All We Are Saying, Is Give Peas A Chance

The humble pea, it is not always associated with protein the way meat, dairy, and soy are, but it can actually be a great clean source of protein with amazing benefits.  Pea protein is vegetarian, vegan, helpful for people with food allergies, is gentler on the stomach and kidneys then other protein sources and contains some healthy building blocks worth considering.

Pea Protein contains:

  • An excellent Amino Acid Profile – the building blocks of body tissue
  • Lysine – an essential nutrient that the body does not produce naturally
  • Branched Chain Amino Acids – such as leucine, isoleucine and valine.
  • Iron – 30% of your daily requirement in one serving

Solle Naturals Solle Complete Protein mix contains pea protein as well as other all-natural ingredients to enhance stamina and improve performance.  It is the gold standard in protein supplements.

Pea Protein can be a much healthier alternative to Soy or Whey.  Many people are not aware that according to a report published on Mercola.com, up to 99% of soy is genetically modified and it also has one of the highest percentages of contamination by pesticides.  According to Men’s Health Magazine soy has been linked to testosterone imbalance, infertility, low sperm count, and increased risk of cancer.   Whey has been linked to kidney damage as well as digestive issues especially in those who are lactose intolerant.

Pea protein is also helpful in regulating blood sugar and is just as effective in aiding muscle recovery as any soy or whey based protein.  With all the benefits and none of the drawbacks of other types of protein, there is no good reason not to give pea protein a chance.
