We are pleased
to launch Pea Protein, which as the name suggests, is a protein
product sourced from peas. By a clever process of extraction and
purification the protein is concentrated from the normal level of 6%
in fresh peas to 90% in this product! This unique process produces
protein that is highly soluble and therefore easy to digest and absorb.
We
specifically chose peas as the source of protein because the amino
acid profile is excellent - it is rich in 'branched chain amino
acids' (leucine, isoleucine and valine) and is richer in arginine
than any other commercially available protein. Arginine is involved
in the immune system response to challenges and also plays a part in
weight control. It also means that it is free from wheat, gluten,
dairy products, eggs, soya and animal products.
We think you
will find it an invaluable protein product, especially for those
clients who are recovering from illness and/or have low appetites. It
is also particularly suitable for sports enthusiasts since muscle
mass can only be increased if the diet provides enough protein. And
it can be used as a high protein meal replacement for slimmers.
The powder has
a mild, pleasant, slightly savoury taste so it is perfect for adding
to soup or sprinkled on cereal. It can also be blended with fruit
such as a banana to make a fruit smoothie.
