What is ioPea™ Protein?
Our organic ioPea™ protein goes through an all natural process which utilizes non-thermal atmospheric plasma to enhance the structure of the protein to allow the body’s digestive enzymes to work more effectively and optimize their performance.
What is the science?
In a double-blind, randomized, crossover trial comparing hydrolyzed whey protein isolate, standard pea protein, and ioPea, results showed blood plasma levels of total essential amino acid and BCAA concentration were greater in all treated conditions at 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes post consumption of ioPea™ protein.
What does that all mean?
It means that that our Peformance Plant Protein outpeforms whey and versus standard pea protein it has:
- 3x better essential amino acid absorption
- 3x better BCAA absorption
- 5x better leucine aborption
What are the benefits?
With better bioavailability and absorption of protein you can:
- Build lean muscle
- Recover faster
- More protein, less calories
- Easier to digest
Why does leucine matter?
Leucine is a key amino acid for lean muscle growth and protein synthesis. Plant proteins are often less effective at stimulating muscle protein synthesis because they have lower leucine content and are less digestible. ioPea™ increased the bioavailability of leucine by 500% and makes our Performance Plant Protein outperform even whey.

The process actually improves the taste of the pea protein plus we paired it with delicious chocolate and vanilla flavors to create one of the smoothest, most delicious plant-based proteins out there.
No, and that is one of the best things about it! Since it is easier for your body to absorb the protein, it has to work way less to break it down which means it is also easy to digest. We paired it with a digestive enzyme designed specifically for protein to make it even easier on the gut!
