Ingredient Breakdown
Pea Protein Isolate: Pea protein is a high-quality protein and a great source of iron. It can aid muscle growth, weight loss, and heart health. Pea protein powder is a high-quality protein rich in iron, arginine, and branched-chain amino acids. It’s digested and absorbed well and works with a variety of diets. Pea protein powder has various health benefits, including boosting muscle growth, increasing feelings of fullness, and promoting heart health.
Rice Protein Concentrate: Rice protein provides the body with nutrients called amino acids. The amino acids in rice protein might help to protect the body from too much sugar in the blood. They can also reduce blood pressure and blood fats.
Vitamin A: Vitamin A is the generic term for a group of fat-soluble compounds essential for human health. Having enough vitamin A in your diet helps keep your immune system healthy and functioning at its best. Adequate vitamin A intake from whole plant foods may reduce your risk of certain cancers, including Hodgkin’s lymphoma and cervical, lung, and bladder cancer. However, the relationship between vitamin A and cancer is not fully understood.
Vitamin C: Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps protect your cells against the effects of free radicals — molecules produced when your body breaks down food or is exposed to tobacco smoke and radiation from the sun, X-rays, or other sources. Free radicals might play a role in heart disease, cancer, and other diseases.
Thiamin: Thiamin (vitamin B1) helps the body’s cells change carbohydrates into energy. The primary role of carbohydrates is to provide energy for the body, especially the brain and nervous system. Thiamin also plays a role in muscle contraction and the conduction of nerve signals.
Riboflavin: Riboflavin reduces oxidative stress and nerve inflammation, contributing to migraine headaches. The vitamin is also needed for normal mitochondrial activities; mitochondrial abnormalities sometimes cause migraines in the brain.
Niacin: Niacin helps keep your nervous system, digestive system, and skin healthy. Niacin (vitamin B-3) is often part of a daily multivitamin, but most people get enough niacin from the food they eat. Foods rich in niacin include yeast, milk, meat, tortillas, and cereal grains.
Vitamin B6: Vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine) is essential for normal brain development and for keeping the nervous and immune systems healthy. Food sources of vitamin B-6 include poultry, fish, potatoes, chickpeas, bananas, and fortified cereals.
Folate: Folate (vitamin B-9) is essential in red blood cell formation and healthy cell growth and function. The nutrient is crucial during early pregnancy to reduce the risk of brain and spine congenital disabilities.
Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 is a nutrient that helps keep your body’s blood and nerve cells healthy and helps make DNA, the genetic material, in all your cells. Vitamin B12 also helps prevent megaloblastic anemia, a blood condition that causes people to be tired and weak.
Biotin: B vitamins, specifically biotin , help keep your skin, hair, eyes, liver, and nervous system healthy.
Pantothenic Acid: Vitamin B5 plays a role in the breakdown of fats and carbohydrates for energy. Vitamin B5 is critical to manufacturing red blood cells, as well as sex and stress-related hormones produced in the adrenal glands, small glands that sit atop the kidneys.
Choline: Choline is a nutrient that is found in many foods. Your brain and nervous system need it to regulate memory, mood, muscle control, and other functions. It would be best to have choline to form the membranes surrounding your body’s cells.
Calcium: Your body needs calcium to build and maintain strong bones. Your heart, muscles, and nerves also need calcium to function properly. Some studies suggest that calcium and vitamin D may have benefits beyond bone health: perhaps protecting against cancer, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
Iron: Iron is a mineral that the body needs for growth and development. Your body uses iron to make hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all body parts, and myoglobin, which provides oxygen to muscles. Your body also needs iron to make some hormones.
Iodine: Iodine is needed to make the thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine, which assist with the creation of proteins and enzyme activity, as well as regulate normal metabolism.
Magnesium: Magnesium is essential for many processes in the body. It is needed for muscles and nerves to work correctly, to keep blood sugar and blood pressure at the right level, and to make protein, bone, and DNA. Low magnesium levels over time can lead to low calcium and potassium levels.
Zinc: Zinc , a nutrient found throughout your body, helps your immune system and metabolism function. Zinc is also essential to wound healing and your sense of taste and smell. With a varied diet, your body usually gets enough zinc.
Selenium: Selenium supplements are promoted to offer several benefits, including boosting immune function, improving hair and nail health, and supporting a healthy thyroid. They sometimes combine with other antioxidant vitamins, such as E or C.
Manganese: Manganese helps the body form connective tissue, bones, blood clotting factors, and sex hormones. Fat and carbohydrate metabolism, calcium absorption, and blood sugar regulation are also affected. Manganese is also necessary for normal brain and nerve function.
Chromium: Chromium is an essential trace mineral that can improve insulin sensitivity and enhance protein, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism. It is a metallic element that people need in tiny quantities.
Molybdenum: Molybdenum is a mineral that you need to stay healthy. Your body uses molybdenum to process proteins and genetic material like DNA. Molybdenum also helps break down drugs and toxic substances that enter the body.
Sodium: The human body requires a small amount of sodium to conduct nerve impulses, contract and relax muscles, and maintain the proper balance of water and minerals. We are estimated to need about 500 mg of sodium daily for these vital functions.
Potassium: Potassium is found naturally in many foods and as a supplement. Its primary role in the body is to help maintain normal fluid levels inside our cells. Sodium, its counterpart, maintain normal fluid levels outside of cells. Potassium also helps muscles to contract and supports normal blood pressure.
Stabilized Flaxseed: Flaxseed is one of the world’s oldest crops. Research shows it lowers the risk of some cancers, helps maintain a healthy weight, and reduces cholesterol and blood pressure. One serving provides a good amount of protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Pomegranate Extract: Test-tube studies have found that pomegranate extract may reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the arteries, lower blood pressure, and help fight atherosclerosis — plaque buildup in the arteries that can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
Betaine Anhydrous: Betaine — also called betaine anhydrous or trimethylglycine (TMG) — is a substance made in the body. It’s involved in liver function and cellular reproduction and helps make carnitine. It also helps the body metabolize an amino acid called homocysteine.
Lemon Bioflavonoid Complex: Citrus bioflavonoids aren’t just a complement to vitamin C that enhances the antioxidant’s health benefits. Citrus bioflavonoids support balanced immune cell activity for better immune response and support for respiratory health. Increasing the intake of bioflavonoids helps prevent free radicals from causing harm to the body.
Quercetin: Quercetin may help protect against heart disease and cancer. Quercetin can also help stabilize the cells that release histamine in the body, thereby having an anti-inflammatory and antihistamine effect.
Potassium d-glucarate: Potassium hydrogen-glucarate is a fully water-soluble ingredient for simple and effective use in liquid, stick packs, and effervescent applications.
Turmeric Extract: Turmeric — especially its most active compound, curcumin — has many scientifically proven health benefits, such as the potential to improve heart health and prevent Alzheimer’s and cancer. It may also help improve symptoms of depression and arthritis. It’s a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine: N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a supplement form of cysteine. Consuming adequate cysteine and NAC is essential for various health reasons, including replenishing the most potent antioxidant in your body, glutathione. These amino acids also help with chronic respiratory conditions, fertility, and brain health.
Ginger: Gingerol , a natural component of ginger root, benefits gastrointestinal motility ― the rate at which food exits the stomach and continues along the digestive process. Eating ginger can reduce fermentation, constipation, and other causes of bloating and intestinal gas.
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM): MSM may help reduce joint pain, lowering inflammation, improve skin health, decrease allergy symptoms, and speed recovery after exercise. Additionally, some evidence suggests that MSM can boost the immune system and may have cancer-fighting properties.
Sodium Sulfate Anhydrous: Sodium sulfate anhydrous is an electrolyte replenisher used in isosmotic solutions so that administration does not disturb average electrolyte balance and does not lead to absorption or excretion of water and ions.
Green Tea Aqueous Extract: Green tea extract can promote weight loss, blood sugar regulation, disease prevention, and exercise recovery. It can also help keep your skin and liver healthy, reduce fat blood levels, regulate blood pressure, and improve brain health. You can consume it in capsule, liquid, or powder form.
