About this supplement
Pea protein isolate is a highly refined, concentrated protein powder derived from yellow peas (Pisum sativum). It is produced by removing the majority of the starch, fiber, and other non-protein components, resulting in a product that is typically 80-90% protein by dry weight. It is a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids, though it is relatively lower in methionine compared to animal proteins. It is highly digestible, hypoallergenic, vegan-friendly, and free from common allergens like gluten, dairy, and soy. It is commonly used in sports nutrition, meal replacements, and functional foods.

Physical properties
Fine, beige to light yellow powder. Typically odorless with a neutral to slightly earthy flavor. Soluble or dispersible in water, depending on processing (hydrolyzed forms are more soluble).
How it’s made
Produced via dry or wet fractionation. Yellow peas are cleaned, milled, and the starch and fiber are separated from the protein via air classification or aqueous extraction. The protein-rich fraction is further purified, concentrated, and spray-dried to create a fine powder.
