This Vital Protein in Chocolate flavour contains 18 amino acids; the same as whey protein powder. This plant-based alternative is easy to digest and this one is a delicious chocolate flavour. The source of the protein is top quality European golden peas, which provide the basis of this very digestible and non-bloating formulation. A lack of protein in the diet can be the cause of such health issues as blood sugar instability, low mood, bloating and weight gain. This powder which can be added to smoothies, juices and baking recipes is a simple and healthy way to increase your protein intake which is essential to many bodily functions such as enzyme and hormone production, tissue repair, cleansing and immune system support. Unlike most dairy based protein powders, this is an alkaline supplement and can, therefore, assist with detoxification processes, assimilation of nutrients and calcium and magnesium preservation. This is a low-carb and low GI supplement, and is therefore very satisfying, keeping you fuller for longer.
