Our Perform Plant Protein provides a solid 25g protein per serving, which leaps over a typical serving of whey's 22g protein. Our amino acid profile? Unmatched, as demonstrated in the charts we've attached.
Vivo Life doesn't merely join the protein narrative; we're at the forefront, leading with each amino, each nutrient. Formulated by nutritionists, and third party tested for quality and purity.

The 'Our World In Data' report shown above shows that milk (dairy) protein produces 11 times more carbon dioxide than peas & pulses protein.
Yes, you heard right. Choosing plant protein over whey isn't just a dietary preference; it is a more sustainable move for the planet. Imagine cutting down your carbon footprint by a staggering 11 times with every shake you down, and the cows will thank you.

We AVOID these common ingredients in our Protein Powders:
'Sucralose': A lot of people don’t know this is an artificial sweetener! Sweet, but it may mess with your gut and insulin levels². Not worth it!
'Xanthan Gum': Thickens things up, but too much can cause bloating and gas³. No thanks!
'Flavoring': If it just says 'flavoring' without 'natural' in front, it’s artificial and may cause sensitivities⁴.
'Whey Protein': Whey protein contains lactose, which can cause digestive issues like bloating and discomfort for many people. In fact, around 65% of adults globally are lactose intolerant¹. Additionally, whey protein has been linked to acne due to its effect on insulin and sebum production⁵. Definitely not the vibe we're going for!
Third-Party Lab Testing:
Unlike many brands that skip third-party testing because it's not required by law, we go the extra mile to ensure our products are pure and safe. We rigorously test both our ingredients and final formulas for heavy metals, pesticides, and contaminants, giving you confidence that what you're putting in your body is clean and trustworthy⁶.
Plus, with a full nutritional analysis performed on every product, we know we can stand by the benefits and claims we make on our labels.

In our Perform Plant Protein, we've jazzed things up with a dynamic duo: 150mg of turmeric extract and black pepper.
Why, you ask? Well, turmeric and black pepper hit it off like old friends at a spice reunion. Turmeric brings to the party its golden glow and a penchant for keeping things chill (inflammation-wise, that is), but it’s a bit shy on its own. Enter black pepper, the life of the party, with its key compound piperine that boosts turmeric’s bioavailability by a whopping 2000% based on this research (Shoba et al., 1998).
Together a pair that can help reduce inflammation one delicious sip at a time.

Alright, let’s cut straight to the good stuff with our plant-based protein. Lactose? Not here. We skipped it because, frankly, who needs the extra drama? Savaiano et al. (2014) remind us it’s better off without it for those tummy troubles.
Now, onto the heroes of the show:
Papain: This enzyme from papaya doesn’t mess around. It breaks down proteins so your body can snap them up quick, just like Ratnasooriya et al. (2000) says it should.
Ginger: Not just for cookies, ginger’s here to keep your stomach cool and collected, backed by Hu et al. (2011). It’s the calm in the digestive storm.
Peppermint: McKay & Blumberg (2006) swear by it for making your insides feel breezy and smooth. It's like a breath of fresh air for your gut.
And don’t forget the black pepper extract. Thanks to Shoba et al. (1998), this little gem amps up the absorption of all the good stuff, making sure nothing goes to waste.
So there you have it: our Perform Plant Protein packs a punch, with every ingredient chosen for its knockout benefits. It's all the good stuff, no fluff, making sure your body’s as happy as your taste buds.

It’s not always as simple as “it’s what’s inside that counts”. When it comes to supplements, anyone can add trace amounts of ‘active’ ingredients just to look good on a nutrition label – but a few milligrams of broccoli ain’t helping anyone.
Our nutritionist-formulated products are designed to provide the highest quality ingredients in evidence-based, functional dosages; and in the forms your body can recognise. You won't see an ingredient list with a million different superfoods on it; less, quite often, is more.
