Why Should You Take Vegan Pea+ Protein As An Athlete? | Graeme Close Gives A Brief Insight

Professor Graeme Close, our Lead Nutritionist and Scientific Advisor gives a short insight into why you should take plant-based protein supplements as a professional athlete and the benefit it has on sports performance for those with a vegan diet.
Graeme works closely with Professor Don Maclaren on the research and development of all Nutrition X products. Our award-winning Pea+ Protein is the first in our brand-new range of plant-based supplements; a high-protein, low-sugar, vegan-friendly shake created by our team of experts to help athletes meet their daily protein needs. Formulated from pea protein isolate, each serving packs an impressive 27g+ of high-quality plant-based protein and just 0.8g of sugar.
Unlike other plant-based proteins, pea protein also contains a relatively high quantity of BCAA’s, including leucine, making it an ideal protein source for athletes needing to boost muscle growth and repair. We have also added additional leucine to give a total of 3.5g, taking this well above the theoretical 2.7g leucine threshold. With new studies regularly looking into the performance benefits for athletes of a plant-based diet, Pea+ Protein is a great shake option for vegans and non-vegans alike.
A former professional Rugby League player, Graeme is a professor of Human Physiology at Liverpool John Moores University and the only person in the UK accredited with the UKSCA, BASES and SENr qualifications. Graeme combines his academic research with nutrition and physiology consultancy to some of the worlds leading sports organisations and athletes currently working with England Rugby as Expert Nutrition Consultant. Graeme is currently the Deputy Chair of the Sport and Exercise Nutrition Register (SENr) and is a fellow of both The European College of Sport Science and The British Association Of Sport and Exercise Sciences.
