Origin & History: Pea Protein 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 soy, rice, eggs, or dairy, which are often problematic for those with allergic dietary concerns. We’ve chosen Pea Protein because it is a plant-based, hypoallergenic protein that yields a high biological value (65.4%). 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.Through a clever extraction and purifi cation process, 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. Pea Protein is ideal for vegans, offers an excellent nutritional profi le, is free of gluten, lactose, cholesterol and other anti-nutritional factors.Benefits of Pea Protein• Non-GMO• Hypoallergenic• 100% Gluten Free• Perfect for Vegans• 100% Cholesterol Free• 100% Plant-Based Protein• Highly Soluble & Easy to Digest• Source of Benefi cial Amino Acids• Environmentally Friendly Source of Protein• Highly Suitable for Sustainable Agriculture |
