Basics Pea Protein Isolate

Protein is a very large nutrient that’s made up of smaller
substances called amino acids and they are one of the most important substances
in your body that helps to repair and maintain your body tissues.

For example, our muscles are formed from an intricate matrix
of protein fibers. Every flex, every bench press, and every movement of our
muscles is the result of these protein fibres working in synchronicity. These
muscle fibres are in a high state of dynamic motion in athletes and active
individuals as they are constantly broken down and rebuilt during exercise.
After intense workouts, the body is starved for protein, and in the absence of
additional protein intake, the body may start to leach protein away from
muscles, thus athletes and active individuals have higher requirements of
protein, as the body needs the building blocks to recover from this muscle
damage and initiate the process of building new muscle.

Supplementation with a suitable and complete protein source
helps prevent this breakdown of muscle protein, enabling individuals to retain
and build lean muscle mass and promotes adaptations in response to training and
facilitates the replenishment of energy stores and glycogen in muscle
post-exercise. Additional protein intake is also key to comprehensive muscle
recovery after endurance activities – studies have shown that protein aids in
the repair of muscle damage induced by high-intensity exercise [1].

Our Formulation:

Unived Basics Organic Pea Protein Isolate is a completely
vegetarian and vegan formulation that offers 20 grams of plant-based organic
pea protein

Unived Basic Organic Pea Protein is Non-GMO, sugar-free,
hypoallergenic, cholesterol-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and soy-free
supplement.

Mode of Action:

• Basic Organic Pea Protein Isolate: Helps build lean muscle
  mass and aids muscle recovery.
• BCAAs: Promote muscle growth and repair after strenuous
  activities like resistance training. They also promote energy metabolism as
  they are the only amino acids that are oxidized for energy during exercise [3].
  Increase the release of human growth hormone – creating a favourable
  environment in the muscles for protein anabolism and muscle growth [3].
• Arginine: Initiates protein synthesis and muscle growth.
  Promotes nitric oxide resulting in better muscle pumps and superior performance
  during high-endurance training [4]. Also reinforces the body’s immune system –
  which means better recovery after exercise, and protection against oxidative
  stress and inflammation resulting from aerobic exercise. [4]
• Glutamine: Replenish the nitrogen balance in the body
  leading to the growth of new muscle – rather than the burning of muscle tissue
  [5].
• Lysine: Increase the absorption of calcium by muscles, and
  aids in muscle recovery.
