Plant Protein (Vegan)

Everyone is talking about protein these days, but it can be daunting and confusing to sort through all the protein powder options on the market and know which source you should trust to fuel your body. The doTERRA mission to pursue what’s pure is carried through all company products, including the scientifically studied ingredients sourced to create the quality offering of doTERRA Protein.

Description

Even if you’re careful with what you put in your body and intentional with your diet, you may not be getting enough of certain nutrients like protein. doTERRA Protein is formulated to supplement areas of modern diets that fall short in properly fueling your body. Protein is an important macronutrient and crucial for building muscle, managing appetite, and helping the body recover after exercise. Protein is also necessary for providing your body with energy and stamina to perform functions like building cells and supporting a healthy immune system response.

Reducing sugar consumption is also vital for improving your diet and overall health. doTERRA Protein is sugar-free and a great tool to use in a keto or other high-protein, low-carb diets.

Supplementing protein is especially important for those who live a vegan lifestyle, which is why doTERRA provides plant-sourced protein. doTERRA Plant Protein (Vegan) contains 21 grams of a protein blend, including pea, brown rice, pumpkin seed, sacha inchi, and flaxseed. When on a plant-based diet, it’s important to consume protein from a variety of sources to receive a profile of all 20 amino acids, and that’s exactly what doTERRA Vegan Protein delivers.

Each serving of doTERRA Plant Protein (Vegan) also contains seven grams of fiber to help manage appetite. It’s naturally sweetened by monk fruit and stevia. doTERRA Vegan Protein is made without GMOs, gluten, and soy.

Where you get your protein from matters, so choose a source you can trust, a company whose name—doTERRA—says it all: gift of the earth.

Amino Acid Profile

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Your body can create some amino acids, but others (called essential amino acids) you must get through diet. doTERRA Protein includes amino acids like histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.

The amino acid profile of a protein supplement determines its effectiveness in supporting muscle growth, recovery, overall health, and various bodily functions.

Here’s why having the right amino acid profile in a protein powder is important:

1. Muscle Protein Synthesis: Different amino acids play key roles in muscle repair and growth. Essential amino acids, particularly leucine, are vital for stimulating muscle protein synthesis.
2. Nutritional Value: A complete amino acid profile ensures all essential amino acids are present in sufficient quantities. This complete profile is particularly important for those who rely on protein supplements to meet dietary protein needs.
3. Digestibility and Absorption: The balance of amino acids affects how well protein is digested and absorbed. An optimal amino acid profile ensures the body can efficiently benefit from protein
4. Biological Value: Protein’s biological value (BV) is determined by its amino acid profile. Protein with a high BV is more effectively used by the body
5. Support for Various Functions: Amino acids are involved in numerous bodily functions beyond muscle building, including hormone production, immune function, and enzyme activity. A diverse amino acid profile supports these key functions
6. Recovery and Performance: For athletes and other active individuals, protein with a complete amino acid profile aids in recovery and enhances performance by reducing muscle soreness and fatigue
7. Health Benefits: Some amino acids, such as glutamine and arginine, have specific health benefits like supporting gut health and improving blood flow. A comprehensive amino acid profile ensures these benefits are realized
