Pea protein (Pisum sativum)
Synopsis
Pea protein is a high-quality plant-based protein extracted from yellow peas (Pisum sativum). It is rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), particularly lysine, and is known for being hypoallergenic, easily digestible, and free from common allergens like dairy, soy, and gluten. Pea protein supports muscle maintenance, satiety, and metabolic health. It is often used in sports nutrition, weight management, and vegan diets to enhance protein intake without gastrointestinal distress.
