Pea Peptides 1kg

NZProtein's Pea Peptides is pea protein powder that's been fully hydrolysed into peptides, meaning that the protein can be absorbed by the body nearly immediately and doesn't need digesting.

It may also be better suited for those with a sensitive stomach or digestion issues.

This product is processed with enzymes to break down protein chains into smaller units which are "pre-digested", meaning that they bypass digestion and are absorbed by the blood stream very quickly.

Pea peptides is an ultra specialised plant protein product best suited for vegans and non vegans alike. It has several unique properties over other protein powders, namely:

Superior Digestibility

• Easier absorption - hydrolysis breaks down protein into smaller peptides and amino acids, allowing them to bypass digestion and be aborbed by the blood stream very quickly.
• Reduced gastrointestinal distress - it may be suitable for those with a sensitive stomach or digestion issues. It may also cause less bloating or discomfort compared to less processed protein forms.

Enhanced Bioavailability

• Faster amino acid delivery - the smaller peptides are rapidly absorbed, which is beneficial for muscle recovery and repair after exercise.
• Efficient utilisation - provides a high-quality source of amino acids, including essential amino acids and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs).

Hypoallergenic

• Reduced allergenic potential - hydrolysis reduces the presence of intact allergenic proteins, making it suitable for those with sensitivities or mild allergies to pea protein.

Versatility in Formulations

• Improved solubility - fully hydrolysed proteins are more soluble, making them ideal for use in beverages, soups, or other liquid applications.
• Different taste - hydrolysed peptides often have a less earthy taste compared to standard pea protein, making them more appealing in various recipes. **Please note that this product is very strong tasting on its own and does need diluting a lot in water. So while it has no earthy taste please note that it can be very bitter if not diluted enough.

Supports Muscle Recovery

• Rapid post-workout recovery - the quick absorption of peptides helps deliver amino acids to muscles swiftly, which is crucial for recovery and reducing muscle soreness.

Weight Management

• Satiety benefits - like other proteins, hydrolysed pea protein helps promote feelings of fullness, aiding in appetite control and weight management.

Plant-Based and Sustainable

• Vegan-friendly -a great alternative to animal-based proteins like whey or casein, catering to vegans and vegetarians.
• Environmentally sustainable - pea crops benefit soil as they belong to the 'nitrogen fixing' category, meaning they provide an abundant and sustainable source of nitrogen into the soil.

Gluten and Dairy-Free

• Suitable for special diets - for those with gluten intolerance, celiac disease, or lactose intolerance.

Taste and Mixing

Due to hydrolysis this product is naturally bitter and needs more liquid than other protein powders. Mix two scoops (31.25g) in a minimum of 600-1000ml of water or other liquid. If you find it bitter then add more liquid. In saying that, it doesn't have the earthy taste of typical pea protein so it can be used in other applications that regular pea protein can't. For example - as tomato juice!

Suggested Use

Consuming high quality protein at regular intervals throughout the day can encourage a positive nitrogen balance, aid recovery, and help to increase metabolism.

Depending on your nutritional requirements take 1-3 servings daily at breakfast, between meals, post workout, or before bed.

Please note that this product is processed in a facility that also handles milk, egg, soy, peanut, and gluten ingredients.
