Dr . Formulated MD Sustainable Plant-Based Proteins
Our plant-based protein is created using ancient barley protein that has been sprouted and combined with a longevity promoting legume — fava bean protein . Together with oat beta-glucans from Swedish oats and olive leaf extract , this product is expertly formulated to mimic the benefits one would experience on the Mediterranean diet . †
SUSTAINABLE SPROUTED ANCIENT GRAINS
Barley , an ancient grain that has been consumed for thousands of years , is one of the primary whole grains that support a heart healthy Mediterranean diet . The benefits of a Mediterranean diet are undeniable and both traditional and modern science are validating this style of eating for heart health and immune health . Many have called the Mediterranean diet a longevity diet ; one that promotes both immune resilience and immune rejuvenation . This is what led us to innovate with sprouted ancient grains to support the proven health benefits of the most physician-prescribed diet on earth : the Mediterranean diet .
Every year , 1.4 million tons of barley grains from breweries are discarded in landfills . These protein-packed mashes are left to rot in garbage heaps around the world where they contribute to waste , instead of reducing it . Garden of Life analyzed this problem and partnered with innovative companies who sought to remedy this wasteful process . The result is a 100 % renewable energy supply chain that upcycles sprouted grains to create the world ’ s most sustainable protein . Taking a raw material that was creating problems , and turning it into a solution ; true circularity .
FAVA PROTEIN
We are creating the future of protein with environmentally friendly pulses . Pulses are self-fertilizing and therefore need less nitrogen fertilizer , reducing greenhouse gas emissions and water pollution . Pulse ’ s self-fertilize by fixing nitrogen in nodules in the roots of the crop ; they leave behind nutrients in the soil . The unique combination of these sustainable protein sources provides high-quality protein ( 20g per serving ) with all the essential amino acids in each formula .
MORE THAN PROTEIN
Our MD Proteins are more than just proteins — they are formulated to deliver the key benefits the Mediterranean diet . So , we added some ingredients to these proteins to help provide these benefits including : Oat beta-glucans , olive leaf extract and clinically studied probiotics .
