What is Pea Protein? Pea Protein is derived from yellow peas, providing a highly digestible and bioavailable protein powder. It is 80% protein by weight, a very high ratio similar to brown rice protein. This makes it more concentrated than other vegan sources of protein such as hemp and sacha inchi. This also means it has a higher amount of amino acids than other protein sources.
Per serving: 24g Protein  |  10g EAA  |  5.3g BCAA
How is it different? Pea Protein is rich in branched-chain and essential amino acids and it is especially high in Lysine. Lysine has been studied for its ability to help balance blood glucose₁, as well as its ability to increase muscle strength₂, and reduce anxiety.₃

Each serving of Pea Protein also contains 39% daily value of iron. Effects of iron deficiency include gastrointestinal disturbances and impaired cognitive function, immune function, exercise or work performance, and body temperature regulation₄. It's crucial to make sure your diet contains sufficient iron.
Pea Protein is ideal for building healthy muscles and connective tissues, improving athletic performance and maintaining proper iron in your diet.
