Product Review

Pea protein is a natural, vegetable-based protein powder derived from yellow peas. Yellow peas are more commonly known as "split peas" and used extensively in food preparation such as in soups & purees. Most commercially available protein powders are derived from soy, rice, eggs, or dairy, which are often problematic for those with allergic dietary concerns. Pea Protein is a plant-based, hypoallergenic protein that yields a high biological value. The BV is an accurate indicator of the biological activity of protein. It measures the actual amount of protein deposited per gram of protein absorbed. High BV proteins are a better choice for increased nitrogen retention, enhanced immunity and IGF-1 stimulation. They are superior for reducing lean tissue loss from various wasting states than proteins with a low BV score.
