Blessed Plant-Based Protein - EHPLabs

Blessed Protein is a plant-based, vegan friendly protein for dry muscle development and weight management. The unique blend aids recovery, increases performance and improves stamina. It comes in a delicious range of flavours, making it irresistibly easy for anyone to reach their protein goal!

Proteins are polymers of amino acids linked together via peptide bonds. They play a vital role in the function and regulation of the body's tissues and organs, including the synthesis of muscle proteins. The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of protein for healthy individuals is 0.8 g/kg/day. For optimal training adaptations, it has become increasingly clear that protein intake should be increased to a minimum of 1.4-1.6 g/kg/day. To meet these intakes, supplementation is useful.

Studies show that whey and pea protein produce similar results in measuring body composition, muscle thickness, strength production, performance and power. However, plant proteins are becoming increasingly fast-growing and innovative in the food industry because of their sustainable origins, economic costs and health benefits.

Blessed contains all essential amino acids and contains an unrivalled formulation of the finest 100% sustainable raw materials to bless your body by supporting general nutrient deficiencies and improving digestion. The unique blend of golden pea (bean) protein isolate is gluten-, soy- and dairy-free, making it suitable for all dietary requirements. Not to mention, the tubs are made from recycled materials.

Blessed is a healthy source of protein, for you and the environment!

PROMOTES MUSCLE GROWTH AND ENERGY PRODUCTION

Blessed contains essential and branched-chain amino acids that are metabolised directly in muscle tissue and are effective for skeletal muscle protein synthesis during and after exercise. They help replenish reduced energy levels and aid in the growth and repair of lean muscle tissue. Recent studies suggest that intake of BCAAs lowers the perception of exertion (RPE). Over time, reduced RPE helps support higher load, leading to more time to exhaustion. There are 20 amino acids, 9 of which must be obtained through diet:

• Methionine Helps in energy production and fat metabolism.
• Lysine stimulates muscle building.
• Tryptophan improves mood and pain tolerance.
• Threonine Plays an important role in heart health, strong bones and muscles.
• Phenylalanine reduces RPE, pain tolerance and improves mood. Histidine helps compensate for lactic acid build-up.
• Leucine plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and energy production. Isoleucine improves endurance, energy and muscle recovery.
• Valine is important for muscle growth, energy and recovery.

IMPROVED DIGESTION

Psyllium seed powder is added because of its potential benefits in terms of regularity and healthier lipid levels. Psyllium comes from the seeds of the herb Plantago ovata and is a well-known fibre supplement used to improve digestion and treat constipation. It also helps lower LDL cholesterol levels and lipid markers for heart disease.

MICRONUTRIENT SUPPORT

Iron is an essential element required by the body for the synthesis of oxygen transport proteins, especially haemoglobin and myoglobin. It helps in the formation of enzymes involved in electron transfer, oxidation reductions and DNA synthesis. Iron deficiency can lead to anaemia and neurodegenerative diseases.

On average, adults need about 1 mg - 1.5 mg of iron daily to be absorbed by the body. However, the body can only absorb a fraction of the iron in food. Statistics show that about a third of the world's population is iron deficient and one in eight people do not consume enough to meet their needs. This indicates the importance of iron intake and supplementation.
