ALPHAZER® PEA PROTEIN ISOLATE Dietary supplement ProEarth ® Pea Protein (from Pisium sativum ) - 23 servings Protein is an essential macronutrient for many physiological processes in the body, including muscle growth and repair. They can be found in many sources of animal origin and for athletes who want to improve their muscle mass it is essential to supply the body with the correct amount of protein. Per those who are careful not to consume animal sources, or simply follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, a valid vegetable alternative to animal Protein is given by isolated pea Protein. The raw material used for the production of these protein powders is ProEarth® certified yellow pea, one of the richest protein legumes: the protein fraction is concentrated using a water-based process, to obtain a delicate and natural.
What is PEA PROTEIN ISOLATE? Alphazer® Pea Protein Isolate is the protein powder made from 100% ProEarth® quality pea protein isolate, a vegetable alternative to the most common protein supplements such as whey protein or egg white protein. In recent years the incidence in the population of intolerances, adverse reactions to food, swelling and malabsorption has been growing continuously. Whey can cause digestive problems and with them the formation of annoying gas, just as other animal protein sources frequently cause, in sensitive individuals, a feeling of bloating and abdominal tension. Various undesirable effects can therefore derive from this type of source, and it is therefore understandable the need to find alternative sources of protein to obtain this precious macronutrient in the correct quantities.
A valid option is to use the protein powder obtained from peas, to complete vegetable meals, drinks or snacks. Despite being a vegetable protein source, Pea Protein Isolate is a very high quality supplement , suitable for anyone who wants to increase their daily protein intake: it contains all 9 essential amino acids (valine, phenylalanine, threonine, methionine, tryptophan, isoleucine, leucine , histidine and valine), essential for the body to perform important functions. In particular, there is a good amount of lysine, usually absent in vegetable sources, and leucine. They are therefore Protein with excellent anabolic Energy, among the best plant sources to maximize muscle protein synthesis. Although peas have a low methionine content, one can easily compensate for this by including brown rice in one's diet.
They are also easy to digest : even if the pea is a legume, and therefore naturally rich in fiber and starch which slow down digestion, the protein powder obtained loses most of the fiber, making it digestible (95-98%), even if with slow, allowing good absorption and allowing the establishment of a sense of satiety. Depending on when you plan on taking your protein, choosing pea protein may be beneficial just before bed as it will help promote a slower, more sustained process, releasing a steady stream of amino acids throughout the night . This feature makes Pea Protein Isolate an excellent alternative to caseins.
Unlike soy, whey or cheese , peas are not allergens : allergic reactions to this food are in fact very rare. In fact, the protein powder of peas is naturally gluten-free and lactose-free. People who suffer from these intolerances or allergies can therefore use pea protein products without problems. Benefits of our supplement Why Choose Pea Protein Isolate:
Directions Add 2 ½ scoops (30g) to 250ml of water and take once a day. Be sure to shake the product carefully so as not to create lumps.
The use of this type of protein is recommended for snacks, breakfasts and to complete vegetable meals. They are also functional in the evening before bedtime to take advantage of the prolonged amino acid release.
