Question 1

Do you send you peas to china to be processed in any way? do the peas leave north america at any point?

Accepted Answer

No, it stays in the US.

Question 2

Why is it and protein isolate instead of concentrate since isolate is so bad for the health?

Accepted Answer

Protein isolate undergoes more processing, which results in a higher protein content with less carbs, lactose and fat.

As for Rootcology brand, per Dr Izabella Wentz's site she states:
Organic Pea Protein is an organic, natural pea protein isolate that offers a high level of functionality and nutritional benefits. It is a true vegan protein which has high bioavailability and excellent digestibility. The raw materials, certified organic North American grown yellow peas, are not genetically modified (non-GMO) and are produced with a natural fermentation process which uses no chemical solvents.

Organic Pea Protein contains no sucrose, fructose, or artificial flavors/sweeteners. It is flavored with certified organic natural flavor and certified organic stevia leaf extract.

Organic Pea Protein is an ideal protein for those who:
-want a non-GMO, organic protein source
-want a vegetarian or vegan protein with excellent digestibility
-have allergies or sensitivities to dairy or other animal proteins
I recommend reaching out to Dr. Izabella Wentz's team on her website.

Question 3

Wouldn't it be better to simply add frozen peas?

Accepted Answer

It's pea protein powder not straight powdered peas.  I am not adding peas to my smoothies nor do I eat a lot of peas -- too much starch for me.

Question 4

Product arrived with a sticker informing me that it has earned a warning from California Prop 65 - does anyone know which contaminant prompted it?

Accepted Answer

I don't know. Many products state this in CA. I'm assuming it has to do with the plastic container. Perhaps it has BPA or something in it, like most do. Its CA law to point it out. Starbucks coffee beans have the same disclaimer.
