Purpose-Driven Ingredients: What's in Vega Sport Performance Protein?

Every ingredient in Vega Sport Performance Protein beverage mix is purpose-driven and complementary, each playing an important individual role in enhancing a specific aspect of performance. Yet, when combined, the ingredients work synergistically to boost performance more significantly than the sum of the individual parts.

Vega Sport Performance Protein Features

Organic Sprouted Whole Grain Brown Rice Protein (98%)

Raw and sprouted for exceptional digestibility, our unique brown rice protein includes the bran, germ and endosperm of the whole rice grain. It is a complete and bioavailable protein (PDCAAS = 1) sporting a 96% correlation to whey protein and 98% correlation to human milk. Organically grown and produced via a proprietary, low temperature enzymatic biofermentation process, our rice protein is made without any chemicals, acids or solvents.

Organic Green Pea Protein

Pea is one of the best plant based sources of protein for human consumption due to its rich amino acid profile and bioavailability. Particularly high in pea protein is lysine, an essential amino acid that helps convert fatty acids into energy, reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol, enhances calcium absorption and promotes collagen formation. Our green pea protein is chlorophyll-rich, alkaline-forming, highly digestible and organically grown and processed.

Hemp Protein

Raw, alkaline-forming and complete, hemp protein contains all the amino acids, including all eight essential amino acids. Because it is comprised of primarily edestin and albumin, two of the most common types of proteins found in the human body, hemp protein is very easy to digest and assimilate. Clean and green, hemp protein is also a quality source of arginine, histidine, branch-chained amino acids and Omega 3 & 6 essential fatty acids.

Organic alfalfa juice protein

Our alfalfa juice protein comes from young alfalfa plants, harvested at their peak and gently processed to maintain optimal nutritional properties. A raw, alkaline-forming and easily digestible source of complete protein, alfalfa juice protein is rich in chlorophyll and xanthophyll and provides all the essential and non essential amino acids plus 21 vitamins and minerals including beta carotene, vitamin E, B vitamins, calcium, magnesium and zinc.

Spirulina

Exceptionally nutrient-dense, spirulina is a fresh water blue green algae that contains over 60% protein, among the highest of any food. Grown without pesticides or herbicides, spirulina yields 20 times more protein per acre than soybeans and 200 times more than beef. Raw, alkaline-forming and sporting a rich array of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, spirulina protects from oxidant stress, supports the immune system and reduces inflammation.

Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's)

Among the most vital for enhanced athletic performance are the essential branch chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine as they cannot be made by the body and must be acquired through food. BCAAs are also metabolized in muscle tissue, rather than in the liver for faster utilization and they are proven to increase strength, endurance and muscle synthesis, enhance recovery, reduce muscle soreness and inflammation and improve energy and mood. Glutamine. Proven to support and enhance recovery after training, glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in the body. Because your body will digest its own muscle to get glutamine, supplementing with this amino acid during times of heavy training or dieting is key to preventing muscle catabolism. Used in conjunction with proper training, glutamine can produce exceptional results in strength, muscle growth, and accelerated fat loss.

Digestive Enzymes

Vega's unique digestive enzyme blend was specially formulated to enhance the digestibility, absorption and overall nutrition of our ProVega plant-based protein blend. We included plant and bacterial based proteolytic enzymes, aminopeptidase and hemicellulase to help eliminate any side effects like gas, bloating and discomfort. It also helps reduce inflammation, speed up recovery after exercise, and maintain strength during workouts.
