- Food source: Yellow split peas
What is Pea Protein?
Pea protein is a plant-based protein powder made from yellow split peas. It is known for being highly digestible and is a source of essential amino acids, including the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine and valine. Pea protein is naturally free from dairy, soya and gluten, making it a great option for those avoiding these foods.
Its mild, slightly earthy taste works well in smoothies, shakes and baked goods, providing a clean, plant-based protein.
What does Pea Protein do?
Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass and to the maintenance of muscle mass.
Why it's in Protein & Creatine Superblend
- Rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), especially leucine.
- A good source of lysine, which is often limited in cereals.
- High PDCAAS score.
- Hypoallergenic and well-tolerated, making it ideal for patients with dairy or soya intolerance.
- Contains arginine, supporting nitric oxide synthesis and muscle blood flow.
- Shown to reduce hunger and improve satiety.1
- Studies show comparable increases in muscle thickness and strength vs. whey in resistance-trained individuals.2
