Why Protein Works

Aging adults may benefit from dietary protein intake at 1.0 to 1.5 grams per kilogram per day,^1,2,3 which is above the recommended daily allowance (RDA), in order to preserve lean muscle mass and support muscle-building response to exercise.¹ 

Protein Supports Athletes

The International Society of Sports Nutrition recommends that athletes may benefit from consuming 1.2 to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight to support metabolic processes and repair.⁴ 

Protein Supports Satiety and Fullness

Athletes with glucose⁵ and weight-management⁶ challenges may benefit from protein supplementation. Satiety is part of the body’s complex system of appetite control and is involved in limiting energy intake.⁷ In randomized trials, pea protein was found to have similar satiating effects and reduced energy intake to the same degree as animal-derived whey protein.^8,9 One to three servings of Veg-E Complete Pro Chocolate provides a source of complete plant-based protein in the range where increased satiety has been reported.
 
Protein also plays an important role in cellular function and enzyme action while also supporting hair, skin, and nails.*

Benefits of Plant-based Protein Powder

The blend of organic pea protein, organic pumpkin seed protein, and organic sesame seed protein is a valuable source of several amino acids, including the nine essential amino acids.

The Essential Amino Acids

The human body cannot create essential amino acids, so they must be consumed through the diet. This product contains all nine essential amino acids. The essential amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine are considered branched-chain amino acids due to a particular side chain in their chemical structure. They are important for protein synthesis, recovery, and metabolic function.

Complementary Proteins

Most plant proteins contain insufficient levels of one or more essential amino acids. By pairing plant proteins together, they complement each other and bridge the gap that the other plant protein is lacking.
 

Organic Protein Blend

Veg-E Complete Pro Chocolate provides 15 grams of protein in a proprietary vegan, organic protein blend.

• Organic pea protein concentrate provides a unique vegan source of protein. This protein contains branched amino acids and lysine. Branched-chain amino acids are linked to muscle-building effects in humans.^8,9
• Organic pumpkin seed protein contains the sulfur amino acids methionine and cysteine. These are used in the translation process of messenger RNA, which results in building of proteins within the body.¹⁰
• Organic sesame seed protein contains the sulfur amino acids methionine and cysteine.¹¹*
