No meat, no eggs and no dairy
0:06
That means no way. However, if you're on a plant-based diet or choose a vegan lifestyle, My Vegan has you covered
0:13
In fact, we have a whole variety of protein sources available, including pea, soy, rice or even hemp
0:20
We're back in the lab today to find out how My Vegan is made
0:23
The United Kingdom is a driving force for this new protein boom. It accounted for 11% of global food and drink launches
0:29
containing pea protein in a single year. That's a lot of new vegan products
0:34
The reason for this boom, the rise of more and more people adopting a vegan or plant-based lifestyle
0:39
So along with this demand, there are plenty of choices out there when it comes to protein
0:46
A vegan protein isn't just for those that follow a vegan diet. It's also a great choice for people with food allergies
0:52
or food intolerances. What's ultimately most important when choosing a vegan protein
0:57
is something that is highly bioavailable. This is where P-Protene comes into play
1:01
A new kid on the block and it's really shaking things up. Containing 18 to 20 grams of protein per 25 grams serving
1:08
it highly bioavailable and also extremely satiating Let find out how it made If you done any kind of supplement shopping you likely seen products containing way protein Way is derived from dairy
1:20
which is why it's one of the most readily available types of protein supplements
1:24
on the market today. Pea protein powder is made from yellow split peas
1:30
and does not contain any dairy, is naturally gluten-free, and is hypoallergenic
1:36
While pea protein is not as slow digesting as Casey, a common type of dairy protein
1:42
it is absorbed slower and that's what makes pea protein an optimal choice for post-workout recovery
1:49
The creation of pea protein isolate happens through a basic food production process
1:55
that involves removing the peas outer shell and milling it into a flour
2:00
From there, the peas' other ingredients like fibre and starch are separated
2:04
through a filtration process. The pea protein is then distilled into a white precipitate known as protein powder. This process is then repeated with
2:14
father beans which include a range of B vitamins, zinc, magnesium, iron, phosphorus
2:22
copper and manganese The last two of those minerals are particularly useful to maintain healthy bones Once we have these two plant powders they ready to travel to the My Protein Factory
2:37
And there we have it. That's our P protein is made. One of the highest quality vegan options available on the market today
2:44
full of naturally occurring vitamins and minerals. But before we can go off to mixing and packaging
2:48
it's important that all of our raw materials are taken to QA for thorough testing
2:53
My protein are proud to have the highest quality standards, so to make sure that everything
2:58
makes the grade throughout the entire production process, our quality assurance team are split
3:03
into three groups. The first group is the raw material labs, and as the name suggests, they're responsible for
3:09
testing all new raw materials that arrive at this facility. The raw materials team have three primary objectives when testing new raw materials
3:18
Firstly, it's to ensure that they match our specifications. Secondly, is to ensure that they match our micro declarations
3:24
and then thirdly is to ensure that that new raw material matches our gold standard
3:29
Quality is our number one priority here, and if something doesn't match those three criteria
3:34
it doesn't get used. The second group are the supplier quality assurance team
3:38
and they responsible for ensuring that any products aren produced in meet our same high standards It what inside that counts but my pro team will apply the same quality assurance to all the packaging that we use
3:52
This applies to wrappers, tubs, lids and even scoops. The third and final team are the quality assurance team, and they're found right here in the production warehouse
4:02
Their jobs begin as soon as that raw material enters those IBC containers and they'll follow the process right the way through to completion
4:09
Line operators play a vital role in ensuring that we follow good manufacturing practices
4:16
They're responsible for monitoring allergens and also x-raying all products to ensure that there's no cross-contamination
4:22
Products that fall within the MyPro category must be sent to third-party labs for InformaSports testing
4:29
The final process in the quality assurance program is the best part, the taste test
4:35
Here, every batch that we produce goes through a final taste test to ensure that it matches
4:39
the gold standard. If approved, it then gets released into the warehouse ready for sale
4:45
And there you have it, job complete, ready to go out into the world to service millions of
4:50
customers around the globe. Thank you for watching and see you next time
