Which essential amino acid, often missing from most plant-based proteins, do we include to make PlantFusion’s protein truly complete? The answer is methionine, a crucial amino acid that helps ensure your body gets all the nutrients it needs for optimal muscle recovery, growth, and overall health.

A complete protein has 9 crucial amino acids that the body cannot produce by itself. These amino acids are needed for protein synthesis, muscle repair and a range of bodily functions. Animal protein like meat and dairy typically contain all of the amino acids, but many plant-based sources are lower in one or more—so it is imperative when supplementing with a plant-based protein powder to select a protein that fills in the missing gaps.

PlantFusion’s Complete Protein stands out because it includes methionine (an essential amino acid) often limited in many plant-based proteins. Methionine is essential for protein synthesis, removes toxins from the body and supports absorption of minerals such as zinc and selenium. If your protein is lacking in Methionine, your body might not be able to utilize protein for muscle repair and other processes.

Many plant-based protein powders miss out on or have very low levels of one or more of these essential amino acids.

Methionine is an essential amino acid that is often limited in grains and legumes, that initiates the process of protein synthesis and supports your natural detoxification processes.

Lysine is essential for muscle repair and immune function and is often disproportionately low in grain-based protein sources. It is vital for the development of sturdy connective tissue and general health.

Tryptophan is important not only as a precursor to serotonin production, but also crucial for nitrogen balance. It is not always found in the right quantities in single-source plant proteins.

Threonine is important in the formation of two important proteins in skin and connective tissue, collagen and elastin. These proteins that support skin and connective tissue. So, in plant-based protein powders that come from grains their bioavailability is sometimes reduced.

‍Leucine, a type of branched-chain amino acid is an essential addition to your muscle-building and recovery tool-kit. While present in some plant proteins like peas, it may not be sufficient in others, which makes a blended protein like PlantFusion's the perfect source for ensuring all your bases are covered.

PlantFusion’s Complete Protein is specially formulated to address the gaps found in many plant-based proteins. It covers a wide range of protein sources, such as pea, amaranth and algae to guarantee a full spectrum of essential amino acids. Here’s how it’s different:

• Inclusion of Methionine:Unlike many plant-based protein powders, PlantFusion ensures that methionine is not only present but appears in sufficient quantities to truly make it a complete protein. This helps to support muscle recovery, detoxification, and efficient protein utilization.
• Balanced Amino Acid Profile: PlantFusion uses a variety of plant protein sources that together contain an ideal balance of all nine essential amino acids to keep your muscles, bones and overall wellness on a plant-based diet.
• Superior Bioavailability: Formulated for optimal absorption, PlantFusion’s protein blend maximizes the body’s ability to utilize protein for muscle repair and other functions, while also eliminating digestive discomfort common in other protein powders.

Choosing a complete protein ensures your body gets all the amino acids it needs for:

• Muscle Repair and Growth:Essential amino acids like methionine and leucine help to rebuild muscle tissues and enhance strength.
• Immune Support: Amino acids such as lysine and threonine are involved in immune cell production.
• Hormone and Enzyme Production: Proteins serve as the foundation for many hormones and enzymes that regulate important bodily functions.

If you’re seeking a plant-based protein that does more than just meet the basics, PlantFusion’s Complete Protein is the answer. With the inclusion of methionine and a complete amino acid profile, it provides everything you need to support muscle recovery, growth, and overall health.
