Benefits

Reduce mental Fatigue

Struggling with that mental fog from sheer exhaustion or overwhelming stress? The plants and superfoods in this formula are especially suited to supporting mental alertness and improving our overall cognitive abilities [1].

Enhances physical performance

Looking for that boost of energy to get going in your day or to give you that extra kick for your workout? Panax ginseng and Cordyceps mushroom in this formula have long been used to support energy and improve physical performance [2] [3].

Increases cellular energy

Energy begins on the cellular level, and B vitamins are essential for the production of fuel and energy in every cell of our body [4]. Our quinoa sprouts, grown in vitamin B rich substrate, provide us with a complete food-based B complex.

Optimizes energy levels

The combination of quinoa, brown rice and coconut provide a complete and balanced plant-based protein for our daily energy requirements. The addition of therapeutic herbs and superfoods offer a deeply nourishing and energizing support to our brain, nervous system and muscles for that extra boost of energy we often need.

Help Build and Repair Muscles

Protein provides us with the building blocks to synthesize and repair body tissues, including muscles. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are found in good concentrations in this formula, are of particular importance for this. This plant-based protein powder is helpful if you are wanting to maintain and even build healthy muscle mass. Protein is especially important after exercise [5], to repair damaged muscle and help it grow back stronger. Research tells us that eating protein before and after exercise helps increase muscle recovery, promote muscle building and can even reduce muscle ache.

Protein Blend

Quinoa

Quinoa is an outstanding nutritional powerhouse. It has the highest protein content of all grains (although technically not a grain) and unlike most plant-based sources of protein, it provides a complete protein, which means it contains all the essential amino acids. Paired with Brown rice, we have a complete, well balanced protein for our everyday needs.

Brown Rice
Brown Rice

Botanica’s organic brown rice is treated with organic enzymes to support ease of digestion and to help break down some of the starch and fiber thereby naturally increasing the final protein content.

Coconut

Coconut was chosen for this formula in part to support a balanced protein profile, and largely for its yummy goodness that gives the powder a smooth and creamy texture.

Herbal Blend

Panax ginseng

Enhance mental and physical performance

500 mg

Panax ginseng, often referred to as the King of all herbs, is a wonderful adaptogen – a herb that helps us to better cope with the demands of stress. It is a stimulating and invigorating plant that is well recognized to improve mental alertness and physical performance [1].

Cordyceps

Rich source of antioxidants

500 mg

Cordyceps is an excellent mushroom for full body wellness. As an immunomodulator, it supports a healthy immune function, helping keep all the checks and balances in working order. It is also traditionally our star mushroom for energy and athletic performance [2]. It has shown great potential to increase immediate energy, support a healthy libido, and improve oxygen intake in the lungs [3]. Overall, it can be a wonderful mushroom to improve stamina.

B Complex

Helps with energy production

Sourced from 400 mg quinoa sprouts

Our quinoa sprouts are grown in vitamin B rich substrate to provide a complete food-based B complex. Our B vitamins are crucial for healthy metabolism of our carbohydrates, fats and proteins, helping us convert the food we eat into glucose for energy [4]. They are also essential for the production of fuel and energy in our cells [5].

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this formula replace some of my herbal supplements?

Yes, it contains therapeutic dosages and has been formulated with Naturopathic doctors & Herbalists. It is still always wise to follow up with your practitioner if needed.

Can this formula be taken if I’m on medication?

For the most part, yes, although it should be taken 2 hours away from your medications. Be cautious with Panax ginseng if on anti-depressants or digoxin. Please check with your practitioner if you have any concerns.

Can I take this formula for an extended period of time?

Yes, these are superfood nutrients and herbs that have been used traditionally for centuries and have a tonifying effect on the body. Having said that, it is always a good idea to take breaks on and off with any herbal protocols; they tend to be most effective that way.

Do I need to refrigerate my Perfect Proteins?

No need to refrigerate the Perfect Proteins. We actually wouldn't recommend it as it won't help extend its shelf life, and it will most likely add moisture to the powder, which can create clumps. You can store your proteins in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources.

What is organic monk fruit extract and why is it added?

Monk fruit is a sweet-tasting plant, also known as Luo Han Guo. Organic monk fruit extract enhances the flavour of our superfood beverages without the addition of sugar, stevia, or artificial flavours.

Why does Botanica Perfect Protein Elevated contain organic acacia gum, and is it difficult to digest?

We have made this recent addition to some of our formulas in order to improve the texture & blend-ability where needed. Our goal is always to deliver the best taste & texture experience to our customers, while ensuring that our products are Certified Organic and free of unwanted fillers. Organic acacia gum is known to be easy to digest and tolerated by even the most sensitive tummy.

Can Botanica Perfect Protein Elevated be used in baking or cooking?

Yes, Perfect Protein Elevated can be used in baking or cooking, for example, for the preparation of muffins, breads, cookies or bars. However, the product may lose some nutritional value when exposed to very high heat.

WHY DO THE PERFECT PROTEINS NO LONGER HAVE A SCOOP?

As a proud B-Corp business, we’ve made this decision in order to ensure a positive impact on the environment by using less plastic. The recommended serving sizes remain the same. We have simply changed the directions on the label, shifting from scoops to tablespoons or teaspoons depending on the formula.
