Axe and Sledge Plant Fed

Plant Fed: A Premium Vegan Protein Powder

Studies have shown that pea protein performs just as well as whey protein for improving performance, body composition, strength, and muscle mass when paired with a resistance training program.[1,2]

Pea protein is technically a complete protein source since it contains all nine essential amino acids. However, it is rather low in methionine, so that’s why we also added brown rice protein in order to make up for that.

Compared to other plant protein sources, pea protein contains a higher amount of branched chain aminos, including leucine, isoleucine, and valine, which are crucial for muscle protein synthesis. Pea protein is also one of the most easily digestible plant protein sources.

Since pea protein has so many benefits, it’s the primary protein source in Plant Fed!

The second protein source in Plant Fed is brown rice protein, which also has several health and performance benefits. Similar to pea protein, some studies have shown that supplementing with rice protein is comparable to whey protein for improving body composition and performance when combined with a resistance training program.[3]

Furthermore, rice protein is considered to be hypoallergenic, which means that the chances of it eliciting an allergic response is very unlikely. If you’ve ever tried a whey protein supplement and experienced gas or bloating, then it may be a good idea to make the switch to a plant protein supplement.

Unlike other protein powders that leave you gassy and bloated, Plant Fed was formulated to enhance digestion, rather than inhibit it, which is why Axe & Sledge added digestive enzymes. DigeSEB® is a proprietary digestive enzyme blend that was developed by Specialty Enzymes and Probiotics.
