Vita Vegan Protien Chocolate

·        Pea protein contains all nine essential amino acids and all three branched-chain amino acids.

• Supports cognitive function, exercise performance, appetite control, reduced body fat, antioxidant support, increased metabolic rate, increased ketone bodies, reduced inflammation, and may combat neurodegenerative disease (290,291, 292, 293).

• Increases ketone production and provides an energy source during ketogenic diets (290, 292).

• May combat neurodegenerative disease via increased anti-inflammatory effects of ketone bodies (291,293).

• Supports cognitive function via ketone absorption across the blood-brain barrier and utilized as cerebral bioenergetic fuel (290, 292,293).

• Increases metabolic rate via increased thermogenesis and caloric expenditure from exercise (292).

• Increases energy levels via increased absorption and burning of MCT as fuel (292).

·       Supports antioxidant function via polyphenolic components with high levels of anthocyanins (cyanidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-rutinoside) (273, 274, 275).

·       May combat carcinogenesis via reduction of tumor cell proliferation, multiplicity and size of the tumors, increased anti-inflammatory capacity, increased antiproliferative activity,  and increased pro-apoptotic activity (273).

·       Supports immune health via increased oxidant, free radical scavenging, and fueling neutrophilic (immune cell) activity in chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and microbial killing (97,98).

·       Supports fat burning by increasing carnitine biosynthesis (molecule required for mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation) (97,98).

·       Supports accelerate bone healing after a fracture, increase type I collagen synthesis, and reduce oxidative stress (inflammation) (98).

·       Supports reduced DNA damage in the kidney, liver, and bone marrow (318).

·       Supports immune function via carotenoid and polyphenolic free radical scavenging capabilities, reduced DNA damage, and reduced inflammatory cytokines (261).

·       Supports vision health via ocular neuroprotective effects zeaxanthin content (found in goji berry) (262).

·       Increases neuronal protection with potent ameliorative effects on neuronal oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis and neuronal cell death (262).

·       Supports prostate health via high polyphenolic antioxidant levels (three times the antioxidant activity of green tea) that protect the prostate gland from inflammation (170).

·       Supports reduced blood pressure via increased nitric oxide production, increased cardiac output (blood flow), and reduced cholesterol levels (170.

·       Supports digestive health via combating inflammatory bowel disease (171).

·       Supports immune health via reduced inflammatory cytokines (markers of inflammation) throughout the body (171).
