THE PROBLEM WITH PLANT PROTEINS Magazine

THE PROBLEM

FROM THE DESK OF WADE T. LIGHTHEART

NATURAL BODYBUILDING CHAMPION PASSIONATE PLANT-BASED PROTEIN ADVOCATE

I’m going to cut to the chase.

Almost every plant protein sucks.

They taste like chalk… hard to digest…

And too often, it doesn’t help you build muscle or reshape your body.

If you’ve ever wanted to love a plant-based protein powder…

But you’ve been disappointed over and over again…

Or at best, you’ve felt “meh” about the proteins you’ve tried…

THIS WILL BE THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE YOU EVER READ ABOUT PLANT PROTEIN

As a natural bodybuilding champion who has been a vegetarian for 25 years…

I’d wager I’ve tried more plant-based protein powders than any other human alive.

None of them are great.

Forget “great”…

None of them have even been decent by my standards. In my quest to find a protein shake that I could use every day… and recommend it to my friends and family...

I ALMOST LOST IT…

I’d been trying dozens and dozens and dozens of plant-based protein, hoping and praying to find something that I liked. All I found was bad protein.

And bad protein makes Wade’s heart break… break for every human like myself, that dreams and prays for a better option.

So I set out to create a truly revolutionary protein that would accomplish every need I had…

It would taste amazing… help with muscle building and body-shaping… and it would be the most satisfying meal replacement ever.

A RANT ABOUT PLANT PROTEIN

(And Why 99% of Them Will Let You Down)

At this point, I was determined not to lose hope.

I began trying every single plant protein product I could get my hands on… Soy… hemp… pea… chickpea… seed proteins like chia, flax, pumpkin. Even exotic proteins like sacha incha, fermented rice proteins, tocotrienols, and a laundry list of weird-tasting proteins that would make your head spin and oftentimes your stomach turn.

You name it, I tried it.

I tried simple protein powders.

I tried “kitchen sink” protein powders.

(Those are when they pretty much throw every ingredient known to man into the formula).

VIRTUALLY ALL OF THEM HAD THE 3 FOLLOWING PROBLEMS:

They weren’t balanced — all had too much of one or more amino acids, and too little of others…

They had horrible texture — they were either clumpy… dry… or worse, they’d have terrible “mouth feel” and get stuck at the back of your throat…

And they ranged from “ok” to AWFUL in taste — which is one of THE most important qualities of any consumable product… If your protein tastes bad, you MIGHT tough it out for a little while…

But eventually, you’ll stop using it.

DON’T FALL FOR THE FITNESS & BODYBUILDING LIES ABOUT PLANT PROTEINS

Here’s another thing that angers me. I often hear so-called “fitness authorities” bash plant-based proteins, while recommending their own dairy or animal-based protein products.

They usually point to two misconceptions that I’m going to clear up right now.

BIG LIE #1

Plants provide incomplete amino acids [1]

THE FACTS

All plants have all the essential amino acids, but each plant may be low in some of the critical ones.

Combining different plant proteins that have complementary amino acids can provide a superior source of complete proteins.

MORE ON THIS IN A MINUTE »

Proteins

BIG LIE #2

Plant proteins are more difficult to digest due to anti-nutrients such as phytates, tannins, and lectins [2] THE FACTS

When the seeds and legumes are ground and processed into protein powders, the anti-nutrients are destroyed, stripped out, or rendered neutral.

AS A RESULT, PLANT PROTEIN POWDERS HAVE NEAR 100% DIGESTIBILITY AND ABSORPTION RATES. [3]

Plant-based proteins also possess some additional health benefits.

A 2020 systematic analysis of clinical trials involving plant-based protein products found that these products improve: [4]

Satiation

Modest decrease (5 mmHg) in blood pressure

Blood sugar control and satiety

Decrease in total cholesterol & LDL

Most plant protein studies were performed using pea or another legume protein, but a few small studies have also shown similar benefits with hemp and pumpkin seeds.

FROM THE DESK OF WADE T. LIGHTHEART

I HAD A DIVINE “BREAKTHROUGH”

THAT CHANGED MY PERSPECTIVE ON

PROTEIN FOREVER

One day, as I was venting about all of my horrible experiences with protein to my business partner from BiOptimizers, Matt…

He stopped me and said, “If you’re so unhappy with all the proteins out there, why don’t we create our own?”

That moment was a huge turning point.

A light bulb turned on…

And I finally felt like maybe there would be some hope at the end of what had seemed (so far to be) an endless tunnel of disappointments.

Having grown up on a farm, I was very familiar with the “if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself” mentality.

So Matt and I began sourcing every type of plant protein… mixing together every combination… exploring every way to enhance the overall flavor…

It was a BRUTAL set of experiments…

Sometimes we’d literally gag on the horrible taste…

Or nearly choke on the dry, chalky bits of powder that get stuck at the back of your throat.

We nearly gave up a dozen times…

But eventually, we stumbled upon a combination of pea protein… hemp protein… and pumpkin seed

that produced the most balanced combination of amino acids and taste.

By this point, we’d begun growing our new company, BiOptimizers… with customers all over the world.

We really wanted this to be MORE than a highquality protein for only hardcore bodybuilders or fitness junkies.

Our goal was to create not only the best plantbased protein product…

… but also the ultimate daily meal replacement that anyone could use to diet more effectively…

While also transforming their body and health.

And so we did just that…

It took over 145 plant protein tests over the last 17 years to ultimately nail the perfect combination of taste… texture… and nutritional value.

And guess what? WE NAILED IT.

INTRODUCING PROTEIN BREAKTHROUGH

An Organic, Plant-Based Protein 17 Years in the Making

With the best taste, texture, and balance ever created in a product of its kind.

Yes, protein breakthrough is literally 17 YEARS in the making.

That’s how long it was from the time when I first began using and selling hemp protein…

… to perfecting the formula that we’re making available today -- including 97.375% of organic ingredients.

PROTEIN BREAKTHROUGH CHANGES THE PLANT-BASED PROTEIN GAME FOR 2 SIMPLE REASONS:

FIRST -- IT HAS MIND-BLOWING FLAVOR.

I realize every company out there makes that claim.

But we both know those claims usually aren’t true. Otherwise, you’d already have a plant-based protein you love…

Protein Breakthrough TRULY tastes better (with superior texture and “mouthfeel”) over any plant protein you’ll ever try. It tastes and feels like

REAL FOOD instead of FAKE and utter weirdness created in a lab.

And I’ll put my money where my mouth is, because in a moment, I’m going to triple guarantee that you’re going to love the flavor too…

SECOND -- IT IS THE ULTIMATE MEAL REPLACEMENT.

Protein Breakthrough includes just the right amount of supporting superfoods to provide added nutrition… reduce hunger… and give you all-day energy… without the downsides of the “kitchen sink” protein products that ultimately put your body out of balance over time.

These are not mere claims.

As you’re about to see, we’ve selected and sourced every single ingredient in this product to be the BEST, and in accordance with the latest research on plant-based protein.

After doing over 145 tests, we achieved 3 major breakthroughs…

THE ULTIMATE PLANT PROTEIN BLEND

Our first goal was simple but challenging: we wanted a protein blend that tasted great, digested easily, and delivered high-quality, bioavailable proteins.

The first step was selecting the right proteins.

After testing every protein on the market, we decided on: pea protein, hemp protein, and pumpkin seed protein.

Through our experiments and collaborations with a research team that is able to look at everything under the microscope, we developed the PERFECT combination of pea, hemp, and pumpkin seed proteins…

That took us several years.

Most companies don’t go the extra mile in finding and testing every single ingredient.

We do. It’s how we roll.

As a result, Protein Breakthrough will support your training, muscle toning or building, and body recomposition goals better than any other plant-based protein formula in existence.

The second step was finding the best-in-class farmers for every single ingredient.

My business partner Matt took many for the team as he choked on a massive variety of samples from all around the world.

You would be shocked at the differences of flavor and quality in what looks like “the same ingredient”.

The third step was creating the perfect balance of those 3 proteins.

We tested blend after blend to find the perfect “sweet spot” of taste, texture, and nutrition.

BREAKTHROUGH PROTEIN #1

PEA PROTEIN

There’s a HUGE variance in the quality of pea proteins out there—and it took us YEARS to find a high-quality source of pea protein that tasted good, was clean/ pure, and easy to digest. This is important because:

» Pea protein contains all nine essential amino acids.

» Pea protein is a great source of branchedchain amino acids, especially arginine — which promotes healthy blood flow and heart health in studies.[5]

» Pea protein has high levels of leucine, isoleucine, and valine – which promote muscle growth.[6]

» Pea protein is easily digested. Research demonstrates that pea protein is one of the more easily digested plant-based proteins.[7]

» Pea protein is naturally rich in iron (and contains enough vitamin C to boost iron absorption by 67%).[8]

» Pea protein powder is naturally vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and does not contain any of the top eight food allergens — peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish, shellfish, cow’s milk, wheat, or soy. [9]

» Pea protein can reduce hunger and help you lose weight. One study found that 20 grams of pea protein powder taken 30 minutes before eating pizza reduced the average number of calories consumed by roughly 12%.[10]

» Pea protein is as effective as whey at building muscle, with NONE of the downsides. In one 12-week study, weight-lifting men who consumed 50 grams of pea protein per day gained the same amount of muscle as those taking whey protein.[11]

The world’s best pea protein is only the beginning...

BREAKTHROUGH PROTEIN #2 HEMP PROTEIN

You already know about my love-hate relationship with hemp protein. Well, Matt and I were able to source a form of hemp protein that we are thrilled with on every level.

Hemp really brings Protein Breakthrough to the next

level:

» Hemp is a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids that humans must get from food.

» Hemp is non-allergenic. One study found that the amino acid profile of hemp protein is similar to egg whites and soy, without any of the downsides (eggs and soy can be allergens).[12]

» Hemp is easily digested. Research shows that 91–98% of the protein in ground hemp seed is digestible. [13] This means that your body can use almost all of the amino acids in hemp protein powder for important bodily functions, such as repair and maintenance.

Researchers believe that hemp is so easy to digest because it contains the proteins edestin and albumin, which your body can break down quickly.[14]

» Hemp protein contains an ideal 3:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids.[15]

» Hemp is also a rich source of minerals such as phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, iron, manganese, zinc, and copper.

BREAKTHROUGH PROTEIN #3 PUMPKIN SEED PROTEIN

Granted, there are a number of plant protein products out there with pea and hemp protein. But almost none of them have pumpkin seed protein.

This is a BIG mistake in our opinion. Because this seed has the ideal amino acid and taste profile to PERFECTLY balance out pea and hemp.

Plus, it comes with a wide array of benefits on its own:

» Pumpkin seed protein is the only alkalineforming protein. Consuming alkaline-forming foods can help maintain balanced pH levels in the body, particularly in overly acidic diets. Pumpkin seeds are the only seeds that are alkaline-forming.

» Rich in the amino acid tryptophan, which aids in the production of serotonin in the brain.

» Packed with zinc and other nutrients that enhance sexual health in both men and women.

» Contain antioxidants – like carotenoids and vitamin E – that help reduce oxidation and support healthy inflammation levels. [16]

“GUM-FREE” SUPERFOOD-INFUSED EMULSIFIER BLEND

Maybe the hardest part of creating this formula was creating something that blends well together without using “gums” like xanthan gum, guar gum, Carrageenan, etc.

Most companies use these gums to help the ingredients blend better together. The problem is, they can be stressful on the digestive system

We wanted the texture to be amazing without ruining your digestion, and we finally nailed it.

We can’t reveal all of our secrets on how we did it, but we can give you a few hints…

First, we used sunflower lecithin, which is an awesome ingredient for emulsifying – blending the fats with water.

Sunflower lecithin is rich in choline (which is great for focus) and other essential fatty acids and some people even take it as a supplement because of the benefits.

And second, part of how we give Protein Breakthrough its industry-leading taste is through the use of superfoods.

The right combination of superfoods also helps add the perfect balance of nutrients, so that it works as an effective meal replacement.

Superfoods also help with supporting benefits such as hormone support, energy, and recovery.

After much experimentation, we found the following superfoods that help Protein Breakthrough taste amazing… and help you FEEL incredible...

SUPERFOOD INFUSION #1 RAW CACAO

Everyone’s familiar with chocolate, but raw, uncooked cacao is rich in antioxidants and delivers many more benefits.

» High-antioxidant raw cacao is one of the best ways to improve blood flow and support healthy blood pressure.

» One reason for this is because it helps to increase Nitric Oxide production which helps to relax the arteries and boost blood flow.

» Nitric Oxide is also popular with bodybuilding and fitness enthusiasts because it can increase the “pump” during workouts and muscle mass growth after.

SUPERFOOD INFUSION #2

MACA ROOT

Known scientifically as Lepidium meyenii and sometimes referred to as Peruvian ginseng, Maca grows in very harsh conditions and at very high altitudes – above 13,000 feet.

» Maca is one of the best “adaptogens” – meaning it helps with stress. Remember: stress elevates cortisol, and elevated cortisol can cause belly fat.

» Maca not only helps with stress and metabolism, but also with overall hormone balance. Studies show that it positively impacts libido in both men and women.

» Shown to increase athletic performance. A study of eight male cyclists found that they improved their 25-mile race times after 14 days of supplementing with maca extract.[17]

SUPERFOOD INFUSION #3

MESQUITE

Mesquite is a delicious, high-protein, highly nutritious food that grows in dry, desert-like climates.

» Like every ingredient in Protein Breakthrough, mesquite is naturally glutenfree, while also being rich in iron, lysine, manganese, potassium, and zinc…

» Studies have shown that diets rich

in potassium, an essential mineral and electrolyte, can increase bone mineral density – very helpful for those who push their bodies in the gym.

» Mesquite flour is also low on the glycemic index, which can help to keep blood sugar levels under control.

» Good source of soluble fiber, tannins, inulin, and mucilaginous polysaccharides. All of this helps keep your glucose in the optimal zone for workout performance.

SUPERFOOD INFUSION #4

LUCUMA

Nicknamed the “gold of the Incas,” lucuma has been used as a traditional remedy in South America for centuries.

» Contains high amounts of both soluble and insoluble fiber, unlike most other common sweeteners.

» Lucuma is particularly rich in polyphenols and carotenoids, two groups of antioxidants known for their antiinflammatory, and heart-health-promoting properties.

» Lucuma can also help with blood sugar control and provide stable energy. It does this by preventing the action of the alpha-glucosidase enzyme. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down complex carbs into simple sugars that tend to spike blood sugar levels.[18]

PROTEIN BREAKTHROUGH #3

HIGH-ANTIOXIDANT, SUPERFOOD BLEND

Another part of how we give Protein Breakthrough its industry-leading taste is through the use of superfoods.

The right combination of superfoods also helps add the perfect balance of nutrients, so that it works as an effective meal replacement.

Superfoods also help with supporting benefits such as hormone support, energy, and recovery.

Protein Breakthrough Berry Bliss is loaded with high-antioxidant superfoods.

After much experimentation, we found the following superfoods make Protein Breakthrough taste amazing.

And also help YOU feel incredible when you take it:

SUPERFOOD #1

STRAWBERRY POWDER

Strawberries not only provide delicious flavor — they are an excellent source of vitamin C, manganese, folate (vitamin B9), and potassium.

Strawberries are also high in antioxidants and nutrients that can support heart health and blood sugar control:

» Studies have found a relationship between berry anthocyanins — like those found in strawberries — and improved heart health. [12]

» Strawberries can reduce spikes in both glucose and insulin following a carb-rich meal, compared to a carb-rich meal without strawberries. [13]

SUPERFOOD #2

RASPBERRY POWDER

Raspberries provide much more than just a sweet, tangy flavor — they are loaded with nutrients that can help support immune function and iron absorption.

This includes vitamin C in abundance, plus small amounts of Vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin B6,

calcium, and zinc.

» An 8-week study on obese individuals found fed freeze-dried red raspberry helped with inflammation and oxidative stress. [14]

» Another study found that ellagic acid, one of raspberries’ antioxidants, can prevent oxidative damage and also repair damaged DNA. [15]

SUPERFOOD #3 BEETROOT POWDER

Packed with essential nutrients, beetroots are a great source of fiber, folate (vitamin B9), manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C.

Beetroot juice and extract (the same kind you find in Protein Breakthrough Berry Bliss) has become one of the more popular supplements among athletes, largely due to the boost in nitric oxide and improved blood flow it provides.

» Beetroot juice powder helps with blood

pressure and works rapidly, with one study showing a meaningful drop in a period of a few hours, likely due to increased levels of nitric oxide. [16]

» The extract can also improve workout performance, increase stamina, boost oxygen use, and lead to better endurance and training overall. [17]

SUPERFOOD #4 BLACKBERRY POWDER

Blackberries are not only a delicious, high-potency source of vitamin C — they also deliver benefits not typically found in other berries.

This includes high levels of vitamin K (which is essential for vitamin D absorption), the ability to boost brain health, and even support oral health.

» Blackberries may improve brain health and help prevent memory loss caused by aging. [18]

» The study found blackberry extract has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory abilities against some types of bacteria that cause oral/dental problems. [19]

SUPERFOOD #6 BLUEBERRY POWDER

Scientists believe blueberries are the “king of all berries” — largely due to their extremely dark color and highest antioxidant levels of all common fruits and vegetables.

The main antioxidant compounds in blueberries are polyphenol antioxidants called flavonoids, which deliver a wide range of researched benefits.

» In one study, 168 people drank 34 ounces (1 liter) of a juice that included a large concentration of blueberry. After four weeks, oxidative DNA damage due to free radicals was reduced by 20%. [22]

» A study with nine older adults who suffered from mild cognitive impairment consumed blueberry juice every day. After 12 weeks, their brain function markers improved considerably. [23]

SUPERFOOD #7

MACADAMIA OIL POWDER

Macadamia oil powder is another ingredient that helps give Protein Breakthrough its silky smooth, creamy texture. Macadamia nuts are high in healthy fats and research shows they may help those trying to lose weight.

SUPERFOOD #5 CRANBERRY

Cranberries have become an increasingly “hot” superfood due to their health properties not found in other berries.

In fact, research has linked the nutrients in cranberries to a lower risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) — this is particularly unique to cranberries — along with improved immune function and healthy blood pressure.

» A study of 516 participants found that taking cranberry extract twice per day reduced the incidence of UTIs. [20]

» Another 78-person study found that a single dose of a low calorie cranberry extract every day improved a person’s regulation of blood sugar, inflammation, and HDL (good cholesterol ratio). [21]

The macadamia oil powder in this formula also contains dietary fiber, manganese, thiamin, and a good amount of copper (a nutrient not always easily obtained in the modern diet).

» One study showed that eating a diet high in MUFAs from macadamia oil can reduce metabolic risk factors in humans. [24]

» There are promising animal studies which show macadamia nut oil as a supplement can reduce the size of fat cells after 12 weeks. [25]

THE ULTIMATE HEALTHY SWEETENER BLEND

One of the areas we worked hardest on with Protein Breakthrough was perfecting its sweetness – without any chemical aftertaste.

This is honestly an entire science and art of its own that took us years to nail.

If you’ve tried a variety of plant protein products like I have, you know that most have weird, “artificially sweet” tastes – because they’re not balanced.

Our CEO Matt is a keto guy with a sweet tooth, and he’s constantly doing experiments in the kitchen with healthy, low glycemic sweeteners.

We pushed hard to achieve what we think is the perfect combination of the four best natural sweeteners: monk fruit, erythritol, stevia, and a pinch of coconut sugar.

5 BIG, HEALTHY SWEETENER SECRETS

After testing countless combinations, here’s what we discovered:

1. WE WANTED TO USE THE HEALTHIEST SWEETENERS POSSIBLE…

So we eliminated questionable sweeteners such as xylitol (which can spike blood sugar), normal sugar, sucralose, and aspartame.

2. OUR PRIMARY SWEETENERS ARE MONK FRUIT AND ERYTHRITOL.

We believe these are two of the healthiest natural sweeteners you can use.

3. THEN WE USED A MICRODOSE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY STEVIA YOU CAN BUY.

There are ZERO aftertastes with this stevia. It’s over 99% pure. Most of the stevia on the market has a bitter aftertaste because its purity isn’t high enough.

4. WE ALSO ADDED A MICRODOSE OF COCONUT SUGAR.

The smallest amount of coconut sugar is just enough to bring everything together.

5. SYNERGY IS THE KEY.

Each sweetener hits your palate and taste buds differently. To maximize the sweetness, you want to use a variety of healthy sweeteners in the right ratios.

In other words, when you use four sweeteners instead of one or two, you can use less of each and get a much better flavor.

The result is a low-carb yet sweet flavor that has ZERO strange aftertastes.

8 REASONS

WHY PROTEIN BREAKTHROUGH IS THE ULTIMATE PLANT-BASED PROTEIN

We studied what would make the ultimate plant-based protein the most successful meal replacement long, hard, and deep…

We spent countless hours determining the main components of a successful meal replacement.

At the end of the day we realized there are 8 critical components.

Beyond containing a high serving of quality plant protein — our breakthrough also includes these 8 components of an ultimate plant-based protein:

2. IT SUPPORTS LEAN MUSCLE MASS.

With the right amino acid balance, our worldclass protein product not only helps you build muscle… It also protects the muscle you have from breaking down.

This is critical if you’re looking to see major gains in your muscle mass and eager to see your lean muscle appear with deeper definition day in and day out when you look in the mirror.

3. IT REDUCES APPETITE.

Protein helps weight loss in several ways, but one of the most important ways our breakthrough protein product does this is by increasing “satiety.”

Our breakthrough not only helps reduce appetite throughout the day, it also helps banish cravings for sweets that might haunt you (especially those late night desires – chocolate chip cookies anyone?).

1. IT TASTES DELICIOUS.

This is #1. Without great taste, any protein product is pretty much dead on arrival.

Our protein not only includes high-serving quality – it truly tastes so “out of this world” delicious you’ll be shocked at how powerfully healthy it still is.

4. IT’S NOT ONLY HIGH IN PROTEIN, BUT IT’S ALSO LOW-CARB.

Many people are already able to get enough carbs in their diets. Others are avoiding carbs and following low carb diets.

To make sure our blend was striking the right balance of nutrients, we’ve loaded up our breakthrough with essential amino acids to feed your muscles instead.

5. IT IS LOW GLYCEMIC.

Lots of proteins (like whey) can spike your blood sugar through the roof.

Our breakthrough was made with this specifically in mind, as the need for people to be especially mindful of managing blood sugar levels is becoming more and more frequent by the day.

Our blend has the perfect combination of proteins so as not to affect blood sugar levels.

6. IT’S EASY TO DIGEST.

This is a huge one that most of the “kitchen sink” protein formulas out there totally ignore. If a

protein is not designed to be easy to digest, it will lead to bloating… water retention… and other issues.

After my nightmare digestive symptoms following my experimentation, it was especially important to me that our breakthrough would be easy on the gut.

7. IT’S LOADED WITH NUTRIENTS – YET SUITABLE FOR DAILY CONSUMPTION.

This is a tricky one. Having superfoods properly paired with protein is a great way to bring in added nutrition, but there’s a fine line, because if you throw in every nutrient known to man (like many plant proteins try to do), you can cause imbalances and long-term issues.

We made sure our protein blend included the right combination of nutrients for everyday use that wouldn’t cause digestive problems.

8. IT CONTAINS INSOLUBLE FIBER.

We believe that if you want smooth and flawless bowel movements, then insoluble fiber is the key.

Our breakthrough includes insoluble fiber to help support your digestion even further.

THIS IS THE ULTIMATE PLANT-BASED PROTEIN

BURSTING WITH DELICIOUS FLAVOR AND PACKED WITH NUTRIENT-RICH, ORGANIC INGREDIENTS

After ensuring Protein Breakthrough met the 8 components to a successful meal replacement, we realized there truly was no other product out there that also met all of the criteria...

Especially at the level of quality we demanded.

Not to mention the percentage of organic ingredients in Protein Breakthrough Chocolate Bliss is 97.375%.

WANT MORE PROOF? THE SCIENCE SUPPORTS PROTEIN BREAKTHROUGH

IN NEARLY A DOZEN WAYS

Protein Breakthrough is 100% gut-friendly, something few proteins can claim.

Research shows the protein sources inside Protein Breakthrough may actually increase

your good gut bacteria and increase highly beneficial bacterial products, according to a 2011 study.[19]

This is due to something called “glycation”...

Because humans don’t have enzymes to digest glycated proteins, the protein in the formula stays partially digested in the gut.

It then becomes food for your gut bacteria in the colon.

For instance, one study tested the effects of both glycated and non-glycated pea proteins on the microbiome of a healthy 30-year-old female.

At the end of 24 hours, the glycated pea protein culture had the most beneficial bacterial growth.

But it gets better: because the pea protein cultures—just like you’ll find in Protein Breakthrough— had more Bacteroidetes (the “lean” bacteria) than those who didn’t take it.

Plus, short-chain fatty acids, which are very beneficial substances produced by the gut flora, also significantly increased in cultures fed with the proteins inside Protein Breakthrough.

BEWARE OF PROTEINS THAT DISRUPT YOUR GUT HEALTH...

What about other protein sources?

Well, another pilot study found that whey and beef protein supplementation slightly decreased healthy bacteria [20] .

Whereas pea protein, just like you find in Protein Breakthrough, was as effective or better compared to whey to support response to resistance training. This is according to a placebo-controlled clinical trial published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition [21].

The study examined 161 men aged 18 - 35 years who took whey protein, pea protein, and placebo supplements.

All participants were involved in a progressive 3 days/week exercise program that involved arm curl, lat pulldown, and bench press exercises for 12 weeks.

The reason those consuming pea protein performed so well is that pea protein is high in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs).

BCAAs are important for muscle building and exercise recovery. This study suggests that pea proteins can support muscle growth at least as well as whey protein.

PROTEIN BREAKTHROUGH SOLVES MAJOR PROBLEMS PRESENT IN DAIRY PROTEIN PRODUCTS

Whether you are looking to build muscle... reduce hunger... or even boost energy levels

...plant protein powder is a superior option.

Sure, dairy-based proteins like whey and casein are common in the competitive bodybuilding and fitness worlds.

But they come with many downsides:

Whey stimulates insulin secretion as strongly as a white bread meal because of its high branched-chain amino acid content and fast digestion [22]. As a result, many people become ravenous within 30 minutes to 1 hour of consuming whey.

Casein is harder to digest, so it’s a slowerrelease protein than whey, but it still stimulates insulin response. However, casein A1 can be a strong immune stimulant, triggering digestive problems and inflammation [23]. Casein also increases IGF-1 [24].

Another important thing to note is that due to the insulinogenic and inflammatory effects of dairy proteins, dairy consumption can cause acne development [25]. This may explain why many bodybuilders struggle with acne.

On the other hand, plant proteins have been shown to achieve comparable effects for muscle development as dairy proteins without those same side effects [26] [27].

PROTEIN BREAKTHROUGH HAS NONE OF THESE “FATAL FLAWS”

As you’ve seen, so many of the protein products out there are incredibly problematic.

Protein Breakthrough, on the other hand is...

Delicious... perfectly balanced... gluten-free AND non-allergenic... good for your gut... easy-todigest...

... all while delivering on the incredible promise of protein for muscle, fitness, weight-loss, appetite reduction, energy and so much more.

With Protein Breakthrough, we weren’t just looking to create the best protein on the market...

We wanted to create the “ultimate meal replacement” — and that’s exactly what we did.

Best of all...
