UPC: 838766008578
Vega Performance Protein + Recovery is a plant-based protein powder formulated to assist muscle recovery after exercise, such as weight training or high-intensity interval training. Each serving provides 30 grams of protein from a blend of pea protein isolate, pumpkin seed protein concentrate, and organic sunflower seed protein concentrate, along with 12 grams of essential amino acids and 5 grams of glutamic acid to support muscle rebuilding. It also includes 480 mg of Montmorency tart cherry and 2 billion CFU of the shelf-stable probiotic Bacillus subtilis DE111®, which is heat-stable and designed to survive digestion.
This product is NSF Certified for Sport, meaning it has been independently tested for over 270 athletic banned substances and heavy metals, with ongoing facility audits. The manufacturer notes that the pea protein is an isolate while the pumpkin seed and sunflower seed proteins are concentrates, and the formula uses stevia leaf extract for sweetness without added sugars. It is available in Mocha flavor, with other options including Vanilla, Chocolate, Berry, and Peanut Butter.
