Golden Pea Protein
Pea protein isolate is a plant protein with an excellent amino acid profile. It's made from premium-quality natural golden peas grown in Canada which have been dried and ground, then mixed with water to remove the fibre and starch components.
It's then ground and dried again to produce a product which is very high in protein, low in fat, easily digestible, and non-acidic. Low heat isolation is used to maximise bioavailability.
Pea protein is vegan and GMO free. It's also naturally free of dairy, gluten, soy, and other allergens*.
It mixes easily in a handshaker or blender, and also works well in recipes as it doesn't tend to dry out when baked like some other protein powders can. It can be used to make cookies, bars, pancakes, balls, muffins, and more.
Best Pea Protein
Newer generation pea protein isolates are better than before because they have a complete amino acid profile. This product contains all 21 amino acids and is a rich source of branched chain amino acids.
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and muscle tissue. Proteins are an essential part of the diet as they help the body to repair cells and make new ones, so are often referred to as the building blocks of life. Because pea protein has a complete profile with high levels of BCAAs it can help the body to recover and build muscle more efficiently.
The best pea proteins are processed without adding copious amounts of sodium to the formula in the manufacture of it. Our product has low-medium levels of sodium - only around 300mg per serve (unflavoured).
Our product is also far more cost effective than some other pea protein products on the market which go through 'middle-men' and retail into stores.
Benefits of Pea Protein
Pea makes a great alternative to whey and has many benefits:
- Pea is vegan, hypoallergenic, and alkaline. Whey is not.
- Whey can cause some people to get bloating and upset stomachs, whereas pea is easily digestible.
- Plants proteins are slower digesting than animal sources so can make you feel full for longer and enable more prolonged absorption. This study has shown that slower digesting proteins can be more beneficial for long term muscle growth due to the way the body uses the amino acids.
- Pea may also help to lower blood pressure and with kidney disease. "In people with high blood pressure [it] could potentially delay or prevent the onset of kidney damage." Source.
- Pea contains minerals including iron, phosphorus, calcium, zinc, potassium and magnesium that can benefit your health.
- Pea may help to improve glycemic control and balance blood sugar levels when paired with other foods.
Please note that this product is processed in a facility that also handles milk, egg, soy, peanut, and gluten ingredients.
