MARCH 15, 2023 PEA PROTEIN

There are many protein drinks available to the consumer. I use a variety of prescription based ones from Mutagenic and Orthomolecular. In addition I love Sun Warrior from Whole Foods where it contains pea, hemp and brown rice protein

Pea protein has become one of the most popular protein options in the plant-based world. And for some good reasons: It reduces land use and greenhouse gas emissions, it’s relatively inexpensive, and advocates say that it can provide significant health benefits.

Some states that “ Plant protein are not complete and do not build muscle. I disagree.

Many studies have shown that pea protein produces similar results to an animal-based protein when it comes to athletic performance and fitness results. This finding validates the lived experience of many plant-based athletes as well. Another reason to use pea vs meat protein is that pea protein doesn’t form harmful compounds in your digestive system. Meat — in particular, red meat — promotes the formation of TMAO, a nasty compound associated with the development of multiple inflammatory conditions

Another reason to use pea protein is this. Pea protein is better for gut health and weight management than whey protein. For example, it can support the growth of two types of beneficial gut bacteria: Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria

There are pros and cons to everything in life. Get the facts and make a decision. Pea protein is not right for everyone as whey protein is not right for everyone ( especially for those with dairy sensitivity or Type O blood )

Until tomorrow…
