Essential Protein

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I consume Essential Protein every day?

  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. 

• Where's the sodium coming from?

  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.

• Where does the fiber come from?

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

• Why are there gums in this formulation?

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

• What is rosemary extract for? Can you taste it? 

  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.
