WHAT IS CROWN'S VEGAN PROTEIN +?
Crown's Vegan Protein+ is pure micronized pea protein, which is why its texture is unique, being very fine and not gritty at all. It is a unique product in the vegetable protein market due to its incredible texture and flavor, so much so that when you take it you do not believe that you are taking a vegetable protein.
In addition, we have counteracted the deficiencies that we find with vegetable protein sources (limiting amino acids) by adding some essential amino acids (EAAs) such as Lysine, Methionine, Threonine and also including the branched chain amino acids Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine in Sufficient quantities to achieve a complete aminogram and, therefore, increasing the biological value of the product until it is equal to that of protein sources of animal origin, such as milk proteins (Whey and/or Casein).
And it has been shown that the essential amino acid content (EAAs) of a protein modulates the increase in the rate of muscle protein synthesis, so when there is a low amount of EAAs, specifically leucine, lysine and methionine, it produces a lower anabolic response (Stefan, HM et al., AA. 2.018) which is why we have fortified the formula with the most important essential amino acids.

BENEFITS OF CROWN VEGAN PROTEIN
Being a fortified and also micronized pea protein, Crown Vegan Protein+ has greater solubility than other vegetable proteins, so it is digested quickly, so much so that it is almost comparable to whey protein (Whey ) (Overduin, J. et al., F&NR. 2015) and, thanks to this, it has been scientifically proven to be better than placebo and just as effective as Whey protein for adaptations and/or muscle gains (Babault , N. et al., JISSN. 2.015), recovery processes, etc.
And it is that not only the composition of essential amino acids (EAAs) is responsible for modulating protein synthesis, but also the digestion kinetics (digestibility) is very important, so much so that some vegetable proteins with a lower proportion of EAAs but with higher digestion kinetics, they activate muscle protein synthesis more than other slower animal proteins, although with higher EAA proportions (Jagüer, R. et al., JISSN. 2017).
For all this, Crown Vegan Protein+ is a perfect alternative to animal protein supplements, whether you are vegan or not and simply want another source of high-quality, allergen-free protein.
And like all Crown Sport Nutrition® products, and in this case even more so, with spectacular flavor, texture and digestibility.

HOW TO TAKE CROWN'S PEA-BASED PROTEIN
Mix 30 g of product (1 scoop or 1 sachet) in 300 ml of water and take preferably after training to stop protein catabolism and promote muscle anabolism. On non-training days take it as an additional source of protein.
AVAILABLE FORMATS
660 gr jar and 30 g single dose envelope.
