Ingredients explained
Pea protein isolate
Provides a complete source of amino acids that supply building blocks for muscle proteins and enzymes.
Caution: Contains naturally occurring sodium; those limiting sodium may want to account for the 320 mg per serving.
Branched-chain amino acids (Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine)
BCAAs are used directly by muscle to support muscle protein synthesis and reduce muscle protein breakdown during exercise and recovery.
Caution: High single doses on an empty stomach may cause mild stomach discomfort; taking with liquids can improve tolerance.
L-Arginine
Acts as a precursor to nitric oxide, which may help support blood flow and nutrient delivery to working muscles.
Caution: Those monitoring total protein or amino acid intake should include this amount in their daily tally.
How they work together
Pea protein isolate supplies the full spectrum of amino acids, while the higher levels of BCAAs focus on muscle protein synthesis during and after workouts. Arginine supports nitric oxide production, complementing protein delivery by supporting blood flow and nutrient transport.
