Protein + Amino Acids

How are we different?

We only use ingredients grown without the use of plant protection products in our vegan protein powders. This protein blend consists of protein- and nutrient-rich seeds (with their naturally occurring dietary fibres) with the addition of select amino acids. This combination results in a natural and completely plant-based protein complex containing eight essential amino acids (isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine), with an expanded range to include important amino acids and peptides for those following a vegan diet: taurine, lysine, glycine, carnitine and creatine.

The hand-picked, finely balanced blend of 7 gently ground, natural powders of brown rice (80% protein), mung beans (80% protein), peas (80% protein), hemp seeds (between 50 and 65% protein), pumpkin seeds (60% protein), sunflower seeds (50% protein) and brown linseeds (30% protein) results in a plant-based complex with a total protein content of 37%, complemented by fibre-rich guar gum and konjac-derived glucomannan. The pure and pleasantly creamy blend of select plant-based protein powders is rounded off with the natural mineral concentrate Concentrace® from the Great Salt Lake in Utah. Since this lake has no outlets and is actually considered an inland sea, the water is particularly rich in minerals and trace elements which have been deposited over thousands of years. Concentrace® is extracted from the mineral-rich, purified water of the lake via a special evaporation process. It contains 72 naturally occurring ionic minerals and trace elements and is 99% sodium free.

This complex fills potential gaps in the essential amino acid profile which can result from a purely plant-based diet, as well as gaps in some important amino acid-like compounds such as taurine, carnitine and carnosine. Despite partial endogenous production of carnitine from the amino acids L-lysine and L-methionine and of creatine from the amino acids glycine and methionine, deficiencies can quickly occur due to their rare occurrence in plant-based foods.

Without exception, our amino acids are obtained via fermentation or ultra-pure organic synthesis (such as in the case of Creapure®), without the use of animal products such as gelatine, hair or feathers. Moreover, due to the production of these natural amino acids from renewable raw materials, we are not contributing to environmental pollution—the synthetic production of amino acids is heavily criticised by environmental organisations because the process tends to contaminate surrounding bodies of water.

The L-lysine and carnosine contained in this powder are from an environmentally friendly fermentation of non-GMO corn. We also use ultra-pure, pharmaceutical grade taurine and glycine, L-carnitine in the form of bioactive L-carnitine tartrate and creatine monohydrate from Creapure® in Germany.
