What This Product Is

PhytoTein is a delicious, dairy-free, plant-based protein powder that promotes protein status and nutritional support in the body. It features an organic protein blend primarily composed of organic pea protein with additional protein from organic sunflower, pumpkin seed, sacha inchi, and rice sources, providing 20 g of protein per 1-scoop serving. This formula is a true vegetarian- and vegan-friendly protein powder that is easily digestible and easily absorbed in the body, offering a variety of nutritional benefits.*

PhytoTein is a pleasant-tasting protein alternative for individuals with allergies or sensitivities to difficult-to-digest proteins, such as egg, whey, casein, and soy, and for those who have lactose intolerance. The high-quality pea protein in this formula is non-genetically modified and has a neutral taste and smooth texture. Research has established the role of dietary protein in supporting healthy weight, body composition, lean body mass, metabolic health, and feeling satisfied after meals. Protein from plant sources has been shown to support heart and metabolic health.*

Mechanism of Action

Multi-Source Plant Protein Blend

Five high-quality, plant-based organic proteins (pea, sunflower, pumpkin seed, sacha inchi, and rice) provide a well-balanced amino acid profile similar to whey protein. The multi-source approach ensures comprehensive amino acid coverage, complementing the strengths of each plant protein source to deliver all essential amino acids.*

Protein Synthesis and Body Composition

Sufficient protein consumption provides the amino acids required for protein synthesis in the body, serving as the main structural component of muscles, bones, hair, skin, nails, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Research supports the role of dietary protein in healthy weight, body composition, lean body mass, metabolic health, and satiety. Increased protein intake may also benefit athletes, aging populations, and those with greater protein requirements.*

Digestibility and Plant-Based Advantages

PhytoTein is easily digestible and easily absorbed, avoiding the anti-nutrients and estrogenic compounds found in soy protein. Protein from plant sources has been shown to support heart and metabolic health. The formula also provides meaningful iron content (6 mg in chocolate, 5 mg in vanilla and unflavored varieties).*

Athletic Applications

  • Athletes and bodybuilders sensitive to dairy who need high-quality protein*
  • Vegetarians and vegans seeking a multi-source plant protein blend*
  • Individuals with allergies to whey, casein, soy, or egg proteins*
  • Those seeking healthy body composition and lean muscle mass support*
  • Individuals wanting plant-based protein for metabolic and heart health*

Product Questions

How does PhytoTein compare to Organic PurePea for plant protein?

PhytoTein is a blend of five organic plant proteins (pea, sunflower, pumpkin seed, sacha inchi, rice) providing a broader amino acid and nutrient profile with meaningful iron content. Organic PurePea is a single-source organic pea protein isolate with a very clean ingredient profile. Both provide 20 g of protein per serving. Choose PhytoTein for a multi-source blend with complementary amino acids, or Organic PurePea for a pure, single-source pea protein.*

Why are five different protein sources combined?

Each plant protein source has a unique amino acid strength. By combining pea, sunflower, pumpkin seed, sacha inchi, and rice proteins, PhytoTein ensures comprehensive essential amino acid coverage that rivals whey protein. The multi-source approach compensates for the amino acid limitations of any single plant protein, delivering a complete and balanced protein profile.*

Who may benefit most from PhytoTein?

Athletes and bodybuilders with dairy sensitivities who need high-quality protein, vegetarians and vegans wanting a comprehensive plant protein blend, individuals with allergies to whey, casein, soy, or egg, those seeking body composition and lean muscle mass support from plant sources, and anyone wanting a delicious, easily digestible plant-based protein for daily use.*
