Yamamoto® Nutrition EndoPRO is a plant-based food supplement formulated with isolated pea proteins, providing a suitable alternative for adults seeking plant-derived protein sources. This product is designed to meet the dietary preferences of vegetarians and vegans.

Pea Proteins: Pea proteins have emerged as a viable plant-based alternative to more traditional protein supplements like whey and egg white proteins. The raw material for pea protein production is the yellow pea, a legume known for its richness in protein. The manufacturing process involves concentrating the protein fraction using a water-based method, resulting in pea protein isolate—a fine powder with a light yellow color.

Advantages of Pea Protein Over Other Sources:

1. Low Saturated Fat, Extra Calories, and Cholesterol: Unlike meat and eggs, pea protein is free from saturated fat, excess calories, and cholesterol.
2. Digestive Friendly: Pea protein is known for easy digestion, without causing bloating or gas commonly associated with whey protein. Some whey supplements may also contain non-dietary ingredients.
3. Allergen-Free: Pea protein is not an allergen, making it a suitable option for individuals with allergies to soy, whey, milk, or gluten. It is naturally lactose-free and gluten-free.
4. Complete Amino Acid Profile: Pea protein contains all essential amino acids required by the body, offering a complete and balanced protein source.
5. No Estrogenic Compounds: Unlike soy, which contains compounds that mimic estrogen, pea protein is free from such concerns.

Given the potential side effects associated with other protein sources, individuals often turn to plant-based alternatives like pea protein powder. Pea protein provides a clean, allergen-free, and nutritionally rich option for those looking to supplement their protein intake, contributing to a well-rounded and plant-centric diet.

What are the benefits?

Despite the initial prejudices, motivated by old interpretations of protein quality (such as those related to biological value, now surpassed by more reliable indices such as PDCAAS), pea proteins have shown interesting nutritional properties such as:

• contains all 9 essential amino acids ; in fact, it contains all nine essential amino acids: valine, phenylalanine, threonine, methionine, tryptophan, isoleucine, lysine, histidine and leucine. The body needs these nine amino acids to perform important functions in the body. Although a pea is low in methionine, this can easily be compensated for by adding brown rice to the diet. For all intents and purposes, pea is an excellent source of vegetarian protein.
• easy digestion ; being a legume, a pure pea contains high levels of fiber and starch which make it difficult to digest. Pea powder, meanwhile, loses much of its fiber and starch when processed, making pea powder easier to digest.
• free of allergens ; Unlike soy, whey, milk and cheese, pea is not an allergen and allergic reactions related to it are extremely rare. Pea protein powder also does not contain gluten like many grains and is naturally lactose free. People who avoid dairy or gluten allergens can definitely drink and eat pea protein powder drinks and meals.
• slow digestion ; Pea protein is known to be digested much slower than whey protein, but faster than casein. Depending on when you plan to eat protein, choosing pea protein can be helpful just before bed as it will help Promote a slower, longer process to release a stream of amino acids while you sleep, making it a great alternative to casein protein.

EndoPRO based on pea protein, is a high quality and easily digestible supplement for all those who wish to increase their protein intake. It is rich in a range of amino acids that help promote muscle growth, reduce exercise-induced stress, and increase satiety.
