    Frequently Asked Questions

    • You sure can! Please note that we encourage you to consume as many whole fresh fruits and vegetables as works with your lifestyle. We do not intend for Vega products to be a substitute for whole foods. They are a convenient complement to your active, busy life. 

    • Most of the sodium in Vega Essential Protein naturally comes from the plant-based ingredients, particularly pea protein. We also add a touch of sea salt to enhance the flavor.

    • Depending on the flavor, you’ll get 3-4g of dietary fiber per serving, coming from acacia gum.  

    • We use xanthan gum and acacia gum to achieve the desired texture and mouthfeel. Acacia gum also provides a source of dietary fiber. 

    • At Vega, we don’t use any synthetic preservatives.  That’s why we added rosemary extract to help preserve the taste and freshness of the product. It’s a natural preservative, extracted from dry rosemary leaves (Rosmarinus officinalis). The rosemary extract does not add to the flavor profile of the formula.
