Sunflower protein is a complete protein because it provides all of the essential amino acids. Its most noteworthy feature is its high concentration of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) - Valine, Leucine and Isoleucine - which are well known for their ability to promote muscle growth and strength. Sunflower protein isn’t just for bodybuilders and athletes; seniors use BCAAs together with exercise to help counter the muscular decline of ageing. An additional benefit of BCAAs is the support of nitric oxide production, which nutritionally supports vascular function, brain function, and healthy reproductive organ function.
