VEGAN TRUE™
Vegantein Complete™
Pea
and
Rice Protein Powder
Vegans are often challenged because most plants don’t contain the right amounts of all the essential amino acids to provide a complete protein. Trying to combine proteins from
different plant sources is time consuming and may not result
in the protein ratios needed for the greatest health benefits.*

Proteins and Their Health
Benefits
Proteins are made of chains of
amino acids known as peptides.
Proteins are the essence of life.
They’re the major functional and
structural component of every
living cell in the body. Different types of proteins play different roles in the body, for example, enzymes are protein molecules
that act as catalysts for most of
our physiological processes, while
structural proteins are the major
building block of muscles. Other
proteins form our bones, teeth,
skin, tendons, cartilage, blood vessels, hair, and nails. Transport proteins are responsible for the flow of
nutrients into and out of the cells.*
Our bodies need protein to perform many basic functions, such
as building bones, moving muscles, and repairing tissue. Because
your body doesn’t store it the way
it stores fats or carbohydrates,

you need to eat protein every day.
Recent studies show that eating
more lean protein, including vegetable proteins like pea protein,
while cutting back on refined carbohydrates, may benefit heart
health, body composition, and carbohydrate metabolism. Diets with
increased protein and reduced carbohydrates have been shown to
improve glycemic regulation as
well.*
Choosing a Dietary Protein
The amino acid composition of
protein is the most important factor for choosing a dietary protein. Twenty standard amino
acids comprise practically all of
the body’s protein. Some of these
aminos can be synthesized from
other substances in the body,
while others—called essential
amino acids—must be obtained
from food. The goal is to eat quantities of the amino acids in optimal ratios to allow the production
of nonessential amino acids and
support the body’s own protein
synthesis.*
There are few vegetable sources of
complete proteins. Many vegetarians consume carbohydrate-rich
foods, such as grains, breads and
pasta, often at the expense of good
quality protein. Not only are these
not very high in protein, they are
limited in one essential amino
acid, lysine. While legumes such
as beans and peas have high supplies of lysine, they are limited
in the sulfur-containing amino
acids, methionine and cysteine.
For complete, well-balanced aminos, grains such as rice and peas
perfectly complement each other,
delivering all 20 amino acids.
They also offer additional benefits of being gluten-free or lactosefree and are not on the list of most
common allergenic foods.*
Convenience!
Powdered protein from rice and
peas is easy to use. You can easily
blend it into drinks and smoothies,
and add it to soups, stews, pasta,
and other dishes. You can also
add it to rice, oatmeal, and other
grains or any vegetable dishes. It
has a neutral taste and good solubility—an excellent way to give
your body the optimum nutrition
it needs. Vegan True™ Vegantein
Complete is a great way to boost
the protein in your diet.*
So whether you are a vegan who
wants to be assured of good quality protein in your diet, or a person
looking for ways to support heart
health and maintain balanced glucose levels, Vegan True Vegantein
Complete is an ideal addition to
your daily meals.*
