ORGANIC VEGAN PROTEIN (24 SERVING)

EXPLANATION VIDEO:

WHY HAMMER'S ORGANIC VEGAN PROTEIN:

Perfect for a post-workout protein boost, morning smoothie, or afternoon snack, Organic Vegan Protein is deliciously smooth-tasting, non-GMO, soy-free, and gluten-free goodness. Its five all-organic protein sources,pea, pumpkin, Sacha Inchi, spirulina, and chlorella,provide your body with a complete amino acid profile to help accelerate recovery, and support strong immunity.

HOW TO USE:

Mix 1 scoop of Hammer Vegan Protein in 180 mls or more of cold water. Hammer Vegan Protein is ideal for use after exercise or anytime throughout the day to bolster your daily protein intake.

With Hammer Vegan Protein in three different flavors, it is easy to make vegan-friendly, soy-free versions of your favorite Hammer Nutrition fuels. While it's not possible to make exact replicas of Perpetuem or Recoverite using Hammer Vegan Protein, the following recipes are quite similar in terms of their carbohydrate and protein makeup, and their caloric donation as well.

INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN:

Organic Pea Protein is an easily digested protein with an excellent amino acid profile, containing leucine, isoleucine, valine (the three branched-chain amino acids), lysine, arginine, and glutamine. An interesting characteristic of pea protein is that it assists in lowering levels of grehlin, an appetite-stimulating peptide. The result is an increased potential for feeling satiated, thus possibly helping to prevent overeating.

Organic Pumpkin Protein, derived from the nutrient-rich seeds, is not only a complete protein source, but also plentiful in vitamin K and the minerals calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, zinc, and more. Pumpkin seeds contain numerous phenols with antioxidant properties.

Organic Sacha Inchi is derived from the seeds of the South America Plukenetia volubilis plant. Because it contains all nine essential amino acids, sacha inchi is considered a complete protein source. Sacha inchi is also a potent source of the essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

Organic Spirulina, a microscopic single-celled alga, is a complete protein source and has the highest concentration of protein by weight of any food. Considered by many to be THE superfood of superfoods, spirulina is vitamin- and mineral-dense, and rich in enzymes and antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase. It's a potent source of chlorophyll (second only to chlorella) and essential fatty acids. Spirulina is also considered a blood-building nutrient, primarily due to its polypeptide content (called phycocyanin). Additionally, spirulina is believed to help maintain digestive system health by serving as a food/fuel source for beneficial intestinal flora.

Organic Chlorella is another single-celled alga and, like spirulina, is a complete protein, loaded with chlorophyll and essential fatty acids. Chlorella is perhaps the most vitamin- and mineral-dense "green food" available, including a complete B vitamin profile. (Chlorella has more vitamin B12 by weight than liver!) Chlorella also contains naturally occurring RNA and DNA for assisting in cellular growth and repair, and is considered an "eye health" nutrient, courtesy of its plentiful amounts of beta-carotene and lutein. Lastly, chlorella has gained a reputation as an excellent detoxifying agent. It is purported to have the ability to bind to heavy metals as well as other toxic substances in the bowels.

HOW DO I DETERMINE THE EQUIVALENT OF ONE SCOOP OF VEGAN PROTEIN?

No scoop? No problem! With the following conversion information, your "Where did my scoop go?" problems are resolved! Vegan Protein
1 Level Scoop (73 cc) = 3 TBSP + 2 tsp I HAVE SOME LACTOSE INTOLERANCE ISSUES. CAN I STILL USE RECOVERITE AND WHEY PROTEIN? Because whey protein isolate the form we use in Recoverite most people who are lactose intolerant are able to consume whey isolate without issue. If you find either product to still cause issues, we recommend Vegan Recoverite and Vegan Protein.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

WHAT ARE THE DARK SPECKS I SOMETIMES SEE IN THE ORGANIC VEGAN PROTEIN POWDER?

The dark specks are either the spirulina or chlorella components (or both) in the Organic Vegan Protein product. One has a natural green/gray color and the other has a dark/nearly black color. These are both slightly harder, more dense nutrients than the other protein sources in the product, and sometimes they are not always completely broken down/micronized in the blending process. Both ingredients will dissolve completely in solution, however.

WHAT IS ORGANIC IMO POWDER?

Q: What is Organic IMO Powder, which I see in the ingredient list?

A: IMO Stands for Isomalto-oligosaccharide. IMO is a mixture of short-chain carbohydrates that are a normal part of the human diet and occur naturally in fermented food (e.g., rice miso). The 100% organically derived IMO in Hammer Nutrition’s Organic Vegan Protein is a multi-functional molecule which has been shown to exert positive effects on human digestive health. It can act as a prebiotic, decrease flatulence, has a low glycemic index, and helps to protect against dental caries (aka tooth decay).
