Pea Protein

Description

It is the ideal alternative to animal derived whey protein supplying important essential amino acids, rich in branch-chain amino acids (BCAA), and contains antioxidants, all vital components for athletes and active people in support of muscle recovery, building lean muscle tissue, and staying healthy amidst the stress imparted on the body by strenuous exercise. Likewise, the same accounts for the ill and malnourished dealing with the stressors of diminished health, helping to speed recovery and improve health.

Pea protein is naturally high in zinc, which also contributes to normal protein synthesis, blood testosterone levels, bone formation, vision, protecting cells from oxidative stress and supporting the immune system. Sufficient intake and absorption of zinc is needed to maintain proper vitamin E levels in blood and increase the absorption of vitamin A, both vital nutrients in support of optimal health.

Pea protein is also high in the amino acid Lysine, which helps muscles recovery faster after strenuous exercise. It also helps the body absorb calcium more efficiently improving bone health. Lysine also supports the production of carnitine which converts fatty acids into energy helping to alleviate fatigue and help reduce anxiety.

Most exciting is that it does not create any gastro-intestinal discomfort, often experience by people ingesting other protein sources, also ing it ideal for the ill and malnourished, often plagued with a compromised gut integrity.
