What Makes Vega One Awesome?

Vega One was formulated by Brendan Brazier, professional Ironman triathlete and bestselling author on performance nutrition. Following the principles outlined in Thrive: the Vegan Nutrition Guide (The Thrive Diet in Canada), Vega One is plant-based, alkaline-forming and includes the following key macro and micro nutrients, and supplements:

15 g Protein

Vega One features our signature, broad-spectrum, plant-based protein blend, with all essential amino acids in ideal balance. Vega One’s Complete Protein Blend includes:

• Pea protein
• SaviSeed (sacha inchi) protein
• Hemp seed protein
• Sprouted whole grain brown rice protein

6 g Fiber

Boasting 24% of your recommended daily value of fiber per serving, Vega One is a delicious way to work both soluble and insoluble fiber into your day. Fiber intake has been shown to help:

• Help maintain normal blood sugar levels¹
• Normalize elimination and maintain bowel health¹
• Help promote a feeling of fullness and reduce feelings of hunger to help support healthy weight management when combined with exercise and a reduced calorie diet¹

Fiber in Vega One is primarily sourced from flax, inulin (fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS)), and pea.
