You know the importance of protein. Protein is a key macronutrient that is essential to your complete health and wellness, but often finding clean, quality protein can be a challenge. The majority of the protein consumed in the United States today is riddled with bad fats, antibiotics, and artificial growth steroids and hormones that negatively impact our health.
Even for those consuming grass-fed, organic, and pasture raised meats, protein can be difficult to digest due to low enzyme production, low stomach acid, or impaired/damaged digestive tracts. This can lead to bloating, constipation, and acid reflux after consuming high-protein meals.
Unfortunately, these symptoms can cause many individuals to avoid eating protein, but avoidance can result in serious health problems. Humans need large amounts of protein because it is made up of individual amino acids that are used throughout our bodies to maintain good health and overall bodily function.
Trouble digesting protein? How can you get your amino acids?
If you avoid protein because of digestive issues, you may be wondering how you can possibly give your body the amino acids it needs to repair muscle, build tissue, and support cellular function.
The answer is simple – but essential.
Protein enhanced with superior digestive enzymes can help relieve the symptoms of digestive upset while encouraging amino acid breakdown, ensuring you get the post out of every scoop of protein.
Mother Earth Labs Organic Veggie Protein and Grass Fed Whey Protein is made with 250 mg (87,500 HUT) of Prohydrolase® – a proprietary, protein-specific digestive enzyme complex designed to:
- Break down protein into smaller peptides and amino acids
- Improve the body’s ability to utilize protein for muscle growth and repair
- Reduce digestive discomfort associated with high-protein intake .
The Science: Third-Party Study
In third-party studies, our Grass-Fed Whey and Organic Veggie Proteins consistently show superior hydrolyzation (broken down into individual amino acids) compared to other protein supplements. These studies compared one ounce of our protein containing Prohydrolase® to one ounce of protein without the enzymes.
The results show that the protein with the Prohydrolase® sample was nearly 100% hydrolyzed in less than 10 minutes (the first measure point).
The control sample without Prohydrolase® showed that even after 90 minutes (the last measure point), only a small amount of protein had been hydrolyzed.
These results are absolutely incredible.
Here is what the researchers are saying:
“It is interesting to note the group who conducted the study also conduct many of these types of studies on many different protein powder supplements. They supported the fact that protein powders without enzymes are not hydrolyzed well and some better than others depending on the enzyme blend used. They were also surprised at how well Mother Earth Labs Grass-Fed Whey and Organic Veggie protein products performed and further stated the finding on the activity of the special protease and peptidase enzyme group were remarkable compared to other enzyme blends they have studied.”
Importance of Digestive Enzymes
The addition of enzymes to help digest protein in supplements definitely has its advantages, but not all enzyme groups are created equal. It is very important to have the right type and variety of enzymes included. At Mother Earth Labs we are always looking for the best of the best, so we chose this blend for its proven efficacy in hydrolyzing specific types of proteins.
Multiple Benefits
Our enzyme group is not only effective in breaking down proteins, but also helps reduce gastric distress, digestive discomfort, and the occurrence of protein putrefaction within the gut. This comprehensive digestive enzyme complex includes:
- Amylase 3500 DU
- Protease 2 AP
- Invertase 400 SU
- Protease 21000 HUT
- Glucoamylase 5 AGU
- Diastase 1500 DP
- Protease 4000 PC
- Protease 50 SAPU
- Lipase 500 FIP
Our insistence on quality and performance doesn’t end with enzymes. Every ingredient in both our whey and veggie proteins were carefully chosen to provide maximum health benefits without harmful byproducts or questionable effects.
Grass-Fed Whey
Our whey protein begins with a unique blend of whey isolate and concentrate from grass-fed cattle. It provides 22 grams of highly bioavailable protein that is so pure it’s virtually lactose free, carbohydrate free, fat free, and cholesterol free.
Whey proteins have a naturally quick absorption rate with high concentrations of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) that are used to fuel working muscles and stimulate protein synthesis.
Unlike many whey proteins on the market, Mother Earth Labs Grass-Fed Whey is smooth, delicious, and never chalky! It blends perfectly in smoothies, with yogurt, or in baked goods, providing an extra boost of protein without the high-calorie count of many of its competitors. Lightly sweetened with natural Stevia, our whey comes in Creamy Vanilla or Chocolate Fudge.
Veggie Fusion
Mother Earth Labs Organic Veggie Protein is made from 100% USA-grown, all-natural, plant based protein. Its groundbreaking formula is a unique blend of organic sacha inchi, pea protein isolate, artichoke, milled brown rice, and milled chia seeds that provide 22 grams of protein per serving.
- Sacha Inchi Protein – An extremely digestible form of protein that supports the building and repair of muscle by providing all essential amino acids including the powerful BCAAs.
- Pea Protein Isolate – A non-GMO complete protein free from common allergens including gluten and lactose as well as cholesterol. It has a balanced amino acid profile and is low in fat and carbohydrates. It is naturally 98% digestible and bioavailable.
- Artichoke – A great source of protein with additional heart-healthy benefits.
- Brown Rice Protein – An allergen free, high-quality source of protein that is organically produced and is naturally low fat and low calorie.
- Milled Chia Seeds – As one of the healthiest foods on Earth, chia seeds are loaded with nutrients that have important benefits for the body and brain: Protein, antioxidants, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and more. Chia seeds are also helpful in managing heart health and blood sugar regulation.
This protein blend is the only one of its kind on the market! With unparalleled traceability, accountability, and delicious flavor, you are guaranteed to love this vegan-friendly protein supplement in two flavors: Creamy Vanilla or Chocolate Fudge. And unlike most plant-based protein, it’s smooth, easy to blend, easy to digest, and absolutely delicious in your favorite non-dairy milk!
Both Whey and Veggie have vegetarian creatine added for additional energy and strength support as well as a complete sunflower phospholipid blend.
Additional Benefits
An increase in protein intake is correlated with an increase in Glucagon – a hormone that helps with fat burning making protein one of the best fat-loss tools available. Further, protein suppresses the hunger hormone ghrelin and helps release the muscle building hormones like testosterone. This protects muscle tissue and helps increase stamina, strength, and libido.
Protein also helps boost the neurotransmitter serotonin that is involved in many vital functions including the regulation of mood and sleep – it’s no wonder it’s known as the “feel good” hormone! It does this by providing tryptophan, the essential amino acid that is the building block for serotonin.
Conclusion
Whether you’re a vegetarian or vegan struggling to get enough essential aminos each day, a professional athlete, or an individual battling any number of health conditions that require advanced protein supplementation, Mother Earth Labs has the perfect protein supplement for you!
