To give it a complete amino acid profile for maximum health benefits. Amino acids are divided into two categories: non-essential acids already found in our body, and essential amino acids. Essential acids are deemed as such because they cannot be synthesised or stored by our body, and are gained only by eating foods that contain them. A food that contains all nine essential amino acids is classed as ‘complete’. Achieving a comprehensive amino acid profile in a non-dairy product can be undoubtedly more difficult when using a singular source. True has blended three plant-based proteins together in order to create a complete amino acid profile that is superior to other single-source non-dairy supplements on the market. These essential amino acids, including BCAAs, are necessary for a range of bodily processes including maintaining muscle and energy production.

There is a common misconception that protein can only be consumed by eating meat, eggs and dairy. If you’re a vegan, you’ve probably heard the question ‘where do you get your protein from?’ more times than you can count. While animal products are a great source of protein due to the proteins found in their own bodies, it is entirely possible to get sufficient protein from plant-based sources. There are countless sources of easy-to-eat plant proteins available right at our fingertips. Some examples of foods naturally high in protein include nuts, legumes, beans, grains, rice, seeds and some fruits and vegetables. However, for those who are time poor, who aren’t sure how to prepare high protein meals, or have a smaller appetite, it may feel difficult to meet daily protein needs. True’s Plant Protein is an all-natural blend that offers a convenient and vegan-friendly solution. A unique blend of Australian faba bean, yellow pea and Netherlands pumpkin seed proteins it is 100% derived from plant-based sources. This makes it the perfect solution for vegans or those looking for a non-dairy alternative to whey protein. Boasting over 20 grams of protein per serve, it is an extremely easy, convenient and versatile way to boost your daily protein intake.

Yes. Protein helps repair and build muscle, which is why it’s helpful to consume protein in a shake or whole food source after you’ve worked out. Whether the protein comes from an animal or plant-based source, the components are the same: they are both made up of amino acids, just in different ratios. Consuming a surplus of protein is essential in providing your body with enough amino acids to continuously repair and rebuild muscle. A protein supplement can be the easiest, most convenient way to add protein to your diet. With an average of 20 grams per serve, Plant Protein provides your cells with the amino acids they need to synthesise the proteins that stimulate muscle growth. Using Plant Protein alongside an appropriate training program and a well-balanced diet including calcium-rich foods such as nuts, beans and leafy greens, will aid in lean muscle growth, recovery and overall athletic performance.

There is a lot of debate over this, as many plant-based proteins have an incomplete amino acid profile, which means they are missing one or more of the essential amino acids. However, True’s Plant Protein blend boasts a complete amino acid profile making it an excellent choice. As every one of our protein powders are 100% natural, whichever supplement you choose will be boosted by big health benefits.
