Clean Lean Protein Rich Chocolate

Why a pea protein supplement?

Protein is an important building block in the body. For instance, the Dutch governmental guidelines advice a daily protein intake of 50 grams, at a daily reference consumption of 2000 kcal per day.

Protein is required to keep the body healthy. For one, there are 9 essential amino acids that the body cannot make and therefore must come from food. Protein is also needed to maintain muscle mass. Additionally, the protein requirements are higher in times of growth. Children require sufficient protein for the normal growth and development of the skeletal system. In athletes, protein contributes to a quick recovery after training and maintenance of muscle mass.

However, some people don't want to use an animal source of protein or are unable to tolerate it. Whey protein isolate, for example, is not always tolerated well by those with a sensitivity to milk proteins or sugars. This can cause physical discomfort, such as flatulence.

Pea protein is a vegetable protein and is naturally free of allergens. Pea protein isolate is well digested and absorbed by the gut. These properties make pea protein a suitable protein source for everyone, even when other protein isolates cause physical discomfort.

Why NuZest Clean Lean Protein Rich Chocolate?

NuZest Clean Lean Protein is a vegetable protein powder made from European golden peas (Pisum sativum). Golden peas are naturally rich in protein and contain a complete profile of essential amino acids.

Produced responsibly and allergen-free
The peas are grown in France and are processed in a state-of-the-art Belgian facility into pea protein isolate with the use of environmental-friendly, water-based extraction methods. No organic solvents, hexane, and denaturing heat treatments are used. The pea protein is damaged as little as possible.

The facility does not process food products that are common sources of allergens, such as shellfish, peanuts, nuts, milk, and gluten, making Clean Lean Protein completely allergen-free. NuZest Clean Lean Protein is also free of added carbohydrates and sugars, making it a pure protein supplement that contains at least 90% protein.

Better protein absorption due to fewer anti-nutrients
In NuZest Clean Lean Protein anti-nutrients that reduce protein absorption and can cause inflammation are removed. For example lectins, phytates and trypsin inhibitors.

• Lectins are a part of the plant defence system and can cause inflammation in the gut by making the gut lining 'leaky.'
• Phytates are a part of the plant defence system and can bind to minerals, thereby preventing their absorption.
• Trypsin is a protein digestion enzyme. Reducing trypsin function makes it harder for the body to digest and absorb proteins properly.

Rich Chocolate flavour
NuZest gives Clean Lean Protein a chocolate flavour by adding cocoa powder, natural vanilla flavour and stevia. This makes it a good fit for sweet smoothies or pastries to add extra chocolate flavour and protein.

NuZest Clean Lean Protein is also available with the following flavours:

• Just Natural

• Smooth Vanilla
