Czech Virus MPS-5 Pro Vegan 1000 g

Want to improve your performance and health without animal products? Try MPS-5 PRO Vegan, an exceptional plant-based protein powder that gives you all the essential amino acids from five plant protein sources. MPS-5 PRO Vegan is a new plant protein powder from Czech Virus that contains a blend of five types of plant proteins: pea, rice, coconut, pumpkin and almond, and is enriched with the digestive enzymes bromelain and papain. It contains no artificial colours or flavours and is sweetened with a combination of sucralose and steviol glycosides. The product is aimed at vegans and those who prefer plant-based protein sources and is designed as an alternative to traditional animal proteins, such as the best-seller among multi-ingredient products - MPS-5 PRO.

MPS-5 PRO Vegan is based on our best-seller MPS-5 PRO, which contains animal protein, so we decided to create a new alternative for people who prefer a plant-based diet.

Pea isolate (75%)

Pea Protein Isolate is a product that is derived from peas and contains a high amount of protein and little fat. It is a popular source of protein for vegans, vegetarians and people who are lactose intolerant. Pea protein isolate contains all the essential amino acids that the body cannot make on its own and must take in through diet. Thanks to this, pea protein isolate is considered a quality source of protein. The taste of pea isolate is almost neutral. Pea isolate also contains fibre, which helps to keep the digestive tract healthy and regulate blood sugar levels.

Rice isolate (10%)

Rice protein isolate is a raw material that is extracted from rice and contains a high amount of protein and little fat. Rice protein isolate is often used as a meat and lactose substitute for vegans, vegetarians and people who are lactose intolerant. Rice protein isolate is a source of protein that is very easy to digest. As a result, rice protein isolate is used as a post-workout supplement to quickly supply muscles with the necessary amino acids for recovery and growth. The bioavailability value of the proteins in rice protein isolate is lower than that of animal proteins such as those found in beef or eggs. To ensure a complete and balanced protein intake, rice protein isolate should be combined with other protein sources such as legumes (hence our product combines different types).

Coconut protein (5%)

Coconut protein is a type of vegetable protein that is obtained from the dried coconut pulp. Coconut protein is suitable for vegans and vegetarians looking for an alternative protein source to animal protein. Coconut protein is very rich in essential amino acids, especially BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine and valine), which are important for muscle growth and recovery. Coconut protein is also easily digestible and contains a small amount of fat. Coconut protein has a sweet and mild taste. Coconut protein also contains fibre.

Pumpkin protein (5%)

Pumpkin protein is a vegetable protein powder obtained from pumpkin seeds. It contains a high amount of protein and is suitable for vegetarians, vegans and lactose intolerant people. Pumpkin protein is rich in essential amino acids such as leucine, isoleucine and valine, which are important for muscle growth and regeneration. It also contains many other important nutrients such as B vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus and zinc. Pumpkin protein is easily digestible and has a pleasant taste.

Almond protein (5%)

Almond protein is a vegetable protein powder derived from almonds. Almond protein contains a high amount of protein and is rich in essential amino acids, especially arginine and glutamine, which are important for muscle growth and regeneration. It also contains many important nutrients such as B vitamins and minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Almond protein has a pleasant taste and smell of almonds.

Added enzymes and great taste

Czech Virus brand proteins are characterized by originality and innovation (for example, the first use of probiotics in CZ brand proteins with Pure Elite CFM). For this reason, we have added enzymes to the protein blend based on the findings of studies to further help with maximum protein utilization. Papain and Bromelain (more information on each enzyme below). On top of this, the taste is very pleasant with the expected texture that is natural with plant sources.

WHAT IS THE USABILITY OF PLANT-BASED PROTEINS COMPARED TO "CLASSIC" ONES?

Before we get to the values of the individual proteins, it is necessary to explain how the measurement is determined. This is especially important for plant proteins, which have not been around as long as classic whey or milk proteins. For individual proteins, we will look at the biological value (BH) and the DIAAS (digestible indispensable amino acid score). Biological value (BH) is a measure of how efficiently the body can use protein from a particular food source. BH is calculated by comparing the amount of nitrogen retained in the body with the amount of nitrogen absorbed from food. A higher BH means the body is using more protein. However, BH does not take into account the digestibility of the protein or the composition of the amino acids. DIAAS, on the other hand, is a newer method of assessing protein quality that takes into account both the digestibility and amino acid composition of the protein. DIAAS is based on the concept that the body's requirements for each essential amino acid are not met by a protein source unless that source contains all the essential amino acids in sufficient amounts. DIAAS is considered a more accurate and comprehensive measure of protein quality than BH. Thus, in general, DIAAS is considered a more accurate and comprehensive measure of protein quality than BV. However, both measures can provide useful information on protein quality and the choice of which one to use may depend on the specific context and objectives of the assessment.

The MPS-5 Vegan is based primarily on pea and rice isolate - this is because of their quality and value. The other 3 types of protein are added mainly for variety, impact on taste, but also to make the product more complex. The product copies its animal ultra successful copy - MPS-5 PRO - the king of multi-ingredient proteins on our market.

Now to the individual types - whey is only here for comparison, the product contains 100% plant sources:

Sources in our product are marked in bold.

It is important to note that the Biological Value and DIAAS value may be slightly different in different studies and research. Therefore, these values are approximate and may vary depending on the source and quality of the protein.

The biological value and DIAAS may be higher for multi-component proteins than for single protein sources. This is because different proteins have different amino acid profiles and digestibility rates and combining them can provide a more complete range of amino acids and improve the overall digestibility of the protein. Combining plant proteins such as pea and rice protein can provide a more complete range of essential amino acids and improve protein digestibility, resulting in higher DIAAS and potentially higher biological value. This is why we combine five types of protein.

A recent example may be a study published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology in 2020 that looked at combining pea, rice and bean protein. The result was a DIAAS value of 1.00, while the individual proteins had DIAAS values ranging from 0.55 to 0.90.

DIGESTIVE ENZYMES

Papain is a proteolytic enzyme found mainly in the juice of the unripe fruit and latex of the papaya tree (Carica papaya). Papain hydrolytically cleaves peptides, amides and esters. Bromelain is an enzyme found in fresh pineapple. It breaks down proteins and curdles milk.

Thebromelain found in natural products is produced from the pineapple stalk and is different from the enzyme found in the fruit... DIVISION OF PROTEIN SOURCES IN MPS-5 FOR VEGAN
