Reasons to Use Plant-Based Protein
Plant-based protein is vegan-friendly and contains essential amino acids, nutrients, and of course protein.
Plant-based protein powders are derived from various types of plants — commonly brown rice, pea, soy, and hemp. Depending on the brand, a powder may be made from one type of plant or a combination of plants
Plant-based protein can come from many different sources such as Pea protein, sunflower seed protein, pumpkin seeds protein, brown rice protein, and much more.
With different varieties of protein sources, you get in more & different types of amino acids, nutrients, and protein; nourishing the human body with these unique-healthy nutrients.
Many plant-based protein powders contain micronutrients such as antioxidants, vitamins, fiber, and minerals that are essential for your body.

Pro's of Plant Based Protein
--> Plant-based proteins tend to be lower in calories and fat than animal proteins but higher in fiber and essential nutrients. By swapping plant proteins for animal proteins, you can reduce your caloric intake and boost your daily nutrient profile.
--> Plant protein sources build muscle and aid recovery as well or are better than whey, but they can also improve our health, deliver a broader range of beneficial nutrients, and are much better for the environment.
--> Men who follow plant-based diets have testosterone levels that are basically the same as the levels in men who eat meat, a study shows. This finding dispels a widespread notion that men need large amounts of animal protein in order to support healthy levels of this hormone.
--> Plant-based proteins can be a better option for those who experience bloating and gas from their current whey protein powder. This is mainly because of lactose, a milk sugar found in whey protein that can cause side effects of flatulence and painful bloating in many people with food sensitivities.
--> In fact, studies have shown that whey and plant-based protein powders are equally effective at promoting muscle hypertrophy, or muscle growth, as long as they contain similar amounts of protein and BCAAs per serving
Animal Based vs Plant-Based Protein
Plant proteins have a reduced content of essential amino acids in comparison to animal proteins. A significant reduction of limiting amino acids (methionine, lysine, tryptophan) means lower protein synthesis.
BEST VEGAN-PLANT-BASED PROTEIN
--> Add 1 scoop of Vintage Bounty™ to 12-16 fluid ounces of cold water or your favorite beverage. Shake or blend for 20-30 seconds and enjoy. Take one serving during the day: post-workout on training days, and any time on rest days. You can also take a second serving before bed to support muscle repair and recovery while you sleep.
--> Pea Protein
Pea protein is rich in eight essential amino acids: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. This protein is easily absorbed by the body.
--> Brown Rice Protein
Brown rice protein supports protein synthesis and helps build muscle mass. It is also gentle on digestion.
Pumpkin Seed Protein
Pumpkin seeds contain all nine essential amino acids and are especially high in lysine, leucine, and arginine.
--> Sunflower Seed Protein
Sunflower seeds are a complete protein, containing nine essential amino acids to support muscle growth and recovery.
