Low Glycemic Index

VITAPEAS is Pea Protein, derived from yellow peas. Yellow peas commonly known as “split peas” and are used extensively in food preparation since tens of thousands years. Most available protein powders are derived from soy, rice, eggs, or dairy, which are often problematic for those with allergic dietary concerns. We’ve chosen Pea Protein for our VITAPEAS because it is a plant-based, hypoallergenic protein that yields a high biological value (65.4%). The BV is an accurate indicator of the biological activity of protein. It measures the actual amount of protein deposited per gram of protein absorbed. High BV proteins are a better choice for increased nitrogen retention, enhanced immunity and IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor stimulation). They are superior for reducing lean tissue loss from various wasting states than proteins with a low BV score.
