Yellow peas are more commonly known as "split peas" and are used extensively in food preparation such as in soups & purees. Most commercially available protein powders are derived from soy, rice, eggs or dairy, which are often problematic for those with allergic dietary concerns. Prescribed Choice has chosen Pea Protein because it is a plant-based, hypoallergenic protein that yields is a high biological value (65.4%). The BV is an accurate indicator of the biological activity of protein. It measures 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. Through a clever extraction and purification process, our Pea Protein is concentrated from the normal level of 6% in fresh peas to 90% protein content! This unique process produces a protein powder that is highly soluble and easy to digest. Pea Protein is ideal for vegans, offers an excellent nutritional profile, is free of gluten, lactose, cholesterol and other anti-nutritional factors. Supplemental Facts:* Non-GMO * Hypoallergenic * 100% Gluten Free * Perfect for Vegans * 100% Cholesterol Free * 100% Plant-Based Protein * Highly Soluble & Easy to Digest * Source of Beneficial Amino Acids * Environmentally Friendly Source of Protein * Highly Suitable for Sustainable Agriculture

Protein Powders Products

Protein is essential for repair and growth of muscles. The nutrient also aids in weight loss. There are many different types of protein powders, including casein protein, soy protein and whey protein. Protein shakes and other sources of protein supplementation are excellent to provide more support to serious athletes and teens who are participating in competitive sports.

People who are out of shape and have just begun to work out may need the additional nutrition and energy boost provided by a good protein supplement. Those who have been working out for a while and wish to increase performance will also find the protein powders helpful. Additionally, people recovering from being injured can use the extra protein to promote healing. Protein shakes are also helpful for people who are switching from an omnivorous to a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle. No matter what your reason, choosing a high quality protein supplement is a great way to be sure of meeting all of your nutritional needs. Count on Vita Living to provide a wide variety of high quality protein shakes and protein supplements to suit your needs.

 

Health care professionals caution that no one should depend solely upon protein powder supplements for good nutrition. It is important for people of all ages and activity levels to strive to eat a well-balanced, nutritious, natural whole foods diet that is rich in high quality protein sources. Generally speaking, very serious athletes may need to go for more elaborate and complete protein supplements; however, if you simply wish to enhance your diet and your fitness, a less expensive choice is probably perfectly fine. 

Whey protein is very popular because it is a milk protein that dissolves easily in water, so people seeking a boost in proteins and amino acids can easily add it to their daily diet. Whey protein is a complete protein and contains a complete array of the nine necessary amino acids. It is important to realize that whey is a dairy product and not a strictly vegan choice. For people who prefer a vegan diet, soy protein is a good option; however, some users say it does not taste as good as whey protein and is harder to dissolve in liquid.
