AIM ProPeas Vegetable Protein Powder

Protein is key to living well. The human body needs a significant amount of protein in relation to vitamin and minerals. Protein keeps body tissue healthy by building up, maintaining, and replacing the tissues that compose our muscles, organs, and immune system. Proteins are composed of amino acids that, once consumed, are used individually by the body for a number of necessary functions, including the creation of enzymes and hormones. Alone, humans are only able to naturally produce about one-half of the necessary amino acids that are most important for sustained health. The rest must be derived from protein-rich foods. ProPeas contains 12 grams of pea protein per serving.

The fact that our bodies do not store all the protein that we require makes protein different than fat and carbohydrates. While the latter two can be drawn upon when needed, the same cannot be said for protein, which makes getting an adequate amount in our diets that much more important.

AIM ProPeas™ is an all-natural vegetarian protein source made from field peas. Unlike whey and soy protein, pea protein is not a major allergen. As such, it provides an alternative to most mainstream, animal protein sources that are high in fats and bad cholesterol.

Weight Management

ProPeas is slowly digested, thus reducing appetite. It also maintains lean muscle, resulting in an increased ability to burn calories. As a high-protein, low-calorie complement to a healthy diet and exercise program, ProPeas can improve your fitness.

Protein has the potential to control weight in three ways: increasing the feeling of fullness (satiety), increasing metabolic rate, and aiding in the maintenance of lean muscle mass.

• Satiety - Of the three macronutrients – carbohydrates, fat, and protein – protein takes the longest to digest in the stomach, leading to feeling fuller longer. This feeling of fullness can prevent the over-consumption of calories, which is one of the leading causes of obesity.
• Metabolic Rate - A faster metabolism can result with adequate protein consumption. Metabolism is the process by which our bodies convert food into energy or store food as fat; the higher your metabolism, the more fat you will burn. Protein increases metabolism by making the body work harder during digestion. When protein is digested, it requires more calories than digesting carbohydrates or sugars, thereby strengthening the body’s metabolic processes.
• Lean Muscle Mass - As protein intake is increased, the body can create muscle faster and easier. The more muscle someone has, the more calories he or she burns naturally, meaning that a similar amount of food intake could result in losing weight.
