Chocolate Silk Plant-Based Probiotic Protein Powder

Yes! Pea Protein is a high quality plant-based complete protein that contains all nine essential amino acids. It’s the most popular plant based protein for supplements because it’s uniquely rich in branched chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine, plus iron and arginine. The challenge with pea protein on its own is that it’s naturally lower in the amino acids methionine and cysteine. That’s why our blend includes hemp protein as well, which is naturally higher in these two amino acids. Together, our blend offers 22 grams of high quality protein and 5 grams combined branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). We also added additional Leucine (one of the essential branched chain amino acids that our body needs to build
muscle and reduce fatigue). Research suggests that the optimal dose of leucine for muscle protein synthesis is 2.5 g. Most plant based protein powders do not meet this standard, so we have added additional leucine to our plant based protein to help fill this gap for optimal post-workout recovery. You can read more about our ingredients here and can see our typical amino acid profile here.

Absolutely. At neue theory, we are all about transparency, safety and quality products. The general supplement industry is poorly regulated, leaving consumers susceptible to fraudulent products packed with fillers or massive quantity discrepancies, along with the potential for contamination with heavy metals and other impurities. Most supplement companies do not test their products for contaminants because third-party testing costs a lot of money. But at neue theory, we want you to feel confident that the supplements you have worked into your daily routine are safe and effective. Using a third-party testing facility, we thoroughly screen for endocrine disruptors, cyanic acid, melamine, phthalates, PAHs, pesticides, toxins, allergens (Gluten, Milk, Peanuts), residues, solvents, and unsafe levels of heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead). We strongly suggest that any supplement product you purchase and integrate into your day is third-party tested. For more information about our results, you can contact us at support@neuetheory.com!

Yes, we use a third-party testing agency to test for a wide range of contaminants including high levels of heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead), mycotoxins, allergens, pesticides and endocrine disruptors. neue theory products have all passed all of our rigorous tests. It’s important to know that pea protein will always contain some lead and cadmium because these elements are naturally found in the earth. But at neue theory, we are committed to helping you minimize exposure. This is why we opted for a well studied trademarked brand of pea protein grown in Canada and America to help significantly minimize these levels. While formulating neue theory, we were shocked to discover that most leading pea protein bases had heavy metal levels 33x higher than PURIS pea protein. You can feel confident knowing that neue theory products have passed all of our rigorous internal and third party tests.

Yes! We’re perfectionists when it comes to ingredient quality, we handpicked the best quality ingredients from top reputable suppliers and manufacturers. For example, we tried countless pea protein isolates until we found our supplier, PURIS™. Not only does it have the most neutral flavor and smooth mouthfeel but PURIS™ prides itself on traceability, right back to their farmers in the United States of America. Likewise our organic hemp protein was grown on Canadian soils. We have also chosen to work with the trademarked suppliers when we can (PURIS™, OPTI-ZIOME P3HYDROLYZER™ BIO-CAT Inc and OPTIBIOME® Bacillus Subtilis BS50 from BIO-CAT Inc) which allows for more robust research and clinical support. It took us over two years to develop these initial formulas, we refused to settle until we had found the best of the best!

All of neue theory products are manufactured in a leading industry facility that is registered with the FDA. Our manufacturing facility upholds the highest standards in nutraceutical and supplement development to ensure the most evidence-based safe products for consumers. Their certifications include: Good Manufacturing Practice Certification (GMP), Natural Organic Program (Organic Certified), NSF Sport (ANAB), and Food Safety Certification 22000 (CSQA).

Organic foods have not been shown to be significantly more nutritious than conventional, so at this time, choosing 100% Organic products hasn’t been our priority. That said, some ingredients in our Plant-Based Probiotic Protein Powders are Certified Organic: Hemp Protein, Cocoa Powder, and Vanilla Bean.

Yes, all of the ingredients in our Plant-Based Probiotic Protein Powders are non-GMO.

All of the ingredients in neue theory’s Plant-Based Probiotic Protein Powder are certified Kosher. The only ingredient that is not certified Halal is the Ashwagandha root.

Yes! The Plant-Based Probiotic Protein Powders are all plant based and therefore are compatible with a vegan lifestyle.

Our products are all gluten free as per our allergen testing. However, our products are manufactured in a facility that contains gluten, so it is not Certified Gluten Free.

Yes. All of neue theory products are manufactured in a strictly peanut-free facility and are tested for major allergens like peanuts.

neue theory products do not contain any of the top 8 allergens, and have been tested to confirm that they are dairy, gluten and peanut free.

Yes! neue theory products have zero added sugars, are high in protein, and are sweetened naturally with monk fruit which does not affect blood sugar levels.

It’s important to speak to a healthcare professional before trying any new supplements, and that is particularly important while pregnant or breastfeeding. Generally speaking, protein powders are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to lack of sufficient evidence to confirm safety unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider. What’s most important is choosing a high quality, third-party tested protein powder like neue theory to safeguard against heavy metal contamination.

Kids need a lot of energy, especially during growth spurts, but their protein needs are actually not as high as we might think (less than 20 grams for kids under 8). Even with picky eaters, these targets are generally not hard to hit when consuming adequate calories. We do not recommend neue theory products for kids as the clinical doses have been tested and evaluated for healthy adults.

While our probiotic strains are sensitive, and we prefer a cold preparation, we are pleased to report that the spore-forming bacillus strains of probiotics are incredibly hearty and can maintain stability when cooked, heated or frozen. We love to add ours to oatmeal, pancake mix and “nice cream”.

The shelf life of our Plant-Based Probiotic Protein Powder is 24 months. It should ideally be stored away from direct sunlight at 15-30 C (59-86 F).

We try to think green as often as we can. What is recyclable includes the protein scoop and the shipping packaging box. The protein powder bag is not recyclable as we have been unable to source a bag that maintains the integrity and protection of our spore-based probiotic. We are working on it, though!

Yes! neue theory’s Plant-Based Probiotic Protein Powder is stored in a BPA-free bag which has also been tested for traces of other endocrine disruptors like phthalates.
