Plant-based protein supplements, derived from sources such as peas, pumpkin, watermelon, and various grains, seeds, and legumes, have gained popularity for a number of reasons. Here are some benefits of consuming plant-based protein supplements.*

Pumpkin Seed Protein:

• Rich Nutrient Profile: Pumpkin seeds are known to be rich in magnesium, zinc, omega-3, and omega-6 fatty acids. These nutrients are beneficial for heart health, bone health, and immunity. *
• Contains Natural Antioxidants: Pumpkin seeds have antioxidants like vitamin E and carotenoids, which can help reduce oxidative stress in the body. *
• Full Amino Acid Profile: Pumpkin seed protein provides all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source. *

Watermelon Seed Protein:

• Heart Health: Watermelon seeds are a good source of magnesium, which can help with cardiovascular health. *
• High Protein Content: Watermelon seed protein is typically composed of about 80% protein. *
• Good Digestibility: It’s often well-digested, making it suitable for those with certain sensitivities. *

Pea Protein:

• Complete Protein: Pea protein is also a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids.
• Highly Digestible: It’s often touted for its digestibility, especially when compared to other legume-based proteins.
• Lysine and Arginine: Pea protein is a good source of lysine (important for bone health and tissue repair) and arginine (which can benefit heart health and circulation). *
• Sustainable: Peas have a lower water and carbon footprint compared to many other protein sources, making pea protein an environmentally-friendly option.

SL14 Probiotics, which are live beneficial bacteria and yeasts, can offer multiple health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. These benefits largely arise from the role of these microorganisms in maintaining a balanced gut microbiome. Here are some ways probiotics can benefit health:

Gastrointestinal Health:

• Digestive Balance: Probiotics may help maintain a balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut, which can be disrupted by factors like antibiotics, illness, or a poor diet. *
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Some people with IBS experience reduced symptoms when taking probiotics. *
• Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Certain strains might may help maintain remission in conditions like ulcerative colitis. *

Immune System Boost:

• Probiotics may enhance the body’s natural defenses by promoting the production of natural antibodies and increasing the presence of beneficial immune cells like T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. *

Reduced Risk of Infections:

• Probiotics may inhibit the growth of harmful pathogenic bacteria by producing substances that are antimicrobial or by competing for nutrients and attachment sites. *

Enhanced Nutrient Absorption:

• They may improve the absorption of certain nutrients in the intestines, such as minerals. *

Lactose Digestion:

• Certain probiotic strains may help people digest lactose if they’re lactose intolerant. *

Skin Health:

• Preliminary evidence suggests that probiotics might help with certain skin conditions like eczema. *

The whole-food vitamin blend we use, is derived directly from natural food sources. These vitamins are usually presented in a complex matrix along with other naturally occurring nutrients from the source. Here are some benefits often associated with whole-food vitamin blends:

• Bioavailability: Since these vitamins come from natural food sources, they may be more easily recognized and utilized by the body, potentially increasing their absorption and effectiveness.
• Gentler on the Stomach: Some people find that whole food vitamins are less irritating to the stomach than synthetic ones, possibly due to the presence of other natural compounds from the food source.
• Synergistic Benefits: The combination of vitamins, minerals, and other compounds found naturally in foods might work together in a synergistic manner, providing benefits beyond those of the individual components.
