Pea Protein (Vanilla): great protein source for athletes and anyone who is physically active. Due to its favorable amino acid profile and high digestibility, Vegan Pea Protein (Vanilla) is an excellent choice for consumption before, during, and after exercise. Adequate intake of protein, in particular BCAAs, helps to promote muscle growth and repair, particularly after strenuous resistance training.

Vegan Pea Protein (Vanilla) mixes easily in any beverage of choice.

Dairy Free
The pea protein in Vegan Pea Protein (Vanilla) is not a major allergen, and is, therefore, a safe alternative for people with allergies to milk and milk products who must avoid casein or whey proteins, for those with lactose intolerance, and for vegetarians with soy allergies.
