Product Benefits

Organic Pumpkin Seed Powder is a remarkable natural product that has a very high amino acid content and profile. Consisting of approximately 60% protein content by weight, it can be a healthy component of dietary supplements or food to support healthy body weight and overall nutrition.

The amino acid profile of the protein content within Organic Pumpkin Seed Powder contains a higher percentage of the amino acids specific to muscle building and recovery than whey protein, commonly considered the gold standard of protein powders in sports nutrition. The profile consists of the branched-chained amino acids Valine, Leucine, and Isoleucine,1 as well as the most significant amino acid in muscle tissue, glutamic acid.2

These facts make Organic Pumpkin Seed Powder not only a great option for the protein supplementation of vegans, but for anyone looking to supplement their diet and/or training regiment for recovery and muscle maintenance (for elderly people at risk for sarcopenia, or age-related muscle loss) or lean muscle gain (younger athletes).3

Organic Pumpkin Seed Powder is high in beneficial fiber, which helps support the gut microbiome, optimize nutrient absorption in the body, and overall support the digestive system.4

Organic Pumpkin Seed Powder contains amino acids that support muscle building, the neurocognitive system, and the gut microbiome when used in supplements, all of which are necessary pillars of optimal health and active lifestyle performance.

Organic Pumpkin Seed Powder is a plant-based, natural, vegan, non-GMO, and lactose-free protein source with amino acids that provide a broad spectrum of beneficial phytonutrients, fiber, vitamins, and minerals that are inadequately present in pea protein but are indispensable for muscle building and support of an active lifestyle.

Organic Pumpkin Seed Powder’s fiber content is ideal for use in dietary supplement formulas to assist in gut health, proper nutrient utilization, weight management, and a healthy microbiome.

Proteins are large macromolecules or biomolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acids, and play a crucial role in almost all biological processes, making Organic Pumpkin Seed Powder ideal for functional foods, supplements, and animal nutrition.
