Product Profile --------------- Optimal Proteins provides five different sources of protein-rich, powders important for amino and fiber content as well as the presence of various ents. These ents vary by and provide one rationale for consuming protein from a breadth of sources. Included sources are pea, brown rice, hemp, Golden Chlorella - a highly digestible chlorella with superior taste profile - and chia. In addition, a unique blend of fermentation products from beneficial bacteria has been added. View larger View larger Peas Protein ------------ Peas are the seed-pods of Pisum sativum, a famed in scientific circles as Gregor Mendel’s, the her of genetics, vehicle to explaining the inheritance of traits. Yet peas, considered both a legume and a pulse, also deserve re for their high protein content. In fact, during the middle ages in Europe peas were one of the major sources of protein consumed. All pulses, however, are typically poor sources of the amino methionine and hence are not a complete protein. Legumes also possess noteworthy levels of amylose, a form of resistant starch that escapes human digestion but acts as food for beneficial bacteria. Brown Rice Protein ------------------ Brown rice and white rice both derive from the same , Oryza sativa. Yet through no intrinsic fault, the brown variety was traditionally associated with poverty in Asia. However, modern revaluation of its attributes has led to an elevation in status. For example, despite comparable protein levels, brown rice contains B s, iron, magnesium, ty s, and fiber that are lost to white rice. This is caused by the removal of the husk, bran and germ layers from the raw grain in the production of white rice. In contrast, only the husk is removed in brown rice. Nevertheless, like most grains, rice is a poor source of lysine and is not considered a complete protein alone. Hemp Protein ------------ s of the Cannabis genus may be controversial to modern society because of the psychoactive properties of some of its members, but the tive value of hemp is unequivocal. Possessing a full-spectrum of amino s, hemp protein exists in easily digestible, non-enic form. The hemp is also a source of essential ty s, with the omega-3/omega-6 ratio often coming in at 3:1. Chlorella --------- Chlorella, a genus of single-celled algae, is a complete protein containing 45% amino components by dried weight. It burst into the consciousness of the American public decades ago when it was touted as a means to avoid impending world hunger. Unfortunately, chlorella’s photosynthesizing efficiency was overstated and the difficulty in “farming” it underestimated. Other factors, such as a somewhat objectionable taste and algae cell walls that impeded the protein bioavailability to humans, caused chlorella’s promise to fade. Some of these drawbacks have been overcome with Golden Chlorella, a more bioavailable, better-tasting form of chlorella protein. View larger Chia Seed --------- A ste food of the Aztecs, and even used by them as a form of currency, Salvia hispanica is native to what is now southern Mexico. By weight, chia are about 1/3 omega-3 rich oil, 1/4 soluble fiber and 1/5 protein. Antioxidant components like flavonols, quercetin, and chlorogenic s are also typically found in chia . So even though the traditional practice of growing chia sprouts on clay figures has become widely known via “chia pets,” chia is certainly worth consuming. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
