PIP IS THANKFUL…

Before we get into the crux of this article, I want to first give props to Protein Isolate Plant (PIP) for their creative breakdown of what their company represents. It is nice to see an organization tap into the different facets of humanity (social, psychological, spiritual, physical, and environmental) to assiduously explain what they are about. Now let’s get into why I am introducing PIP to the community, and how knowing the information they provided will be beneficial.

Iron deficiency is a common health issue that can affect people of all races and ethnicities. Women, in general, are more susceptible to iron deficiency due to blood loss during menstruation. If a woman has heavy or prolonged menstrual periods, she is at a higher risk of developing iron deficiency.

In some cases, African Caribbean women might be at a higher risk of iron deficiency due to factors like heavy menstrual periods, pregnancy, and breastfeeding, which can lead to increased iron needs. Additionally, certain dietary choices or restrictions can also contribute to iron deficiency.

In some Caribbean countries, traditional diets lack a variety of iron-rich foods. If the diet is primarily plant-based and lacks sources of heme iron (found in animal products), women might not be getting enough iron. Encouraging a balanced diet that includes iron-rich foods like red meat, poultry, fish, lentils, beans, and fortified cereals as well as raising awareness about the importance of iron-rich foods, especially among pregnant and breastfeeding women, can help prevent iron deficiency. In some cases, healthcare providers might recommend iron supplements, especially during pregnancy, or for women with diagnosed iron deficiency anemia.

One proficient way to remedy this issue is to increase iron consumption. Christine Lewington, the CEO of PIP International, has innovatively created a sustainable and flavorless legume-based protein powder that preserves protein in its most natural state.

PIP’s mission is to accelerate the Global Adoption of the most sustainable, best tasting and affordable protein. Combining proven disruptive technologies, PIP aims to be significant by helping heal our world through individual wellness that will be accessible to all!  PIP is working to be leaders in the protein revolution by creating the most sustainable and affordable protein with the use of industry disrupting technologies.

PIP has answered the call of the global protein crisis by unlocking the potential of plant-based proteins with their innovative ultimate pea protein. PIP’s ultimate purpose is to heal the world through individual wellness.

Pea Protein contains 42% of a person’s daily value in one scoop, as opposed to a Whey protein that contains 0%. PIP’s technology created this supplement to be odorless, tasteless, and gentle. Whey Protein can cause bloating and allergies to those who are sensitive to lactose, and pea protein doesn’t cause the same issue due to it being derived from a legume.

Studies continue to show that pea protein is a high-quality protein source, providing essential amino acids that are crucial for muscle building, repair, and overall body function. Pea protein is easily digestible, making it a suitable option for people with sensitive stomachs, or digestive issues. Unlike some other protein sources like soy or dairy, pea protein is hypoallergenic, meaning it is unlikely to cause an allergic reaction in most people.

Pea protein is naturally gluten-free, making it an excellent choice for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. Pea protein is free from common allergens like soy, dairy, and nuts, making it a safe choice for people with allergies to these foods. Pea protein contains vitamins and minerals, including iron, magnesium, and B-vitamins, providing additional nutritional benefits beyond just protein content.

This agri-tech company based in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, has grown immensely since it was established in 2020. PIP International has gone from zero revenue to $7 million in purchase orders in less than 12 months. Christine’s empire is just beginning, she plans to expand an alternative source of protein on a local and global scale.

Hmmmm! Pea protein: is this something that you would be open to trying?
