VegeMeal®-DF: Featuring plant-derived protein Peatein™
PaleoMeal®-DF is made with Peatein™ – a natural food-grade pea protein concentrate offering a high level of functionality and nutritional benefits. Using a patented protein technology, the production process does not use any chemicals. The raw materials, North American grown yellow peas, are not genetically modified (non-GMO).
Peatein™ has an excellent array of amino acids, including high levels of BCAAs (branched chain amino acids). While its amino acid profile is similar to whey protein, it is particularly high in arginine, leucine, lysine and tyrosine. Peatein™ is a true vegan protein which has excellent digestibility (98%) and is hypoallergenic.
As pea protein has ACE inhibitory activity, it may have a positive effect on the maintenance of normal blood pressure levels.[1] It has also been shown, in rat studies, to have a positive impact on total cholesterol and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) by stimulating bile acid formation and excretion.[2]
Additional Highlights of PaleoMeal®-DFNatureFolate™ – natural vitamin folates that are found in foods such as spinach and are immediately “active” and bioavailable to the human body.
Creatine MagnaPower® for energy reserves – stabilized creatine plays an important role in the maintenance and regeneration of ATP, and helps to increase muscle mass, strength and endurance. Vegetarians appear to have lower tissue creatine concentrations, since creatine is mostly found in animal foods such as herring, pork, beef, salmon and tuna.
Vanilla VegeMeal®-DF contains no sucrose, fructose, or artificial sweeteners, and is naturally sweetened with the herb stevia.
