Been waiting for the right protein product to come along? Your wait is over. AIM ProPeas™ offers a healthy, safe, vegetable source of protein that provides an alternative to animal-protein diets and whey and soy protein products.

Protein is a vital part to a healthy diet, but it carries with it several questions. Here are answers to a few of them.

Isn’t protein for serious athletes only?
Athletes are noted for their love of protein shakes and protein supplements, but for them, protein supplementation is necessary. They are simply replacing the loads of proteins they burn through in their workout.

Protein will help build muscle if you combine it with a serious strength training regimen. For everyone else, protein helps maintain lean muscle mass and promote weight management – nothing more. It will not bulk you up unless you follow the recommended athlete serving and train hard.

Are certain forms of protein healthier than others?
AIM specifically designed its protein product to be accessible to all. ProPeas comes from field peas. It contains no animal protein, no whey, and no soy. Thanks to the green source, ProPeas protein is allergen-free, cholesterol-free, and low-calorie. It is one of the healthiest forms of protein available.

What does protein do?
Protein is an essential body nutrient, present in every cell in the body. An important building block for bones, muscles, cartilage, and skin, protein can repair and build tissue, create enzymes and other body chemicals, and regulate body processes. Most importantly, the body does not naturally store or create protein, meaning that we need to get our required protein amounts from our diet.

How much protein is too much?
Protein recommendations are often based on the absolute minimum requirements for healthy individuals. Of course, not everyone falls into the category of healthy individuals, and not everyone will be aiming for the very bottom.

Consult the back of the AIM ProPeas label to find what protein serving size is right for you. The recommended daily servings chart includes amounts for adolescents, male and female adults, pregnant/lactating women, and athletes.

ProPeas is the total protein package, and it answers a lot of questions about a healthy means of protein supplementation. Put it to the test for yourself, and see how well it works.
