Introducing Vega Sport Performance Protein: A broad spectrum formulation of synergistic, complementary plant-based ingredients, each chosen with a specific purpose in mind. Taken regularly in conjunction with exercise, Vega Sport Performance Protein will help strengthen, tone, repair and regenerate your body for improved health and performance.

Formulated by Brendan Brazier, professional Ironmantriathlete and bestselling author on performance nutrition, Vega Sport Performance Protein:
-Improves exercise performance
-Maintains strength during workouts
-Increases muscle protein synthesis
-Develops and maintains bone strength
-Assists in muscle cell repair after exercise
-Reduces inflammation, soreness and fatigue
-Reduces length of recovery between training
-Provides immune support following exercise

Whereas most protein powders are acid-forming, causing inflammation that reduces muscular strength, endurance and functionality and slows recovery; Vega Sport Performance Protein is 100% plant-based, alkaline-forming and provides a complete balanced array of essential and non essential amino acids. And did we mention it tastes great and mixes instantly in water too?

Key Ingredients:
Organic Sprouted Whole Grain Brown RiceProtein. Raw and sprouted for exceptional digestibility (98%), 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.

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-chainedamino acids and Omega 3 & 6 essential fatty acids.

Organic alfalfa juice protein. Our alfalfa juiceprotein 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 isa freshwater blue green algae that contains over 60%protein, among the highest of any food. Grown withoutpesticides or herbicides, spirulina yields 20 times moreprotein 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 (BCAAS). Amongthe 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 musclesynthesis, 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. Our unique digestive enzyme blend was specially formulated to enhance thedigestibility, absorption and overall nutrition of ourProVega plant-based protein blend. We included plantand 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.
