BioTechUSA Vegan Protein 2000 g: 19 g Plant-Based Protein per Serving
Vegan, but delicious! 19 g of protein per 25 g serving, entirely plant-based: BioTechUSA Vegan Protein combines pea and rice protein with added L-glutamine and L-arginine and a superfood trio of quinoa flour, goji berry powder and açaí berry powder. One serving provides 106 kcal, 3.3 g carbohydrates (sugars under 0.5 g) and 2.0 g fat. You drink the shake after training, or in the afternoon on rest days. The 2000 g pack makes 80 servings.
Why Vegan Protein is worth it
-
19 g protein per serving: 74 g protein per 100 g, purely plant-based
-
Pea and rice protein: two protein sources; rice protein contains cysteine and methionine, pea protein is rich in lysine, and together they give a more complete essential amino acid profile
-
Added amino acids: 1390 mg L-glutamine and 650 mg L-arginine per serving
-
Superfood trio: quinoa flour (1.6%), goji berry powder (1.1%) and açaí berry powder (0.6%)
-
Sugar-free, lactose-free and gluten-free: based on shakes prepared with water (sugar-free: under 0.5 g sugars per 100 ml), gluten-free in accordance with European Union regulations
-
No preservatives or colourings: GMO-free and aspartame-free, sweetened with sucralose
-
80 servings in five flavours: per 2000 g pack with less plastic; Chocolate Cinnamon, Vanilla Cake, Forest Fruit, Banana and Hazelnut
Your benefit in training
-
Entirely plant-based, 19 g protein: Made from pea and rice protein: 19 g protein per 25 g serving (74 g per 100 g) with 106 kcal and less than 0.5 g sugars, completely free of animal ingredients.
-
A small boost for muscle mass and strength: Additional protein can complement your strength training: a meta-analysis of 49 studies (1,863 healthy adults) showed a small average gain in fat-free mass (around 0.3 kg) and in strength (around 2.5 kg in the one-repetition maximum).
-
Plant-based compared in studies: With sufficient total protein intake, a meta-analysis of 18 studies lasting at least 6 months showed on average no differences between plant protein (mostly soy) and animal protein in strength and lean mass.
-
Extra amino acids, five flavours: 1390 mg L-glutamine and 650 mg L-arginine per serving; 80 servings per 2000 g pack in Chocolate Cinnamon, Vanilla Cake, Forest Fruit, Banana and Hazelnut.
What the research says: The evidence on plant protein is thinner than for milk protein and is based mainly on soy. In a meta-analysis of 30 studies, muscle mass with plant protein was on average slightly lower than with animal protein (small effect), while there was no difference in strength. For soy, no difference to milk protein was seen; for other plant proteins such as rice, oat or potato the disadvantage was larger, although this came from only five studies. No conclusions can be drawn from this specifically about the combination of pea and rice protein. As with any protein, the effects are small and apply in combination with strength training and sufficient total intake.
The background
According to BioTechUSA, the two protein sources complement each other: pea protein is rich in lysine, while rice protein has a higher methionine and cysteine content. L-glutamine plays a role in the body's nitrogen balance, and L-arginine is involved in the formation of nitric oxide. Quinoa is a plant-based protein source that contains all the essential amino acids, and açaí and goji berries provide antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. For vegans and vegetarians, the formula offers a complete source of protein.
What protein does
- Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass.
- Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass.
How to use Vegan Protein
Stir 1 serving (25 g = 3 level tablespoons) into 250 ml of water and drink it straight after training. On rest days, a shake in the afternoon works well. A shaker is ideal for mixing. The stated recommended daily intake must not be exceeded.
