Pea Protein
Overview
Vital Mood Yellow Pea Protein contains a premium source of pure, natural pea protein.
Vital Mood Yellow Pea Protein is derived from non-GMO peas and is soy, dairy and allergen free. It’s easy to digest and contains no artificial sweeteners or sucralose. Basically, it’s just 100% pure pea protein.
Peas are well known for being a rich source of highly bioavailable protein. Pea Protein yields a high biological value (BV) or 65.4%. The BV is an accurate indicator of the biological activity of protein, measuring 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.
50-Plus Reasons You Need Quality Proteins
As we age, our body's ability to maintain muscle mass is reduced by several coinciding physiological changes that include changing hormones, our muscle's reduced response to protein intake, and the common decrease in physical activity. The resulting condition of muscle wasting is called, "Sarcopenia".
Ensuring you consume an adequate amount of quality proteins is vitally important if you are over 50, as this is when most begin to notice difficulty maintaining muscle tone. The condition is amplified if you are over 65, and especially pronounced if you follow a vegan/vegetarian.
100% Natural Unflavored, Unsweetened Pea Protein is perfect if you are looking for a high-quality protein source to provide the essential amino acids required to build and maintain muscle. It is also an ideal protein contributor to any Mechanical Soft Diet recipes.
One-Thousand-and-One Uses
Pea protein is a perfect supplement for bodybuilders looking to change up their protein source and introduce their body to something other than whey and milk based protein derivatives. In addition, pea protein can be used in the kitchen to add healthy vegetable protein to baked goods, cookies, smoothies, and anything else you can think up.
