Product Information
Unived Pea Protein Isolate is a clean plant-based vegan protein that is scientifically formulated with a blend of pea protein isolate - for building lean muscle mass and natural digestive enzymes for easy digestibility of the proteins.
Unived Pea Protein Raw is a source of the complete and balanced amino-acid profile of essential and non-essential amino acids and fulfills the daily protein requirements for adults. Pea Protein is high in BCAAs (Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine) which are of particular interest to athletes. It is also rich in amino acids arginine, glutamine, Leucine, and lysine. This ensures that your workouts are optimally energized and that your body’s resources are effectively utilized toward the goal of naturally building lean muscle mass and muscle thickness.
Unived Pea Protein Isolate is an ideal protein supplement for athletes, for weight lifting, resistance training, and high endurance activities. It is also ideal for regular consumption for anyone looking to supplement their diet with high-quality protein to meet their daily intake requirements as it is a highly nutritious source, especially for individuals with exclusionary diets like vegans and vegetarians.

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 hinder 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].
Now, we know that builders and athletes need extra protein to cope with body requirements. But our body is not equipped to naturally break down and optimize the large amounts of protein. Excess protein that goes undigested in the small intestines could move into the colon where bacteria will break it down, creating ammonia that is difficult to neutralize and may build up over time. And while the body can handle small amounts of ammonia, large amounts of protein can produce more ammonia than the body can handle on its own, leading to compromised immune systems and even cell damage. Some common symptoms associated with undigested protein include gas, bloating, and diarrhea. The solution lies with enzymes that can break down food particles into an appropriate size for digestion. The problem is that enzymatic activity naturally decreases with age. Today’s diet is largely devoid of enzyme activity since enzymes are typically destroyed by food preparation and processing techniques that involve high temperatures. Supplementation with enzymes is one way to meet the digesting demands of high protein.
Unived Pea Protein Isolate offers a complete source of protein with natural digestive enzymes to make sure that the protein is easily digested and available to the body for absorption and utilization.

25 grams of plant-based pea protein from yellow peas which have
- 4.54 grams of naturally occurring BCAAs per serving and a complete amino acid profile and 8.8 % of arginine per serving – the highest among all protein sources.
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.
It also offers a natural digestive enzyme blend that has
- Alpha-amylase and acid protease from Aspergillus (fungal source).
- Neutral protease from Bacillus (bacterial source).
- Papain from papaya which is a plant source.
All these digestive enzymes act at different pH and are temperature stable.
Unived Protein is Non-GMO, sugar-free, hypoallergenic, cholesterol-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and soy-free supplement.
Mode of Action:
Pea Protein Raw: 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.
Natural digestive enzymes: Initiate the digestion of protein and hydrolyzes them to a small polypeptide for better digestibility, absorption, and utilization.

What is the recommeded intake of Unived Organic Pea Protein Raw?
As a basic guideline, we recommend that adults should consume 1-1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight to meet their dietary requirements of protein. Physically active adults and athletes should consume 1.5-1.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight to sustain their training and meet their elevated protein needs. We recommend consuming a minimum of one serving of Unived Organic Pea Protein per day, although, you may take up to 3-4 servings if desired.
What is the suggested use of Unived Organic Pea Protein Raw?
Unived Organic Pea Protein can be taken at any time during the day. You can simple put in a shaker, make a smoothie with it, or bake some baked goodies with it. For athletes or gym junkies, it is suggested to take at least one serving of Unived Organic Pea Protein within 45 minutes post your workout and another serving before bedtime. For endurance athletes, Unived Organic Pea Protein can be taken in conjunction with RRUNN Post Complete System Recovery. Unlike conventional whey supplements and other plant-based proteins, Unived Organic Pea Protein is completely free of synthetic or natural emulsifiers and thickeners. For a smoother shake, we recommend using a blender, however, a shaker will also work just fine. To make one serving of Unived Organic Pea Protein, ass one scoopful to 500 ml of cold water or your favourite nut milk in a blender or shaker, and blend/shake until you get a rich, smooth and delicious shake.
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.
What are the safety standard of Unived Organic Pea Protein?
Unived Organic Pea Protein strictly adheres to WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) guidelines, and does not contain any banned substances. However, please note that WADA does not offer any certification, or confirmation (written or otherwise) of the same.
How does Unived 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. If you are big on taste then this product may not be for you. If you are looking for a superior, clean product, and are more concerned about getting your 30 grams of protein from a sustainable and clean source, and if you can accept a small compromise in taste – then this is just the product, a clean product, and are more concerned about getting your 30 grams of protein from a sustainable and clean source, and if you can accept a small compromise in taste – then this is just the product for you. It does NOT taste bad – but it does take some getting used to.
Is Unived 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.
