Here’s how to get the most from Plant Protein Meals, such as beans and chickpeas!
When people choose a plant-based approach to nutrition, often they do it because they want to live a healthier life! And, healthy it can be. However, focusing your diet regularly on foods like lentils, beans and other legumes doesn’t always mean your protein intake is sufficient. If you are deficient in methionine, you are not reaping the full benefits of those protein sources.
Methionine is an essential amino acid—one of the building blocks of protein that’s not made by the human body; people must get it through diet and nutrition. There are significantly higher levels of methionine in animal foods, so those who follow a plant-based diet are potentially at risk for methionine deficiency. In fact, methionine is the most common amino acid deficiency in plant-based diets. Not to worry though—the right supplement can ensure that your body optimizes every gram of protein.
UNJURY® Vegan Protein Enhancer is a methionine supplement. Adding the Vegan Protein Enhancer improves the amino acid profile of pea protein and enhances the overall quality. Using UNJURY® Vegan Protein Enhancer with Planted™ Protein brings the PDCAAS (protein score) from 80, up to 96 out of 100.
