pea protein

What is Pea Protein Isolate: Protein extracted from split peas, which is done by removing the shells and milling it into a powder. It’s low in sugar, low in carbohydrates, dairy-free, gluten-free, and rich in iron, arginine and branched-chain amino acids.

brown rice protein

What is Brown Rice Protein: To convert brown rice into powder form, the rice is treated with select enzymes, causing the protein and carbohydrates to separate from one another. From there the protein can be isolated and made into powder. Brown rice protein features a number of essential amino acids and is also dairy-free and gluten-free.

Benefits of Pea Protein & Brown Rice Protein

Muscle growth: Vegan-friendly proteins can work as effectively in helping you build muscle as the alternative meat derived proteins when essential amino acids are present. Muscle growth can contribute to your body’s endurance levels, and in turn help you power through those longer workouts.

Muscle recovery: As important as muscle building after a tough workout. Vegan-friendly proteins contain a branched-chain amino acid named leucine, essential for protein synthesis (muscle recovery)!

Healthy Weight Management: Plant-based proteins such as pea and brown rice help keep you feeling full, for longer. Which means you'll be supported in your effort to cut calories and avoid junky-snacks between meals.

Digestion/ Metabolism Support: Pea and brown rice proteins are extracted and isolated to supply your body with quick, easily digestible protein.

Nervous System Support: Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid found in plant proteins and is a precursor to several important neurotransmitters responsible for carrying messages throughout the body.

Everyday Immune Health: Brown rice protein contains essential vitamins and minerals such as iron, which helps support a healthy immune system. While pea protein contains the amino acid lysine, which also works to support healthy immune function.

Environmentally Friendly: Plant-based proteins are generally better for the environment than meat based alternatives. Both pea and brown rice proteins have a significantly lower carbon footprint than meat derived proteins, so you can feel good about the protein you’re fueling your body with!

Vegan + Vegetarian Friendly: Plant-based proteins are derived solely from plants, meaning no animal products are used in the process. When looking for a vegan or vegetarian friendly option you can feel good about, pea and brown rice proteins!
