Pea Protein Facts

Pea protein is a plant-based protein extracted from yellow peas (Pisum sativum). In isolate form, pea protein contains all nine essential amino acids, like leucine, isoleucine, and valine, which are critical for building and repairing tissues, supporting enzyme and hormone production, and promoting nutrient absorption.

Key Benefits of Pea Protein:

  • Supports muscle protein synthesis and recovery after exercise by providing essential amino acids.
  • Provides amino acids that support collagen and elastin synthesis as part of overall protein nutrition.
  • May support satiety and supports healthy weight management as part of a balanced diet.
  • Dairy-free and soy-free, making it suitable for many restricted diets.

Why it Matters:

Dietary protein intake, especially plant protein, in midlife, is associated with higher odds of healthy aging.Ā¹
Adults naturally lose 3ā€“8% of muscle mass per decade after age 30, making protein intake key for healthy aging.Ā²
Plant-based diets are growing, highlighting demand for high-quality plant proteins.Ā³
