🔬 Plant Protein Science
Vega Sport uses a multi-plant protein blend to achieve a complete amino acid profile. Unlike animal proteins, plant proteins often lack all essential amino acids — that is why Vega mixes several sources (pea, pumpkin, sunflower) to create a complete protein.
Vega Sport protein blend creates a complete amino acid profile without any animal products!
