As you all may know, Brenden has a plant-based company called Planet Protein. He just recently launched a protein powder that is full of superfoods, so we wanted to share a blog post of what superfoods are included and why! These natural supplements have healing powers that aid in proper body function and overall wellness.
Reishi
- Boosts your immune system.
- Increases the activity of the natural killer cells that fight infections and cancer.
- Reduces the abnormal blood vessel formations that could lead to cancerous growths.
- Prevents neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s disease, and even cancer.
- Fights fatigue and depression.
Cacao

Methyl B12
- Needed for proper body function.

- Aids in the control of anemia and helps in the formation of red blood cells.

- For people who eat a plant-based diet, it is essential to supplement vitamin Methyl B12 because most of the time it occurs in meat products and certain fortified foods.
BCAA’s
