Pea protein isolate
Milk proteins such as whey protein and casein protein are particularly popular. They taste good and have excellent nutritional value. However, not everyone tolerates these proteins equally well. For people with an allergy or intolerance, Pea Protein Isolate is a good alternative protein supplement.
Much-needed variation?
With prolonged use of large quantities of the same type of protein, it is possible that the body develops an allergy to it. At least this is what some strength sports gurus claim. We have not yet come across any scientific references for this.
If the above is indeed correct, then Pea Protein Isolate offers a good variation on whey and casein proteins. The content of BCAAs and other essential amino acids in pea protein is quite high. This means that the human body can handle pea protein well for muscle maintenance or building.
Special amino acids in pea protein
Pea protein isolate is a vegetable protein with a high content of essential amino acids. In particular, the essential 'branched chain amino acids' (BCAAs) are very well represented at over 20%. The high content of essential amino acids and BCAAs makes pea protein suitable for athletes and people on a protein diet.
Furthermore, pea protein is rich in the amino acid (L-)arginine. It contains about 2 grams of arginine per scoop. That is about 4 times more than in the popular whey protein.
The amino acid arginine can support health in many areas. In addition, this amino acid contributes to good athletic performance and stimulates fat loss.
There is increasing evidence that L-arginine reduces fat storage in overweight people and animals. Studies show that administering extra L-arginine promotes the growth of mitochondria.
In addition, the development of brown adipose tissue is promoted, which makes it easier to get an athletic body.

recommended use
general : mix 1 scoop of Pea Protein Isolate (25-30 gram) with 250-300 ml milk, fruit juice or your own favourite liquid.
When mixing with water, 300-350ml water is needed because Pea Protein becomes thicker in water than with milk. Use refrigerated water for an optimal taste.
high protein diet: take 1-1,5 scoop of Pea Protein Isolate with a serving of vegetables which becomes a nutritious low-carb meal. Use a maximum of 3 scoops a day.
sport: take 1 - 1,5 scoop of Pea Protein Isolate before and/or after your training or when your regular diet is low in protein. Use a maximum of 3 scoops a day.
