This blend combines organic pea protein, organic rice protein, organic pumpkin protein and organic hemp protein, all of European origin and organic certified. The complementarity of these four sources achieves an amino-acid profile comparable to the best animal proteins, with 37% essential amino acids and a PDCAAS score above 1 — no limiting amino acid reduces the blend’s effectiveness, which is rarely the case for single-source proteins.

With 80% pure protein, under 2% sugar and digestibility above 93%, this powder suits demanding athletes as well as people with digestive sensitivities. Its BCAA content reaches 14.2 g per 100 g of powder, including 6.5 g of leucine, the amino acid most involved in muscle protein synthesis. Each 30 g serving covers around 42% of an adult’s daily protein needs.

Plant proteins taken alone often show an amino-acid imbalance: pea is low in methionine, rice in lysine. By combining pea, rice, hemp and pumpkin, each source compensates for the others’ weaknesses, giving a complete amino profile with no limiting amino acid that rivals animal proteins. This multi-source approach also removes the risk of a specific essential amino-acid shortfall, even on a strict vegan diet — the PDCAAS score above 1 confirms that the entire protein ingested is usable by the body, with no loss from an amino-acid imbalance.

Per 100 g of powder, this blend provides 80 g of protein, 9.3 g of fat (of which 1.7 g saturated), 2 g of carbohydrate (of which 0.45 g sugars) and 409 kcal. Its low phytate content supports mineral absorption and overall digestibility. The average amino profile includes 6.5 g of leucine, 4.2 g of valine, 3.5 g of isoleucine (14.2 g of BCAAs in total), 5 g of lysine, 7 g of arginine, 4.2 g of phenylalanine and 0.83 g of tryptophan per 100 g — ensuring optimal coverage of essential amino-acid needs, including those often lacking in plant-based diets.

Mix 30 g of powder (about 2 scoops) into 250 ml of water, a plant drink or a smoothie. Shake or blend vigorously for an even texture — the powder can also be added to porridge, pancakes or muesli. For athletes, it’s ideal post-workout or as a protein snack between meals. The 500 g pouch provides around 16 servings of 30 g, two to three weeks of supplementation at one daily serving.

This product is organic certified, GMO-free, gluten-free, soy-free and lactose-free, with no excipients, colourings, artificial flavourings or preservatives, not tested on animals. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose without medical advice. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before any significant protein supplementation. Food supplements should not replace a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Store in a cool, dry place after opening.

This blend suits athletes and strength trainers wanting to support muscle mass gain, vegetarians and vegans looking to round out their intake without deficiency, and older adults wanting to maintain muscle mass and bone density. Its high digestibility (above 93%) and absence of major allergens make it a suitable option for sensitive people, and its low sugar and phytate content also suits low-calorie or cutting diets, where the goal is to maximise protein intake while limiting carbohydrates.

What are the differences between plant and animal protein?

Animal proteins naturally contain all essential amino acids in optimal proportions, but also bring lactose, casein and saturated fat. This 4-protein organic plant blend achieves an equivalent amino profile through source complementarity, with no allergens and less saturated fat.

How is good assimilation ensured?

Assimilation is supported by a manufacturing process that removes unwanted carbohydrates and fats while keeping the protein fraction intact. Digestibility above 93% and low phytate content point to optimal absorption. Mix the powder thoroughly and favour lukewarm or cold temperatures.

Who is this plant protein particularly suited to?

It suits athletes seeking performance, people wanting to make up for a diet low in animal protein, older adults, pregnant women (under medical advice), and vegetarians and vegans. A PDCAAS score above 1 guarantees no essential amino-acid shortfall.

Is there an allergy risk?

The formula excludes the main food allergens: gluten, lactose, soy. It is organic certified, GMO-free and not tested on animals. The production method minimises irritant substances, though it’s still best to follow the recommended use, especially for a first try.
