What does a 'complete amino-acid profile' mean for this product, and why is it paired from two sources?

A 'complete amino-acid profile' means the protein powder supplies a range of essential amino acids – the building blocks the body uses for functions like muscle recovery and maintenance. Many single plant proteins lack certain essential amino acids in sufficient quantities.

This product pairs two sources to create a broader spectrum. Pea protein isolate is chosen for its high protein concentration and good leucine content (an amino acid particularly important for muscle protein synthesis). Fava bean protein is included to complement this and help broaden the overall amino-acid profile. Together, this combination aims to provide a profile closer to what active people often look for in post-workout nutrition, without needing to add isolated free amino acids to the formula.
