THE GOOD BEHIND PLANT PROTEIN
PEA PROTEIN
This protein is very high in levels of BCAAs, arginine and lysine. It is a complete protein that contains all 9 essential amino acids. Research has shown, that pea protein can aid in muscle recovery, growth and strength on par with whey protein. Pea protein also has studies showing that it can help with weight loss through its’ reduction in ghrelin levels. The health-conscious consumer should know, that it has been shown to promote heart and kidney health as well.Ɨ
SUNFLOWER PROTEIN
Similar to pea protein, sunflower protein is a complete protein comprised of all 9 essential amino acids. Since it is lower in lysine, it’s a great compliment to pea protein’s high lysine content. Also, like pea, sunflower protein is rich in arginine, which can promote heart health and better blood flow through increases in nitric oxide levels.Ɨ
PUMPKIN SEED PROTEIN
Pumpkin seed protein is rich in heart healthy magnesium as well as the micronutrients, zinc and iron. One unique aspect of pumpkin seeds is their high level of omega 3 fatty acids, which can help in reducing inflammation as well as improving mood and digestion. Pumpkin seed protein is also rich in chlorophyll content, which does help to alkalize and cleanse your body.Ɨ
BROWN RICE PROTEIN
This is another complete protein source which has strong scientific literature backing it when it comes to head to head comparison with whey protein. Recovery and soreness, muscle growth, change in body composition (reduction in bodyfat) and strength improvement were all statistically on the same level between the whey protein and the brown rice protein group.Ɨ
C8Vantage™ MCT POWDER
C8Vantage™ utilizes a special extraction process that removes the majority of C10, C12 and long chain fatty acids leaving pure caprylic acid (C8). Caprylic acid has been shown to be the fatty acid most responsible for increases in ketone bodies with the consumption of MCT oil. This helps to provide a maximum ketogenic effect resulting in increased energy, mental clarity, appetite control and performance.Ɨ
