For the Plant-Based Hustle and the Gut That’s Done With Whey

Yes! Twenty2 Nutrition Vegan Protein is specifically formulated to be a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids your body needs but cannot produce on its own. This is achieved through our unique plant-based blend of pea and almond protein.

This complete amino acid profile is crucial for:

• Muscle protein synthesis
• Recovery after exercise
• Overall tissue maintenance and repair
• Supporting all the body's protein-dependent functions

This makes our Vegan Protein suitable as a primary protein source for those following plant-based diets and anyone looking to incorporate more plant-based options into their nutrition plan.

Each serving provides 25 grams of high-quality plant protein.
This generous 25-gram serving is ideal for:

• Supporting muscle recovery after workouts
• Meeting daily protein requirements, especially for those on plant-based diets
• Promoting satiety and fullness between meals
• Supporting lean muscle development with resistance training

The 25 grams per serving is intentionally formulated to provide an effective dose for muscle protein synthesis, which research suggests requires approximately 20-25 grams of high-quality protein. Our formula ensures you get an optimal amount in each scoop, representing 50% of your daily value based on a 2,000-calorie diet.

Absolutely! Twenty2 Nutrition Vegan Protein goes beyond just providing protein – it's specifically formulated with comprehensive digestive support through multiple mechanisms:

1. Prebiotic Blend: Contains PreticX™ 95P (Xylooligosaccharide 95%), with 1000mg per serving. This clinically studied prebiotic has been shown to increase beneficial bacteria in the colon, which aids in healthy digestion. Prebiotics are essentially food for your good gut bacteria, helping them thrive.
2. Probiotic Blend: Includes a robust 10 billion CFU/g (at time of manufacture) of beneficial bacteria that promote healthy digestion and support a balanced microbiome.
3. DigeZyme™ Multi-Enzyme Complex: Contains 75mg of a specialized enzyme blend including:
   • α-Amylase (24000 DU/g)
   • Neutral Protease (6000 PC/g)
   • Cellulase (1100 CU/g)
   • Lactase (4000 ALU/g)
   • Lipase (200 FIP/g) These enzymes help break down the protein and improve nutrient absorption, making the protein more bioavailable and easier to digest.
4. Organic Coconut Powder: Includes 500mg of organic coconut powder, which provides natural fiber and healthy fats that support digestive health.

This comprehensive approach addresses a common concern with plant proteins – digestibility – making our formula gentler on the digestive system than many other plant proteins. Many users report less bloating and digestive discomfort compared to other protein powders they've tried.

Research increasingly shows that plant proteins can effectively build muscle, particularly when formulated thoughtfully, like Twenty2 Nutrition Vegan Protein:

• Complete Amino Acid Profile: Our pea and almond blend provides all essential amino acids needed for muscle synthesis, similar to animal proteins. The supplement facts panel details the exact amino acid content.
• Leucine Content: Our formula contains 2257mg of leucine per serving, exceeding the leucine threshold (approximately 2g) needed to trigger muscle protein synthesis.
• BCAA Profile: With 1312mg of isoleucine and 1456mg of valine, combined with the 2257mg of leucine, our formula provides a robust 5025mg of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) per serving to support muscle recovery and growth.
• Research Support: Recent studies show that when matched for protein content and leucine, plant proteins can produce muscle growth comparable to animal proteins.
• DigeZyme™ Multi-Enzyme Complex: The addition of our specialized enzyme blend (75mg per serving) helps improve amino acid absorption, potentially closing the gap further between plant and animal proteins.
• Practical Results: Many athletes and bodybuilders successfully build impressive physiques using exclusively plant proteins.
• Anti-Inflammatory Benefits: Some evidence suggests the natural anti-inflammatory compounds in plant proteins may actually support recovery, potentially offering an advantage for overall training results.

While extremely rapid muscle gain might still have a slight edge with whey protein, our Vegan Protein is formulated to minimize this difference while offering additional health benefits not found in animal-based proteins, including gut support through our probiotic blend and prebiotics.

Twenty2 Nutrition Vegan Protein features a strategic combination of two primary plant protein sources:

1. Pea Protein Isolate:

   • Particularly rich in lysine (2033mg per serving), an essential amino acid often limited in plant proteins
   • Contains significant amounts of leucine (2257mg per serving), the key amino acid that triggers muscle protein synthesis
   • Easily digestible compared to many plant proteins
   • Provides a substantial 25g of protein per serving
2. Almond Protein:
   • Provides additional amino acids that complement the pea protein profile
   • Contains healthy fats that support nutrient absorption
   • Offers a mild, pleasant flavor that enhances the overall taste experience
   • Provides additional micronutrients

Twenty2 Nutrition Vegan Protein is formulated with quality ingredients and is free from many common artificial additives. The formula contains almond protein, so it's unsuitable for those with tree nut allergies. The organic coconut ingredient also contains coconut milk. Those with severe allergies should review the specific allergen statement on the product packaging. We believe in transparency with our ingredients, which is why we clearly list everything on our label without hiding behind "proprietary blends" or vague terminology.

Twenty2 Nutrition Vegan Protein is extremely versatile and can be beneficial at multiple times throughout the day, depending on your goals:
