Great-tasting vegetarian protein powder
PurePea™, a natural pea protein concentrate, offers a high level of
functionality and nutritional benefits. It is ideal for those who are
looking for vegetarian protein and may not want dairy derived protein.
PurePea™ is a true vegan protein which has high bioavailability,
excellent digestibility, and is hypoallergenic.
The raw materials, North American grown yellow peas, are not genetically
modified (non-GMO). PurePea™ is extracted from these dry peas via a
patented protein technology which uses no chemical solvents.
Amino Acid Profile
PurePea™ has an excellent array of amino acids, including high levels of
BCAAs (branched chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine).
While its amino acid profile is similar to whey protein, it is
particularly high in arginine, lysine, and phenylalanine. Its
well-balanced profile fulfills the essential amino acid requirements
outlined by the World Health Organization for adults.
Excellent Digestibility
PurePea™ has excellent digestibility, a distinct advantage over other
vegetable protein isolates, as it does not contain the commonly
occurring anti-nutritional factors of other legumes (i.e., soy), mainly
trypsin inhibitors, phytates, lectins, tannins, and α-galactocides. (The
presence of high levels of these anti-nutritional factors can cause
substantial reductions in protein digestibility.)
Benefits of Peas
As pea protein has ACE inhibitory activity, it may have a positive
effect on the maintenance of normal blood pressure levels. It has also
been shown, in rat studies, to have a positive impact on total
cholesterol and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) by stimulating bile
acid formation and excretion.
When compared to other vegetables, the yellow peas used in PurePea™ have
low levels of phytosteroids (isoflavones), thus minimizing the possible
estrogenic effects.
PurePea™: great protein source for athletes and anyone who is physically active
Due to its favorable amino acid profile and high digestibility, PurePea™
is an excellent choice for consumption before, during, and after
exercise. Adequate intake of protein, in particular BCAAs, helps to
promote muscle growth and repair, particularly after strenuous
resistance training.
Hypoallergenic
The pea protein in PurePea™ is not a major allergen, and is, therefore, a
safe alternative for people with allergies to milk and milk products
who must avoid casein or whey proteins, for those with lactose
intolerance, and for vegetarians with soy allergies.
