Chickpea protein is a plant protein extracted from chickpeas. It has high nutritional value and low fat properties. It is suitable for vegetarians, fitness people and lactose intolerant people. It is rich in essential amino acids, dietary fiber and minerals, which helps muscle repair, cardiovascular health, blood sugar stability, etc. It is a high-quality source of plant protein.

Specific effects and functions

1. Promote muscle repair and growth

Chickpea protein contains 9 essential amino acids required by the human body, especially lysine and arginine. The former supports collagen synthesis and the latter promotes blood circulation. This combination of amino acids can help repair muscles after exercise, relieve soreness, and assist in muscle growth needs.

2. Maintain cardiovascular health

Its low cholesterol and low saturated fat characteristics can reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis. The soluble dietary fiber in chickpea protein can combine with cholesterol in the intestines and excrete it, reducing the level of "bad cholesterol" (LDL) in the blood. At the same time, the potassium contained in chickpea protein helps regulate blood pressure.

3. Stabilize blood sugar levels

The glycemic index (GI) of chickpea protein is low, and dietary fiber can delay sugar absorption and avoid drastic fluctuations in blood sugar. Studies have shown that its ingredients may enhance insulin sensitivity and are suitable for diabetic patients or people who control sugar as a protein supplement.

4. Improve digestive function

Rich dietary fiber (about 17 grams per 100 grams) can increase intestinal motility, promote the growth of probiotics, and relieve constipation. However, it should be noted that excessive intake may cause flatulence, and it is recommended to gradually increase the intake.

5. Assist weight management

The combination of high protein and high fiber can enhance satiety and reduce calorie intake. Compared with animal protein, it has lower unit calories and is suitable for people who need to control calories as a meal replacement or supplement.

6. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects

Chickpea protein contains polyphenols (such as isoflavones), which can neutralize free radicals and reduce chronic inflammation caused by oxidative stress. Long-term intake may reduce the risk of certain cancers and degenerative diseases.
