Pea Protein Isolate is a natural vegetable protein derived from peas. It's considered one of the best protein sources for vegans and vegetarians. Pea protein contains all nine essential amino acids that your body cannot create and must get from food. Pea Protein is derived from yellow peas, providing a highly digestible and bioavailable protein powder. It is 80% protein by weight, a very high ratio which makes it more concentrated than other vegan sources of protein. It’s typically used to increase the protein content of smoothies and shakes and is a great fit for almost any diet since it’s naturally vegan. Pea protein is a high-quality protein and a great source of iron.
