Vegan Protein Fermented by Shiitake Chocolate HazelnutVitakruid

Proteins are essential for our bodies, but they are even more important for athletes. The average protein requirement for people who exercise is higher than for those who do not.

Protein-rich food sources
Proteins consist of various amino acids, nine of which we must obtain from our diet. Both animal and plant-based foods contain proteins, but the quantity and quality can vary.

Animal proteins: generally contain all essential amino acids in the right proportions.
Plant proteins: sometimes lack certain amino acids, such as lysine in grains and methionine/cysteine in legumes.
Tofu and soy are exceptions, as they are naturally complete protein sources.

Plant-based diet? Eat a variety
To obtain a complete amino acid profile from plant-based foods, it is important to consume different protein sources throughout the day. By combining grains, legumes, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, and kernels, it is generally possible to get enough protein from your diet.

Vegan Protein
Are you not getting enough protein, or do you want to support your protein intake as an avid athlete? With Vegan Protein, you can make a delicious, creamy plant-based protein shake. Each shake provides you with 24 grams of high-quality protein.

Distinguished by fermentation
Vegan Protein is distinguished by FermentIQ™. With this unique technology, pea and rice proteins are fermented with the shiitake mushroom. This results in a better taste, increased absorption, and improved solubility.

Full, creamy taste
Unfermented plant proteins often have an unpleasant taste. Bitter, earthy, and cardboard-like tones make drinking a protein shake less enjoyable. Vegan Protein does not have this problem! The unique fermentation technology neutralises the intense flavour profile. This allows you to enjoy a shake with a mild taste and milkshake-like texture.

100% natural
Vegan Protein is only sweetened with the leaves of the stevia plant. It also contains a natural vanilla aroma.

Improved absorption and solubility
The fermentation process also ensures optimal absorption and good solubility. The innovative process delivers three key benefits:

1. Improved absorption due to less phytic acid
Peas and rice contain phytic acid, an antinutrient that can negatively affect nutrient absorption. Fermentation reduces the amount of phytic acid by up to 50%, allowing your body to better absorb the proteins from Vegan Protein.

2. Faster absorption due to smaller proteins
Fermentation reduces the size of the protein molecules, allowing them to be absorbed up to 35% faster than unfermented proteins. This means the proteins can be used more quickly for muscle building and recovery after training.

3. Better solubility due to smaller proteins
The smaller protein molecules also ensure better solubility. Vegan Protein is 2.5 times more soluble than unfermented pea and rice protein mixes. Compared to rice protein, it is even 8.5 times more soluble! Mix Vegan Protein with water or plant-based milk without clumping.

MycoTechnology™ is #1 in fermentation
MycoTechnology™ is the developer of FermentIQ™. They stand out for innovative and organic food processing, with an unparalleled focus on sustainability and quality.

Award-winning FermentIQ™
MycoTechnology™'s dedication was rewarded with a prestigious award in 2023. FermentIQ™ won the Health Innovation Award at the 2023 Food Ingredients Europe Innovation Awards.

Amino acid profile
Unlike many plant-based food sources, Vegan Protein contains a complete amino acid profile. This means it contains all 9 essential amino acids that your body cannot produce on its own. A whopping 39% of Vegan Protein consists of these essential amino acids (EAA).

BCAAs in optimal ratio
Vegan Protein contains the BCAAs leucine, isoleucine, and valine in the optimal 2:1:1 ratio. BCAAs make up 20% of Vegan Protein.
