Hydrolysed Pea Protein 1kg
High Performance Plant Based Protein.Hydrolysed Pea Protein
Hydrolysed pea is a newer form of pea protein and is sometimes also referred to as instant pea or clear pea protein.
We at NZProtein believe that this product may be better than regular pea protein as a post workout source of protein because the amino acids in hydrolysed pea protein may be digested and utilised by the body faster.
Hydrolysis is the process where pea protein is further processed with enzymes to break down protein chains into smaller units which are "pre-digested" by the body, meaning they may bypass digestion and be absorbed by the blood stream faster.
This product is partially hydrolysed which also improves the texture and renders the taste more neutral than regular pea protein.
Benefits
- Less bitter, less grainy, and improved taste than regular pea protein
- May have a greater rate of digestion and absorption than regular pea protein
- May be better than regular pea protein for post exercise muscle repair
- Plant based, lactose and gluten free.

How it's Made |
Pea isolate that's further processed with enzymes to break down protein chains. |
Golden peas are dried and ground, then mixed with water to remove the fibre and starch components. |
Taste and Texture |
Reduced graininess, improved taste compared to pea. |
Slight graininess, thicker mixing than whey. Typical for plant based. |
Speed of Digestion |
(Estimated). Faster digesting than regular pea protein. |
Plant proteins are slower digesting. |
Cost |
Slightly more than regular pea. |
Cheaper than hydrolysed pea. |
Usage |
May be better than regular pea protein for pre/post exercise protein shakes. |
Economical, all round plant based source of protein. |
Benefits of Pea Protein
Pea makes a great alternative to whey and has many benefits:
- Pea is vegan, hypoallergenic, and alkaline. Whey is not.
- Whey can cause some people to get bloating and upset stomachs, whereas pea is easily digestible.
- Plants proteins are slower digesting than animal sources so can make you feel full for longer and enable more prolonged absorption. This study has shown that slower digesting proteins can be more beneficial for long term muscle growth due to the way the body uses the amino acids.
- Pea may also help to lower blood pressure and with kidney disease. "In people with high blood pressure [it] could potentially delay or prevent the onset of kidney damage." Source.
- Pea contains minerals including iron, phosphorus, calcium, zinc, potassium and magnesium that can benefit your health.
- Pea may help to improve glycemic control and balance blood sugar levels when paired with other foods.
Samples
We have samples of our hydrolysed pea isolate here. Each sachet contains one serving (31.25g). Mix entire sachet with ~300-500ml of chilled water depending on desired taste and consistency.
Storage and Shelf Life
Hydrolysed proteins can be hydroscopic (absorb moisture) and absorb odours.
Store in a cool dry place and don't put wet/sweaty hands into the bag.
Please note that this product is processed in a facility that also handles milk, egg, soy, peanut, and gluten ingredients.
Place a Review on this product
Put it this way: normally I'd slosh out the dregs with water and drink that as well. With this, I can't bring myself to do that.
- love the texture when its been mixed
- High quality with a reasonable price
- Will definitely come back

Test Reports
Here at NZProtein we always strive to be the best at what we do. We invest heavily in research and development to have innovative products and the best flavours.
We stand firmly behind our products so we have commenced periodic batch testing of products by independent third party laboratories. These test reports will provide further evidence of the standards we adhere to.
Please note that we will not be able to test every flavour due to the costs - there are simply too many flavours and various batches manufactured. For example, in the NZ Whey alone we have over 20 flavours, so it is not practicable to test every flavour in every batch but we will periodically submit samples in various flavours for analysis.
