Pea Protein powder is a natural vegetable based protein powder derived from yellow peas (Pisum sativum).
Yellow peas are more commonly known as "split peas" and are used extensively in food preparation such as in soups & purees. Most commercially available protein powders are derived from dairy, soy, rice or eggs. This may cause digestive system problems for those people with allergic dietary concerns.
Pea Protein because it is a plant-based, hypoallergenic protein that yields a high biological value (BV) of around 65%.
The BV is an accurate indicator of the biological activity of protein. It measures the actual amount of protein deposited per gram of protein absorbed. High BV proteins are a better choice for increased nitrogen retention, enhanced immunity and IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor stimulation). They are superior for reducing lean tissue loss from various wasting states than proteins with a low BV score.
Our Pea Protein is concentrated from the normal level of 6% in fresh peas to 90% protein content. This unique process produces a protein powder that is highly soluble and easy to digest - eliminating the problems caused by whey or other protein powders.
Pea Protein is ideal for Vegetarians and Vegans. It offers an excellent nutritional profile and is also free of gluten, lactose, cholesterol and other unnecessary junk.
