VIVO is a highly absorbable, alkaline plant-powered protein with a complete amino acid profile rich in Branch-Chain Amino Acids (BCCAs). BCCA's are important in protein synthesis, helping supercharge muscles and fuel muscle growth, while also supporting the body's pH balance, immune health and promote tissue repair, enabling your metabolic machinery to function more efficiently. Our protein blends include:
- Phenylalanine and Tyrosine – neurotransmitter precursor, stimulating the nervous system.
- Threonine – supports the liver, lipotropic and immune functions.
- Methionine and Cysteine – breaks down and uses fats, anti-oxidising properties.
- Histidine – promotes growth and tissue repair.
- Tryptophan – neurotransmitter precursor, stimulating the nervous system.
- Lysine – promotes growth and development.
- Leucine – promotes growth and repair of muscles, skin and bone.
- Valine – functions in muscle metabolism, repairs and grows tissue.
- Isoleucine – aids muscle recovery and regulates blood sugar levels. Carefully blended by an Australian manufacturer; the amino acid profile presence in all of our proteins is maximised through bio-fermentation. Bio-fermentation is a natural process that helps to create a food-based probiotic, guaranteeing our protein is full of beneficial nutrients and enzymes. Bio-fermentation helps to:
- Support gut health by supplying and nourishing good bacteria.
- Breaks down foods and provides enzymes to aid digestion.
- Ensures our protein is bioavailable – boosting the nutrient content and making absorption easier. We are all about being sustainable too. Not only is our plant-based nutrition a sustainable choice; it is good for our planet and it is also good for us; we support ethical and sustainable farms across the globe sourcing quality ingredients where they are naturally grown in abundance. Plus, our environmentally friendly packaging is recyclable, biodegradable and eco-friendly. At VIVO we are proud of who we are, what we stand for and where we are going.
