Yoga Body Protein Powder

The Ayurvedic Perspective

As per the wisdom of Ayurveda, the stomach is the most sensitive organ and as a result, we created a formula that is 100% pure, organic, simple containing only three primary nutritional ingredients (peas, hemp & chia seeds) so that your yoga body can easily absorb all the protein it needs. This approach of simple nutrition is especially important for Vata (air) and Pitta (fire) types to support their muscle tissue and can also be used by Kapha (water) types that are interested in getting leaner. Ashwagandha is one of the most famous superfoods of the Ayurvedic medical traditions. Ashwagandha is a tonic, strengthening all the tissues, increases energy, vitality (ojas) and is a natural aphrodisiac that increases fertility, balances the nervous and improves sleep. Maca is also a popular ancient superfood that aids in recovery from physical exertion and is also a natural energy booster. Unlike caffein found in coffee which taxes the adrenal gland and has a vicious mental downer 6-8 hours later, the superfood maca keeps the mind steady and alert through out the day without the jitters of green tea, matcha or coffee. Caffein creates a false sense of energy that overtime drains the body of its vital energy-ojas. Yoga Body Protein increases your true vitality and tastes great!

MCT Oil

MCT powder is derived from coconut oil, “MCTs” are medium-chain triglycerides, a form of saturated fatty acid that is excellent for the nervous system and brain. The magical Monk fruit, well known in Asia is a sweetener made from the extract derived from dried fruit. The extract is remarkably 150-250 times sweeter than table sugar, has zero calories and carbs, and does not raise blood glucose levels. Monk fruit is excellent for those with diabetic concerns and individuals who avoid moderate sugar. MCT oil was added to this product for its many benefits and to reduce clumping. MCT oil stands for medium-chain triglycerides oil. Research has shown MCT oil boosts brain function and overall mental clarity. The main source of MCTs is from coconuts and secondly from Palm kernel oil. In general MCT oil promotes weight-fat loss, reduces the build-up of lactic acid which is important for Hatha yogi’s that want to increase their posture hold time. MCT promotes healthy and balanced digestion and increases energy levels as a result of better absorption of food nutrients. It is helpful for lowering cholesterol and circulation.
