For example, our muscles are formed from an intricate matrix of protein fibers. Every flex, every bench press, and every movement of our muscles is the result of these protein fibres working in synchronicity. These muscle fibres are in a high state of dynamic motion in athletes and active individuals as they are constantly broken down and rebuilt during exercise. After intense workouts, the body is starved for protein, and in the absence of additional protein intake, the body may start to leach protein away from muscles, thus athletes and active individuals have higher requirements of protein, as the body needs the building blocks to recover from this muscle damage and initiate the process of building new muscle.
Supplementation with a suitable and complete protein source helps prevent this breakdown of muscle protein, enabling individuals to retain and build lean muscle mass and promotes adaptations in response to training and facilitates the replenishment of energy stores and glycogen in muscle post-exercise. Additional protein intake is also key to comprehensive muscle recovery after endurance activities – studies have shown that protein aids in the repair of muscle damage induced by high-intensity exercise [1].

Mode of Action:
Basic Organic Pea Protein Isolate: Helps build lean muscle mass and aids muscle recovery.
- BCAAs: Promote muscle growth and repair after strenuous activities like resistance training. They also promote energy metabolism as they are the only amino acids that are oxidized for energy during exercise [3]. Increase the release of human growth hormone – creating a favourable environment in the muscles for protein anabolism and muscle growth [3].
- Arginine: Initiates protein synthesis and muscle growth. Promotes nitric oxide resulting in better muscle pumps and superior performance during high-endurance training [4]. Also reinforces the body’s immune system – which means better recovery after exercise, and protection against oxidative stress and inflammation resulting from aerobic exercise. [4]
- Glutamine: Replenish the nitrogen balance in the body leading to the growth of new muscle – rather than the burning of muscle tissue [5].
- Lysine: Increase the absorption of calcium by muscles, and aids in muscle recovery.

Are there any side effects/contradictions associated with consumption?
There are no known side effects or interactions associated with consuming pea protein, and it is completely safe for long-term use. However, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you suffer from a serious medical condition, we recommend that you consult your physician before consuming.
What is a PDCAAS score?
PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acids Score) is a score used to assess protein quality based on human nutritional requirements and the ease of digestibility of protein. This score, which ranges from 0 to 1, has been adopted by the W.H.O as the gold standard to evaluate protein quality. Unived Organic Pea Protein has a high PDCAAS score of 0.93 which means it scores high on both – the quality of the protein, and the digestibility.
I am not an athlete. Can I still consume Protein?
Absolutely. Protein is for everyone who wants to raise the nutritional profile of their diet with a superior protein supplement. We especially recommend protein for individuals with exclusionary diets like vegans and vegetarians, as their regular diet might not meet the recommended intake. Pea protein supplies you with high-quality protein, regardless of your activity levels.
How does Unived Basics Organic Pea Protein taste like?
Pea Protein as such does not taste as great. One cannot compare this to whey protein and/ or expect any pea protein product to taste like Whey. However, Unived Basis Organic Pea Protein Isolate is flavored and comes in a chocolate variant making them taste better.
Is Unived Basics Organic Pea Protein hypoallergenic?
Yes. The organic pea protein used is not classified as a major allergen. Furthermore, it is safe for individuals who are lactose intolerant, and allergic to milk and milk products, and soy products. Our organic pea protein is also gluten-free.
