Pea Protein 80 is a 100% natural vegetable protein source. It is the concentrated natural protein fractions of golden peas. Protein Works Pea Protein has an excellent amino acid profile, close to that of both milk and egg protein sources.
Pea Protein 80 is low in fat, carbohydrates and cholesterol and is 100% gluten and GMO free. Pea Protein 80 is ideal for vegans, vegetarians and those with lactose intolerance. It is also perfect for those looking to add an additional quality protein source to their diet.
Pea Protein 80 from Protein Works is sourced from the finest peas and offers a natural food source for anyone following a vegan diet or looking to consume less dairy/meat food sources. It contains no added sugar and because it is dairy, wheat, gluten and lactose free, it is ideal for a wide range of people with food intolerances.
Pea Protein 80 is one the highest grade plant based protein sources available, with over 80% pure protein content per 100g (dry basis). It naturally includes an abundance of branched chain amino acids, arginine and lysine. Its purity means it only contains 1.5g of carbs per serving and just 1.6g of fat. As protein shakes go, this is right up there with the best.
As this is a plant-based protein, it is important to remember that it has a very earthy taste and texture and won't compare to a dairy protein shake for creaminess and full on taste - if that's what you're used to consuming. We just want to make that clear from the get-go.
Pea Protein 80 is a lean, green machine for so many reasons. A few of these are outlined below for you:
Pea Protein is ideal as a tasty protein shake any time of day to stave off hunger cravings. It also can be taken after physical activity to allow your body to absorb the high quality protein, vitamins and minerals and supply your muscles before they become fatigued and depleted. We recommend taking a shake within 30 minutes of your workout or exercise, but don't worry if you forget being able to maintain protein levels is fine to consume at any time of day.
Pea Protein 80 is generally consumed by individuals on a vegan or vegetarian diet, but if you don't fit into that category don’t let that put you off. Pea Protein 80 is becoming very popular for everyone due to its pure protein content, low carbs and low. It's suitable for no matter what body goal you have in mind, whether that be building mass, losing fat or simply toning up.

Q. Is all pea protein isolate the same, regardless of which brand it is?
A. As with so many things in life, if you don't ask the right questions, you won't get the right answers! The quality of protein can vary significantly and therefore the protein content will do too. In addition, just because a product may be called Pea Protein Isolate it doesn't mean that it only contains plant-based protein. We recommend you read the ingredients and nutritionals on the label to better understand exactly what you are buying. We can assure you that our Pea Protein 85 is purely pea protein isolate.
At Protein Works we are committed to transparency and openness in all our products and that is why we provide the following information on all our protein products:

Q. How can I tell if the protein I use is a good quality protein?
A. Key signs to look for are the level of protein declared on the label. Look for pea protein isolate with a minimum of 85%.
Q. What does "dry basis" and "as-is" mean when talking about protein content?
When you see a protein powder that states on the label the protein is given as "dry basis " this means that the moisture present in the powder is included in the total protein value. Moisture in dry protein powders are typically around 4%. However, when a protein supplement is stated "as-is" this means the actual protein content of the powder with the water content excluded. In other words, the true protein you will be consuming.
As protein prices have increased significantly over recent years due to the large demand in the sports nutrition sector, some brands may not give you all the facts in regards to the true level of protein in their products. At Protein Works we believe in transparency to give you the utmost confidence when choosing your protein supplements. On all our protein products you will see both the as-is and dry-basis values declared. Once again, it's all about knowing what to look for.
