We asked our clients to leave animal food products behind because of the antibiotic, heavy metal and hormonal contaminants contained in meat and whey, and step away from rice and soy protein because of the anti-nutrients, digestion-inhibitors and xenoestrogens contained therein. But this left a huge protein gap – protein is necessary for both growth and healing. Pea Protein Isolate ticked all the right boxes – cost-effective, alkalising and non-inflammatory, versatile, non-GMO, grown in an environmentally-friendly manner and processed only with water. No chemical, no bleaching, no heavy metals. There are many benefits to using pea protein. However, the main ones are that it is easy to digest and assimilate, therefore aiding in faster muscle recovery and that is hypo-allergenic. Furthermore, the specific pea protein we have sourced is not processed or extracted using any chemicals and is therefore the ‘cleanest’ protein available.
