Benefits of Pea Protein

Protein is a macronutrient and one of the major nutrients our bodies need. It is found throughout the body in muscles, organs, skin, hair, nails, and bones. Protein plays a crucial role in the growth, repair, and maintenance of muscle mass. Dietary factors, aging, pregnancy, and physical activity can all increase the amount of protein required.

Proteins are composed of amino acids. When proteins are digested, they break down into amino acids. While there are hundreds of amino acids, our bodies only require 20 of them. Most amino acids can be produced by our bodies, but nine must be obtained from food.

 

Pea Protein is an excellent plant-based source of protein. It contains essential amino acids, including branched-chain amino acids that aid in muscle growth and repair. Moreover, it is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and cholesterol-free.

 

Benefits of using Pea Protein powder:

  • Supporting the natural repair and maintenance cycle of muscle mass.
  • Maintaining the natural protective lining of the digestive tract.
  • Being easy to digest, thanks to its lactose and gluten-free composition.
  • Providing energy to fuel the body and promoting a feeling of satiety (fullness).
  • Containing many nutrients found in plants, such as B vitamins, calcium, iodine, iron, omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, and zinc.

Aglow Pea Protein has the added benefit of Probiotics and Prebiotic to support gut health:

Gut health is vital not only for nutrient digestion but also for supporting the immune system, hormone regulation (which can affect mood and sleep), and the health of our skin, hair, and nails, often referred to as the "window to our gut."

Our gut houses trillions of bacteria known as gut flora, which need to be maintained in a healthy balance to effectively carry out their various roles in the body. Signs of an imbalanced gut can include bloating, irregular bowel movements, reflux, and gassiness.

 

Aglow Pea Protein contains both prebiotic and probiotics to support a healthy gut, including:

  • Prebiotics from Jerusalem Artichoke, a fiber that nourishes gut bacteria and promotes digestive health.
  • Five different strains of probiotics (live "good" bacteria) that support gut health and contribute to healthy skin, hair, and nails.
