How does the plant-based protein in this product support health?

Aging adults may benefit from dietary protein intake at 1.0 to 1.5 grams per kilogram per day,^1,2,3 which is above the recommended daily allowance (RDA), in order to preserve lean muscle mass and support muscle-building response to exercise.¹ The International Society of Sports Nutrition recommends that athletes may benefit from consuming 1.2 to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight to support metabolic processes and repair.⁴ Athletes and those with glucose⁵ and weight-management⁶ challenges may benefit from protein supplementation. Protein also plays an important role in cellular function and enzyme action while also supporting hair, skin, and nails.*

Why suggest Veg-E Complete Pro plant-based protein powder for your patients?

The blend of organic pea protein, organic pumpkin seed protein, and organic sesame seed protein is a valuable source of several amino acids including the nine essential amino acids. Veg-E Complete Pro provides 15 grams of vegan protein in a convenient, great-tasting shake.*

Organic Protein Blend

• Organic pea protein concentrate provides a unique vegan source of protein. This protein contains branched amino acids and lysine. Branched-chain amino acids are linked to muscle-building effects in humans.^8,9
• Organic pumpkin seed protein contains the sulfur amino acids methionine and cysteine. These are used in the translation process of messenger RNA, which results in building of proteins within the body.¹⁰
• Organic sesame seed protein contains the sulfur amino acids methionine and cysteine.*
