STEP 3:
Take Organic Plant-Based Protein
within an hour after workout & throughout
the day for an additional boost of protein.
by Dawn Thorpe Jarvis, Garden of Life ® Senior Director of Nutrition
Science & Educational Content
Garden of Life believes in providing only the cleanest ingredients
in our protein powders—they are all Certified USDA Organic and
Non-GMO Verified. But our Sport Plant-Based Protein had to be
different. It had to be the best way you—as an active, fitness-
oriented person—could fuel your body. So, we took it to the
next level for sport by obtaining both NSF Certified for Sport ®
and Informed-Choice for Sport certifications that ensure there
are no banned athletic substances present—just wholesome
clean nutrients.
ATHLETES' BODIES ARE THEIR TEMPLES
For anyone working out and taking care of their body, clean
quality nutrition supplementation is extremely important. To elite
athletes, their bodies are literally their temples and often their
livelihood as well. Historically, there has been a certain level of
concern amongst elite athletes and sports professionals about the
cleanliness of the ingredients used in sports supplements. Parents
have similar concerns about their children involved in sports, as
do those that shop in health food stores because they seek better
quality, cleaner nutritional products.
ORGANIC MUSCLE RECOVERY BLEND
Along with the higher amount of protein, BCAAs and the two
sports certifications, the addition of the Organic Muscle Recovery
Blend takes Organic Plant-Based protein to another level.
By including organic tart cherries, organic apples, organic turmeric,
organic gogi berries and organic blueberries—these antioxidants
are known to promote faster recovery. Because many sports
participants compromise their immune systems due to intense
training programs, we added 2 billion CFU of a specially selected,
clinically studied probiotic that has been shown to support
immune health during intensive workouts.
REFUEL & REPAIR
Organic Plant-Based Protein is designed to REFUEL and repair
muscles. Intensive training and exercise breaks down muscle tissue
and then the body repairs and rebuilds after exercise to make
them stronger. Including protein in your refuel/recovery formula
is extremely important to:
» stop muscle catabolism (breakdown)
MULTI-SOURCED CLEAN PROTEIN » jump start muscle repair and muscle re-building
So, for our Organic Plant-Based Protein, we utilized a blend of
certified organic proteins from multiple sources, featuring our U.S.
grown organic peas to give it a great smooth and creamy texture.
Then, we added other quality proteins such as organic garbanzo
beans, organic navy beans, organic lentils and organic cranberry
seed protein. One serving delivers 3Og of complete protein
providing a full profile of all the essential amino acids, 5.5g BCAAs
and 5g glutamine, which are important to help reduce recovery
time after exercise. We don’t spike with any synthetic branched
amino acids—they all come from the organic ingredients. » support immune system health
