Why do you only use vegan protein in MycoPro Performance?
Plant proteins are far healthier than meat and dairy proteins – pound for pound they pack more nutrients into fewer calories. They contain the one thing that animal protein completely lacks which is fibre, it is easier on the digestive system, especially for those with lactose intolerance. MycoPro Performance uses the blend of pea, hemp seed and fava bean proteins as they are a complete protein giving you a balanced mix of your 9 essential amino acids that you can only get through diet and contains Omega-3. They have an alkalizing effect on the body which may help balance the pH level and reduce the risk of certain health issues related to acidity. An important reason is plant proteins are kinder to the planet and more sustainable, they provide a more ethical option to animal proteins.
