Frequently Asked Questions.
Plant protein refers to the protein found in various plant-based
sources such as legumes (beans, lentils, peas), nuts, seeds, grains, and
vegetables. It's an essential component of a balanced diet, providing amino
acids necessary for bodily functions and muscle repair.
While both plant and animal proteins can provide essential amino
acids, plant proteins often contain less of one or more essential amino acids
compared to animal proteins. However, consuming a variety of plant-based
protein sources throughout the day can ensure you get all the amino acids your
body needs.
Hydrolyzed pea protein is a plant-based
protein derived from peas that has undergone hydrolysis, a process that breaks
down the protein into smaller peptides and amino acids using enzymes or water.
This process makes the protein kind to your gut, easier to digest, more
soluble, and more effective product and dietary supplements for its
moisturizing, conditioning, and muscle-building properties.
Yes, plant protein can provide sufficient protein for muscle
building and repair when consumed as part of a balanced diet. Athletes and
individuals engaged in regular exercise can meet their protein needs through a
combination of plant-based protein sources.
PDCAAS-1 is the highest score a protein can
achieve on the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score
(PDCAAS) scale, indicating it is a complete and highly digestible
protein that provides all essential amino acids needed by the human body. A
score of 1.0 signifies a protein with a perfect balance of amino acids that is
easily digested and absorbed. PDCAAS Scores of TwoKind Plant Protein is ~1.
Probiotics support digestive health by
maintaining a balance of "good" and "bad" bacteria in the
gut, alleviating symptoms of digestive disorders like IBS and diarrhea, and
improving nutrient absorption. They also strengthen the gut barrier, enhance
the immune response, and help restore gut flora after antibiotic use. TwoKind
Plant Protein contains approximately 3 billion colony-forming units (CFUs) of
live microorganisms, which are the active bacteria or yeasts.
No artificial sweetener or sucralose has been
used. Twokind plant protein contains a natural sweetener blend of Monk Fruit
& Thaumatin. Like Monkfruit, Thaumatin is a natural, low-calorie protein
derived from the arils of the West African katemfe fruit (Thaumatococcus
daniellii), known for its intense sweetness. This is a natural sweetener.
No. At TwoKind, we are mindful to use natural
flavors in all our products to help balance nature & your gut, as it says
“GENTLE ON YOUR GUT”.
Yes, TwoKind plant protein has been derived
from Protein blend (Pea hydrolyzed protein, Brown rice protein), which is
suitable for vegan and vegetarians. It allows individuals to meet their protein
needs without consuming animal sourced products or milk. By incorporating a
variety of plant-based protein sources, vegans and vegetarians can ensure they
obtain all essential amino acids and other nutrients necessary for optimal
health.
Yes,
consuming plant protein has been linked to various health benefits, including
lower risk of heart disease, improved weight management, and better blood sugar
control. Plant-based diets rich in protein from sources such as beans, nuts,
and whole grains are typically higher in fiber and antioxidants, which
contribute to overall health and well-being.
Yes, plant protein generally has a lower
environmental footprint compared to animal protein. Producing plant-based
protein requires fewer resources such as land, water, and energy, and generates
fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Choosing plant-based protein over animal
protein can contribute to reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainability.
