Pea Protein is a vegetable protein source rich in essential amino acids, yet is a well-kept secret.

Made from yellow split peas, non-hydrolyzed Pea Protein is:

• Easily digestible and absorbable
• Free of soy, gluten, and lactose
• Well-tolerated by most individuals

Its amino acid lineup is surprisingly comparable to the best animal protein sources.

Its high biological value — or measure of the quality of the protein — makes it especially helpful for helping to restore muscle mass after a strenuous workout.

Pea Protein is nutritious, delivering a substantial supply of beneficial amino acids and large amounts of essential amino acids isoleucine, valine, arginine, and lysine.

Hemp seed protein is a nutritional powerhouse and an excellent source of protein.

Hemp has a broad range of amino acids, digests easily, and has a balanced ratio of essential fatty acids.

The fatty acids in hemp seeds are present in the ideal ratio, contributing valuable plant-based omega-3, -6, and -9 fatty acids.

Two main proteins in hemp seed protein, albumin, and edestin, are rich in essential amino acids with profiles comparable to soy and egg white. Hemp’s edestin content is among the highest of all plants.

While soy may have a higher overall protein content, hemp protein may be easier to digest because of its lack of oligosaccharides and trypsin inhibitors, which can affect protein absorption.

One of the original superfoods of the Americas and a highly prized staple of the Aztec diet, chia was valued for the energy, vigor and staying power it offered this ancient civilization’s warriors.

A very early form of fast food, Native American Indians packed the seeds for long trips, adding water to them at mealtime. The seeds would expand from the liquid, providing not only energy for their travels but a feeling of fullness, too.

Chia seeds contain 18 amino acids, including all the essential amino acids.

When chia seeds are milled, they remain gluten-free and take on a delightfully nutty taste. And they contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid.

Researchers believe that natural food sources of ALA may help support heart health, and help counteract less-than-desirable effects of excess linoleic acid (LA) from processed fast foods.
