    Michèle Gagné

    Non satisfaite... Je pensais que le riz était germé et bio fermenté et je vois dans la description des ingrédients qu'il ne l'est pas.

    Bonjour Michèle,

    Avant tout, merci d'avoir pris le temps de partager votre avis et vos réflexions pertinentes. Nous apprécions sincèrement l'attention que vous portez à nos politiques et à nos produits.
    Nous reconnaissons l'importance des détails techniques et nous nous efforçons de mettre à jour régulièrement les fiches de nos fournisseurs pour chaque ingrédient. En cas de modification, nous adaptons en conséquence notre site internet et notre packaging lors de chaque impression.
    En ce qui concerne la fermentation et la germination, il est vrai que ce sont des domaines complexe et passionnant. Le terme 'germé' est maintenant moins recommandé dans le domaine des protéines végétales car la germination complète d'un grain peut s'étaler sur plusieurs jours.

    Sachez que nos protéines sont extraites grâce à des méthodes naturelles et de grande qualité, comprenant un trempage et un procédé enzymatique. Cela nous permet d'aboutir à des concentrations de 80% pour la protéine de pois et 90% pour la protéine de riz.
    Ces procédés leur confèrent également un goût doux et neutre, différent des autres méthodes de concentration et vous permet ainsi de déguster nos protéines au goût naturel, que vous pouvez aisément incorporer à vos recettes.
    Bien qu'une étape de trempage soit incluse pour nos protéines de riz et de pois, elle est insuffisante pour garantir une germination et fermentation à 100%.

    Votre confiance est très importante pour nous à Nature Zen et nous continuons donc de nous engager à vous fournir des produits de la meilleure qualité en toute transparence.

    Nous vous souhaitons de persévérer dans votre quête de bien-être, et espérons que vous continuerez à trouver satisfaction dans nos produits.

    L'équipe Nature Zen

    Best I ever had

    I have tried a lot of plant-based protein powders and NatureZen is by far the best I ever had. Less ingredients than most of the competitors, no weird aftertaste, easy to blend...I just love it!

    Certified Organic Protein

    We are committed to using carefully selected, high-quality ingredients to create exceptional, protein-rich blends.

    Incredible facts about our protein

    • Win at every shake

      We believe and love what we do. For that, we put the best in our protein.

      • Certified organic & vegan
      • Made from whole grain rice protein
      • Best quality, taste & texture
      • 0g. of sugar, no artificial sweetener
      • High concentration: made with 90% concentrated organic rice protein
      • Sugar-free and suitable for ketogenic diet (protein powders)
      • Balanced amino acid profile
      • 3 delicious flavors
    • Be confident about what you eat

      When we talk about a healthy diet, an adequate intake of high-quality protein is key to maintaining optimal health

      • It provides a sustaining, constant, light energy (1)
      • It is essential to build, maintain and repair muscle mass and bones (2)
      • It is involved in a multitude of metabolic, chemical and hormonal reactions in the body (3)
      • It helps us maintain a healthy weight (the feeling of satiety, the metabolic rate are increased) (4)
    • Plant-based powered

      Plant-based protein, regarded for a long time as of lower quality than animal protein, is now acknowledged not only as equal, but superior in terms of muscle and complementary benefits

      • It contains more fibers and phytonutrients than animal protein. (5)
      • A diet that is high in plant-based protein helps to lower blood pressure, lessen bad cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. (6)
      • Studies have shown that the consumption of plant-based protein is linked to a decrease in the occurrence of certain types of cancer. (7)

    • Bye bye cravings

      Thanks to its very nature (a chain of amino acid), quality plant-based protein leads to a deeper, more long-lasting feeling of satiety, and more stabilized energy than carbohydrates or lipids - which are, nevertheless, essential for a healthy and varied diet. (1)


      - For instance, studies demonstrate that a quality plant-based protein breakfast favors a lower calorie intake throughout the day. (2)


      - Pea protein is proven to increase the feeling of satiety. (3)

    • The organic difference

      Because we care for our planet an the people who live on it. Making organic products is essential for us.

      • Certified organic food has several effects such as being an antioxidant, antimutagenic, and inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells are superior to conventional food. (4)
      • It prevents increased exposure to pesticides and their accumulation in the body, linked to various health problems (cancers, diabetes, degenerative neurological diseases, fertility problems, ADHD, congenital malformations...) (5)
      • It reduces exposure to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. (6)
      • It is better for the environment (preserves the soil, fauna & flora integrity, etc...) (7)
    • Help to maintain bone density

      Quality plant-based protein plays a key role in the growth and maintenance of bone density. And even better, it does so at any age.

      The difference in the amino acid composition in plant and animal protein has noticeable effects on several health factors. Among other things, it has been proven that animal protein has negative effects on several health factors, including bone density. (8)

      Quality+ plant proteins such as Nature Zen organic, sprouted brown rice protein and organic pea protein, are therefore excellent alternatives to ensure growth and maintenance of healthy bone density. (9)

    FAQs

    How much protein do I need?

    Several institutions (such as the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics) recommend a daily intake of 0.8g of protein/kg of body weight for an average individual. For Athletes, this intake should be at least 1.2g of protein/kg of body weight.

    So if you have an average physical activity and your body weight is about 80kg, the daily protein intake for you would be 64g (including all protein sources throughout the day).

    And if you are an athlete and your body weight is 60kg, the daily protein intake for you would be 72g and more (including all protein sources throughout the day).

    Also, protein is not stored by the body, so it should be eaten every day.

    How and when to use protein ?

    Protein intake is recommended in the morning before starting your day as it will give you balance in your energy all day long. Another good moment in the day is 30 minutes (or less) after a physical activity.

    You can take your organic vegan protein in shakes or smoothies for example, mixed with fruits or vegetables, as you like. We also recommend to use plant-based milk for better taste and digestion.

    Is it good for children to take protein?

    Yes. And not only are they good for children, but they are even recommended, as it sustains growth, immune system, and balance in energy and mood throughout the day!

    As an example, for children aged 4 to 13, it is suggested to take 0.95g of protein per kg / day. So for a 20kg child, this is equivalent to 19g (including all the protein sources in his/her daily diet).

    With our vegan and organic proteins, digestion and absorbtion rates by the body (98%) are even better than with other protein sources.
