VegiPro pea, pumpkin and hemp protein, 1000 g powder

Proteins - Greek: "the first, the most important"

The importance of proteins is well known and particularly appreciated by athletes. Proteins contribute to an increase in muscle mass, its maintenance and the preservation of bones. An adequate supply of proteins should therefore be part of a healthy diet.

WOSCHA VegiPro - for all those who like it soya AND animal-free

Vegans are generally faced with the problem that some nutrients are inadequately or not at all contained in their diet. This applies in particular to nutrients that are found exclusively in animal foods. These include vitamin B12, taurine and the amino acids L-cysteine, L-carnitine and creatine.
However, replacing nutrients from animal foods with plant-based ones is not easy. It requires a precise nutritional plan and the constant use of fresh ingredients. This is often just as difficult for vegans in everyday life as it is for their "normal" eating neighbours.

WOSCHA VegiPro is a soya-free protein powder that has been specially developed to meet the needs of vegans. Its ingredients can compensate for typical nutrient deficiencies in a vegan diet. However, it is also a very good alternative for anyone who prefers a plant-based protein powder.

• Pea protein, pumpkin seed protein and hemp protein (three very good plant-based protein sources), without soya
• Consists of 60 % protein (60 g per 100 g)
• high proportion of BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids)
• high proportion of l-trypothane and l-lysine
• Bioactive vitamin B12 (essential for vegans), plus vegan vitamin D3
• Extra taurine, creatine and acetyl-L-cysteine (otherwise only contained in animal products), with MCT oil
• Neutral, creamy flavour (tastes slightly sweet and vanilla-like)

WOSCHA VegiPro contains high-quality protein powder made from plant-based proteins with all amino acids

In order to ensure a sufficient supply of amino acids, a combination of two or more types of protein is always necessary with vegetable proteins. This achieves a biological value that is comparable to whey protein.
The pea protein used (like all pulses) contains a lot of L-lysine, but only a little L-methionine and L-cystine. To compensate, pumpkin seed protein and hemp protein from organic farming are added. They contain all the essential amino acids our body needs. Cheap soya has been deliberately omitted.

Compared to other plant-based protein sources, VegiPro also contains a particularly high proportion of the branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine. These so-called BCAAs (Branched-Chain Amino Acids) are abundant in hemp protein and pea protein. They are the only amino acids (as well as MCT oil from coconut oil) that are not metabolised in the liver, but are immediately available for energy production. This is particularly important for athletic vegans during strength and endurance training.

Pumpkin seed protein also contains an exceptionally high amount of L-tryptophan and has a particularly high biological value of 137, which indicates how well our body can utilise proteins from the respective food (in comparison: a hen's egg has a value of 100, whey protein 103). The favourable amino acid profile of WOSCHA VegiPro increases bioavailability and places less strain on the urea metabolism. Woscha VegiPro also scores highly with its many bioactive vitamins.

Important vitamins and minerals for vegans for an optimal basic supply

It is well known that vegans often suffer from a vitamin B12 deficiency, which can lead to disorders in the folate balance, which is why VegiPro contains easily utilisable vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) and natural folate instead of artificial folic acid. Vitamin B6 (here as pyridoxine-5-phosphate) is of central importance for protein metabolism and supports the utilisation of plant proteins.
As with non-vegans, an additional supply of vitamin D is recommended, especially in the winter months. However, vitamin D2 from plant-based foods is poorly absorbed by our bodies. That's why we use vegan vitamin D3 from Vitamin D3V® in our protein powder, which has much better bioavailability.

To round off the nutrient spectrum, WOSCHA VegiPro contains other important vitamins and minerals for vegans. For example, natural beta-carotene (precursor of vitamin A), which comes from a concentrate of the green algae Dunaliella salina, and vitamin C from an acerola cherry extract.

Zinc and iron have been added as these are poorly absorbed from plant foods. To increase their bioavailability, zinc is linked to the amino acid L-methionine and iron to a bisglycinate. Calcium and magnesium are present in an ideal ratio of 3:1.

MCT oil (from coconut oil) supports the absorption of plant proteins and serves as an energy supplier. The medium-chain fatty acids (medium-chain triglycerides) are absorbed directly into the blood without further metabolisation and converted into energy by our cells.

WOSCHA VegiPro tastes good and fills you up

This plant-based protein blend can be taken with many drinks and foods without dominating the flavour (e.g. with fruit juices, smoothies, shakes or even savoury dishes). Thanks to the coconut milk powder it contains, it always tastes creamy, even in water. We only use real vanilla flavouring and the natural sweetness of stevia for the neutral, slightly sweet taste.
Each portion contains only 120 kcal (503 kJ). VegiPro is therefore also suitable as a meal replacement to support a calorie-reduced diet. Please ensure that you drink enough fluids (approx. 2-3 litres daily)!

This product does not contain any additives. Unfortunately, our vegan protein powder is not suitable for people who are hypersensitive to pulses.

New packaging - in favour of our environment

The new stand-up pouch made of mono-material is 100% recyclable. The material-saving packaging reduces CO2 emissions during transport and production as well as plastic waste compared to classic cans.
WOSCHA VegiPro is currently the only protein powder on the market that has been specially developed for the particular deficiencies of vegans.

Use of WOSCHA VegiPro

WOSCHA VegiPro is a high-quality protein preparation made from plant proteins without soya, which has been specially developed for the needs of vegans. The ingredients can compensate for typical nutrient deficiencies (e.g. vitamin B12, creatine) in a vegan diet. WOSCHA VegiPro is also suitable for non-vegans who prefer to take plant proteins instead of whey protein.
The balanced mixture favours the absorption of micronutrients from food and is very well tolerated. The favourable amino acid profile of the proteins contained can contribute to maintaining and building muscle mass and places little strain on the urea metabolism.
With only 120 kcal (503 kJ) per ready-to-eat portion and the adapted content of vitamins, minerals and trace elements, WOSCHA VegiPro also offers a complete meal as part of a calorie-reduced diet.
