Protein is key to living well. The human body needs a significant amount of protein in relation to vitamin and minerals. Protein keeps body tissue healthy by building up, maintaining, and replacing
the tissues that compose our muscles, organs, and immune system. Proteins are composed of amino acids that, once consumed, are used individually by the body for a number of necessary functions, including the creation of enzymes and hormones. Alone, humans are only able to naturally produce about one-half of the necessary amino acids that are most important for sustained health. The rest must be derived from protein-rich foods.
ProPeas contains 12 grams of pea protein per serving (see accompanying chart on back). The fact that our bodies do not store all the protein that we require makes protein different than fat and carbohydrates. While the latter two can be drawn upon when needed, the same cannot be said for protein, which makes getting an adequate amount in our diets that much more important.
AIM ProPeas™ is an all-natural vegetarian protein source made from field peas. Unlike whey and soy protein, pea protein is not a major allergen. As such, it provides an alternative to most mainstream, animal protein sources that are high in fats and bad cholesterol. Field peas are high in protein, first and foremost, but they are also strong when it comes to low fat and high iron, select amino acids, and omega-3, -6 and -9 fatty acids. The peas found in ProPeas are grown in Canada, the world’s largest producer of nongenetically modified (non-GMO) pea crops. As nitrogen-fixing plants (plants that pull
nitrogen from the atmosphere), the peas require no chemical fertilizers, and the purification process for the peas includes clean membrane filtration, where the pea protein is filtered using only water. No harsh chemicals or solvents are used in the process.
