Proteins are essential for our body, but for athletes, they are even more important. The average protein requirement of people who exercise is higher than that of people who do not.

Protein-rich food sources
Proteins are made up of different amino acids, 9 of which we must obtain from our diet. Both animal and plant-based foods contain proteins, but the quantity and quality can vary.

Animal proteins: generally contain all essential amino acids in the right proportions.
Plant-based proteins: sometimes lack certain amino acids, such as lysine in grains and methionine/cysteine in legumes.
Tofu and soy are exceptions, as these are naturally complete protein sources.

Plant-based diet? Eat varied
To obtain a complete amino acid profile with plant-based nutrition, it is important to consume various protein sources throughout the day. By combining grains, legumes, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, and grains, it is generally possible to get enough protein from your diet.

Vegan Protein
Are you not getting enough protein or do you want to support your protein intake as an avid athlete? With Vegan Protein, you can make a delicious, creamy plant-based protein shake. Per shake, you get 24 grams of high-quality protein.

Distinctive through fermentation
Vegan Protein stands out due to FermentIQ™. With this unique technology, pea and rice proteins are fermented with shiitake mushrooms. This results in a better taste, increased absorption, and improved solubility.

Full, creamy flavor
Unfermented plant proteins often have an unpleasant taste. Bitter, earthy, and cardboard-like notes make drinking a protein shake less enjoyable. Vegan Protein does not have this problem! The unique fermentation technology neutralizes the intense flavor profile. This allows you to enjoy a shake with a mild taste and milkshake-like texture.

100% natural
Vegan Protein is sweetened only with the leaves of the stevia plant. Additionally, it contains a natural vanilla flavor.

Improved absorption and solubility
The fermentation process also ensures optimal absorption and good solubility. The innovative process provides three key benefits:

1. Improved absorption due to less phytic acid
Peas and rice contain phytic acid, an antinutrient that can negatively affect nutrient absorption. Fermentation reduces the amount of phytic acid by up to 50%, allowing your body to better absorb the proteins from Vegan Protein.

2. Faster absorption due to smaller proteins
Fermentation reduces the protein molecules, allowing them to be absorbed up to 35% faster than unfermented proteins. This means the proteins can be used more quickly for building and repairing muscles after training.

3. Better soluble due to smaller proteins
The smaller protein molecules also ensure better solubility. Vegan Protein is 2.5 times better soluble than unfermented pea and rice protein mixes. Compared to rice protein, it is even 8.5 times better soluble! Mix Vegan Protein with water or plant-based milk without clumping.

MycoTechnology™ is #1 in fermentation

Award-winning FermentIQ™
The dedication of MycoTechnology™ was rewarded in 2023 with a prestigious award. FermentIQ™ won the Health Innovation Award at the 2023 Food Ingredients Europe Innovation Awards.

Amino acid profile
Unlike many plant-based food sources, Vegan Protein has a complete amino acid profile. This means it contains all 9 essential amino acids that your body cannot produce on its own. No less than 39% of Vegan Protein consists of these essential amino acids (EAA).

BCAAs in optimal ratio
Vegan Protein contains the BCAAs leucine, isoleucine, and valine in the optimal 2:1:1 ratio. BCAAs make up 20% of Vegan Protein.
