Proteins the building blocks

Adults need more protein than most realise — particularly active adults, older adults, and those eating predominantly plant-based diets where amino acid balance takes more thought. Five plant protein formulations across three product types: single-source pea protein, complete pea-and-yeast blends, and an essential-tier complete protein. All vegan. All third-party tested. All formulated to actually be useful rather than just to taste good.

Common Questions

Wellness Protein questions, answered.

  • Pea Protein Isolate vs Complete Protein — which one do I take? Depends on the rest of your diet. Pea Protein Isolate 85% is single-source pea protein. It has a complete amino acid profile but is slightly lower in methionine, one of the essential amino acids. For adults eating varied diets — including some grains, nuts, seeds, or other foods that contribute methionine — pea alone is more than adequate. Complete Protein (pea + yeast) combines pea with yeast protein, which is high in methionine. The result is a complete amino acid profile with PDCAAS 1.0 — the highest score for protein quality, comparable to dairy or egg. If protein supplementation is a meaningful portion of your daily protein intake (vegans, older adults, those on calorie-restricted diets, or those with limited dietary variety), Complete Protein is the more reliable choice. If you're using protein occasionally as supplementation to an already-varied diet, Pea Isolate is sufficient.
  • What's PDCAAS 1.0, and why does it matter? PDCAAS — Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score — is the standard measure of protein quality, combining amino acid completeness and digestibility into a single score. 1.0 is the maximum score. Dairy whey, casein, and eggs typically score 1.0; soy is around 1.0; pea alone is around 0.7–0.9 (depending on the source) because of the methionine gap; pea + yeast together reaches 1.0. The score matters for adults whose total protein needs are being substantially met by supplementation — at 1.0, every gram of protein from the supplement is being utilised efficiently. At 0.7, you'd need to consume more to get the same usable protein.
  • What's the difference between Complete Protein and Essential Protein? Both use the same core pea + yeast blend with complete amino acid coverage. Complete Protein is the standard formulation — fuller serving size, fuller formulation depth. Essential Protein is the essential-tier version — simpler, more accessible, designed for adults who want reliable daily protein without committing to the larger pack or fuller formulation. Both work; both are PDCAAS 1.0. Choose by your preferred serving format and price point.
  • How much protein do I actually need per day? Indian RDA is 0.8–1.0g per kg of body weight per day — adequate for sedentary adults. Most current research suggests adults across activity levels do better at 1.0–1.6g per kg per day, with active adults and older adults toward the upper end. Practical math: a 60kg adult needs 60–96g of protein daily; a 75kg adult needs 75–120g. Most adults eating mixed diets get adequate protein; vegans, older adults eating less, and those on calorie-restricted diets often fall short. A 25g scoop of Complete Protein provides ~20g of usable protein — a meaningful contribution to a daily target. Protein supplementation makes most sense when you've calculated your need and your diet falls measurably short.
  • Is pea protein really comparable to whey? For most purposes, yes — and the research has converged on this in the last decade. Whey is faster-absorbing and slightly higher in leucine (an amino acid that triggers muscle protein synthesis), which gave it an edge in older studies. Pea protein, particularly combined with yeast to close the methionine gap, performs comparably for muscle protein synthesis, satiety, and recovery from training in head-to-head trials. The main practical differences: whey requires dairy farming, contains lactose (a problem for the lactose-intolerant), and has a meaningful carbon footprint; pea + yeast is vegan, lactose-free, lower-impact. For adults choosing between them, the choice now is mostly about dietary preference, not nutritional performance.
  • Do I need to take protein after training? Less critical than the supplement industry has historically marketed it. The "anabolic window" — the idea that you must consume protein within 30 minutes of training — has been substantially walked back by current research. What actually matters: total daily protein intake, spread across the day in 3–5 servings of 20–40g each. Whether you eat that protein 30 minutes after training or 90 minutes after makes little measurable difference for most adults. The exception: athletes training twice daily, or those training fasted, where post-session protein supports recovery before the next session. For everyday active adults, consistency across the day matters more than timing precision.
  • Can I use these proteins for cooking or baking? Yes, the "raw" (unflavoured) versions are formulated for this. They can be added to: roti or paratha dough (adds protein without much flavour change), porridge or oats, smoothies, soups, savoury baking, energy bites, and pancake or dosa batter. The flavoured versions can be used in sweet baking and smoothies but their sweetener and flavour profile makes them less versatile. If you want maximum flexibility and intend to add protein to varied foods, choose raw.
  • Are these proteins safe for adolescents and older adults? Yes — both groups can benefit from supplementation, often more than middle-aged adults. Adolescents in growth phases have elevated protein needs (1.2–1.5g/kg) and often eat poorly; protein supplementation can help fill the gap. Older adults experience age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) starting around 50, with protein requirements rising to 1.2–1.6g/kg to slow decline. Both groups should ideally be guided by a paediatrician or geriatrician/dietitian respectively for total protein intake, but the proteins themselves are safe. Children under 12 should consult a paediatrician before regular protein supplementation.
  • What about kidney health? I've heard high protein is bad for kidneys. For adults with healthy kidneys, current research does not show that protein intake in the 1.0–2.0g/kg range causes kidney damage. The concern arose from research on adults with pre-existing kidney disease, where high protein loads can accelerate decline of already-compromised kidney function. If you have known kidney disease, consult your nephrologist before any protein supplementation. If you have no kidney disease and have normal blood work, protein intake at the recommended levels is well-tolerated. If you have a family history of kidney disease or risk factors, a routine creatinine/eGFR test is reasonable due diligence before starting daily protein supplementation.
  • How long can I keep protein powder once opened, and should I refrigerate it? Once opened, sealed properly, and stored in a cool dry place, protein powder typically remains effective for 3–6 months. Refrigeration isn't necessary but doesn't hurt. The two real concerns are: moisture exposure (causes clumping and potential microbial growth — use a dry scoop each time) and heat/sunlight (degrades some amino acids over time). Avoid storing near the stove or in direct sunlight. The "best before" date on the pack is conservative — properly stored protein after that date is usually still safe and effective, though may not be at peak nutritional value.
