Sacha Inchi Protein

The star-shaped sacha inchi seed (sometimes known as a nut) is grown in Peru. It is more expensive than common protein powders due to a limited supply.

Depending on the brand, a quarter-cup (28-gram) serving of sacha inchi protein powder has roughly 120 calories and 17 grams of protein. Except for lysine, it's a good source of all important amino acids. A small group of people given 30 grams (1 ounce) of sacha inchi protein powder was as effective as a similar quantity of soy protein powder in promoting protein synthesis in the body. Furthermore, sacha inchi protein is a particularly rich source of arginine, an essential amino acid that your body uses to produce nitric oxide. Nitric oxide causes your arteries to expand, resulting in better blood flow and reduced blood pressure.
