Plant Protein (Plus 11 Super Fruits) by ModernX is a muscle building, health boosting protein mix.

Although whey proteins are more popular for body building, exercise and sports nutrition, plant based proteins offer additional nutritional value, while also assisting with muscle building and toning.

Recommendation (for non-vegetarians/vegans): Add 1 scoop of Advanced Whey Isolate or Classic Whey Protein, with 1 scoop of Plant Protein for a double protein shake that gives you a total of 49 grams of protein.

Having a double protein shake allows you to get a lot of protein (49 grams) for a small amount of calories (250 calories), which then gives you more freedom to eat higher calorie foods for the rest of the day, while still being able to lose fat and maintain lean muscle.

Plant Protein Plus 11 Super Fruits by ModernX includes the following ingredients, which have been scientifically proven to work:

Pea Protein

• “Ingestion of whey and pea protein produce similar outcomes in measurements of body composition, muscle thickness, force production, WOD performance and strength.” ^[1] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “Supplementation with pea protein promoted a greater increase of muscle thickness as compared to placebo.” ^[2] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Brown Rice Protein

• “Both whey and rice protein isolate administration post resistance exercise improved indices of body composition and exercise performance.” ^[3] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• In some cases, rice protein can outperform whey protein in terms of muscle growth and thickness. (Refer to graphs in the linked study for evidence of that). ^[4] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Quinoa Protein

• “Quinoa…a high-quality protein source on the basis of its relative high lysine (6.5%) and methionine (2.6%) contents when compared with most other plant-based protein sources.” (Lysine boosts muscle strength and methionine is required for growth and tissue repair). ^[5] Oxford Academic
• “Quinoa supplementation exerts significant, positive effects on metabolic, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal health in humans.” ^[6] U.S. National Library of Medicine

MCT Oil Powder

• “Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) enhances exercise endurance through the increased mitochondrial biogenesis and metabolism.” ^[7] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• MCTs help reduce body fat. ^[8] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• Helps boost brain power by boosting brain energy metabolism. ^[9] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Stevia Leaf Extract

• “Intake of stevia sweetener does not affect the blood glucose level.” (Meaning: Your blood sugar remains normal, so you get the sweetened taste, but your body doesn’t have to spike insulin to reduce your blood sugar level and then turn the excess sugar into fat. It’s a clean, calorie free way to get a sweet taste, without adding fat to your body). ^[10] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “[Stevia leaf extract] is 200-times sweeter than the regular sugar (sucrose) and calorie-free.” (So, only a small amount is required to make something taste sweet and it doesn’t add to your daily calorie intake). ^[11] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Acai Juice Powder

• Boosts immune response against infectious diseases. ^[12] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• Has an anti-oxidant effect. (An anti-oxidant is a substance that protects cells from the damage caused by free radicals (unstable molecules made by the process of oxidation during normal metabolism). A build up of free radicals have been shown to play a part in cancer, heart disease, stroke, and other diseases of aging). ^[13] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• Boost liver health. ^[14] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• Has anti-cancer effect due to its antiinflammatory, antiproliferative and proapoptotic properties.< ^[15] U.S. National Library of Medicine/li>
• “Laboratory studies on açaí have shown both its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, and more importantly, its neuroprotective properties.” ^[16] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• Has an anti-depressant and anti-aging effect. ^[17] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• Helps control blood sugar levels, lower bad cholesterol and maintain healthy insulin levels. ^[18] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• Boosts production of red blood cells, leading to more oxygen available to use. This improves athletic performance and stamina and reduces feelings of fatigue. ^[19] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Acerola Juice Powder

• Acerola contains 50-100 times more vitamin C compared to an orange or lemon. ^[20] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “Protects against genotoxicity (i.e. damage to genes by the environment or diet, which can lead to cancer) by reducing oxidative stress in the body.” ^[21] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Cranberry Juice Powder

• “Cranberry bioactives have favorable effects on blood pressure, glucose metabolism, lipoprotein profiles, oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial function.” ^[22] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “Cranberries positively affect atherosclerotic cholesterol profiles (i.e. help prevent the build up of fatty deposits up in your arteries) and that they reduced several cardiometabolic risk factors.” ^[23] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “Cranberries have been shown to inhibit the colonization of H. pylori in stomach, and protect against intestinal inflammation.” ^[24] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Goji Juice Powder

• “Health benefits of goji berries include enhancing hemopoiesis (production of blood cells and platelets in bone marrow), antiradiation (radiation from phones, computers, etc), antiaging, anticancer, improvement of immunity, and antioxidation.” ^[25] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• Helps improve eyesight and protect against the loss of eyesight over time. ^[26] American Academy of Optometry

Pomegranate Juice Powder

• “It is demonstrated that certain components of pomegranate such as polyphenols have potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticarcinogenic (anticancer) effects.” ^[27] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Strawberry Juice Powder

• “Strawberry supplementation improved selected atherosclerotic risk factors including, dyslipidemia (high level of bad cholesterol) and circulating adhesion molecules.” ^[28] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• Boosts Vitamin C in the body and the antioxidants protect the body against free radicals, which can cause heart disease, cancer and other diseases. ^[29] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Schisandra 5:1 Extract

• “Schisandra is used for preventing early aging and increasing lifespan, normalizing blood sugar and blood pressure, stimulating the immune system…” ^[30] Web MD
