Plantforce - Synergy Protein Chocolate - 20 g

What is Synergy Protein?

Plantforce® Synergy Protein Powder has been developed for health-conscious people looking for products that meet quality, protein needs, and natural taste demands.

It's a combination of organic brown rice, pea, and hemp protein curated to be a vegan-friendly vegetable powder that provides all the essential amino acids needed for optimal muscle strength and recovery.

Free of Heavy Metal Contamination

Most protein powder brands in the market have alarming levels of arsenic, mercury, and lead. These heavy metals can affect health negatively when consumed for an extended period.

Naturally, cacao (which gives the chocolate taste) contains cadmium regardless if the soil contains heavy metals, or even if it’s labeled organic. But with Plantforce Synergy Protein Chocolate, we use organic cacao powder which is also a low-cadmium cacao powder. We ensure our consumers that their natural cadmium intake will not exceed the tolerable intake of 2,5 μg/kg body weight (Source:COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 488/2014)

High in BCAA

Plantforce® Synergy Protein is high in BCAA or the three branched chain amino acids of the body. These are leucine, isoleucine and valine. According to studies, BCAA is essential in preventing physical performance from declining. This it prevents the glycogen storage from the liver from being used, and instead moving to the muscle and supplying energy. (Source:NCBI)

It has also been proven to relived post-workout soreness (EuropePMC), potentially maintain lean body mass (Springer) & preserve skeletal muscle while losing body fat in combination with diet & exercise (Springer)

The Ingredients

Pea protein

Pea protein is one of very few complete plant-based protein sources. This means that it contains all nine essential amino acids. Studies have shown that it is effective in increasing biceps muscle thickness. This showed that pea protein could be a good protein source as compared to milk-based whey protein. (Source:Pubmed).

• Complete protein
• High digestibility

Rice protein

Mixing pea and rice protein together creates the ideal amino acid combination. Protein from brown rice has also shown effects similar to what Whey Protein can contribute to muscle thickness. (Source:Pubmed) Using a cutting-edge enzymatic process to extract the amino acids from the surprisingly low grain in carbohydrates, despite originating from rice.

• High protein
• High digestibility

Hemp protein

An excellent alternative to whey protein, with a punch of digestible protein, to help you meet your training goals. Because of our delicate process, there is also the added benefit of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Hemp is derived from the same plant from which marijuana is cultivated but does not contain any of the psychoactive properties of the latter. Hemp protein has been studied to contain stress relieving and blood-pressure-lowering compounds (Source:NCBI &tandf)

• High-protein
• Source of fiber
• Omega 3 fatty acids
• Essential minerals

Easy to digest

Plantforce® Synergy Protein is perfect to put in your smoothies, and drinks! It’s easy to dilute and has a smooth texture. And it’s not only for vegans but can also be for:

• Athletes & muscle builders with sensitivities and intolerances to dairy-based whey protein
• Athletes & muscle builders with sensitivities and intolerances to soy-based and gluten-containing protein powders
• Athletes & muscle builders who have problems digesting other protein brands

Natural Chocolatey taste

Unlike other brands, Plantforce Synergy Protein do not contain additives or artificial flavors and sweeteners to make our powder delicious. The chocolate taste comes from cacao extract (legally referred to as “natural flavor”), organic fat-reduced cacao powder and sweetened naturally by the extracts of the stems and leaves of the Stevia plant.

Key Health Aspects of Synergy Protein

Plantforce® Synergy Protein contains complementary plant-based proteins extracted from hemp, pea & brown rice. These are protein sources that, when combined, provide all the essential amino acids needed for:

• Promoting muscle growth
• Maintaining of muscle mass
• Maintaining normal bone health
