Pea Protein Multi: The Complete Guide — Ingredients, Dosage, Pairings & FAQ

If you’re looking for a clean, plant-based protein powder that goes beyond just protein, Pea Protein Multi from Vitadefence might be exactly what you need. This 500 g powder combines pea protein isolate with green tea, spirulina, açai, and dandelion root, creating a nutrient-rich shake that supports your daily routine without artificial additives. Whether you’re blending it into a post-workout drink or stirring it into your morning yoghurt, this formula is designed to be both practical and evidence-led.

What is Pea Protein Multi?

Pea Protein Multi is a plant-based protein powder that blends pea protein isolate with a selection of botanical extracts and superfoods. Pea protein isolate is derived from yellow split peas (Pisum sativum) and is a popular choice for those avoiding dairy, soy, or gluten. It provides a complete amino acid profile, with a particularly high level of lysine, which supports muscle repair and growth.

The formula also includes green tea leaf extract, dandelion root powder, spirulina powder, and açai berry extract. These ingredients are chosen for their traditional use in supporting overall vitality. Green tea is well-known for its antioxidant properties, while spirulina and açai are often included in green powders for their nutrient density. Dandelion root has a long history in traditional herbal medicine as a gentle digestive support.

This product is not a meal replacement but a versatile protein supplement that can be added to a balanced diet. It’s particularly suitable for vegans, vegetarians, and anyone looking to increase their protein intake from a plant source.

Pea Protein Multi ingredients

Here is the full ingredient panel as printed on the pot:

• Pea Protein (Pisum sativum) Isolate – a high-quality plant protein with all essential amino acids.
• Fibre (Chicory Root (Cichorium intybus) Extract) – a source of inulin, a prebiotic fibre that supports digestive health.
• Green Tea Leaf (Camellia Sinensis) Extract – traditionally used for its antioxidant properties.
• Dandelion Root (Taraxacum officinale) Powder – traditionally used to support digestive function.
• Spirulina Powder (Arthrospira platensis) – a blue-green algae rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals.
• Acai Berry (Euterpe Oleracae Martius) Extract – a berry traditionally consumed for its nutrient content.
• Stabiliser (Xanthan Gum) – a natural thickener to improve texture.
• Sweetener: Stevia Leaf Extract (Steviol glycosides) – a plant-based sweetener with zero calories.

Each pot contains 500 g of powder, providing 20 servings of 25 g each. The reference intake for an average adult is 8400 kJ / 2000 kcal.

How the formula was designed

The design of Pea Protein Multi is grounded in the idea that a protein supplement can do more than just deliver amino acids. By combining pea protein isolate with chicory root fibre, the formula supports both muscle recovery and digestive health. Chicory root extract is a natural source of inulin, a prebiotic fibre that feeds beneficial gut bacteria.

The addition of green tea, spirulina, açai, and dandelion root provides a broad spectrum of phytonutrients. These ingredients were selected for their traditional use in supporting overall wellness, not for any specific disease-related claim. The formula avoids artificial sweeteners, colours, and flavours, using stevia leaf extract for sweetness and xanthan gum for a smooth texture.

This approach reflects the brand’s commitment to transparency and evidence-led nutrition. Every ingredient is chosen to complement the protein base without unnecessary additives, making it suitable for those who prefer clean-label products.

The science — what’s well-supported

Pea protein isolate has been studied for its role in supporting muscle protein synthesis. A 2015 study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found that pea protein promoted muscle thickness gains comparable to whey protein in athletes (Babault et al., 2015). The recommended dose for muscle support is typically 20–40 g of protein per serving, and Pea Protein Multi provides approximately 20 g of protein per 25 g scoop (based on typical pea protein isolate composition).

Green tea extract contains catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which have been studied for their antioxidant properties. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has authorised the claim that green tea catechins contribute to the maintenance of normal blood flow and circulation when consumed at a dose of 300 mg per day (EFSA Journal, 2011). The amount in Pea Protein Multi is provided as a complementary ingredient, not at the therapeutic dose.

Spirulina is a nutrient-dense algae rich in protein, B vitamins, and iron. A 2014 review in Nutrients noted that spirulina supports normal immune function due to its phycocyanin content (Belay, 2014). However, no specific health claims are made for spirulina in this product.

Açai berries are traditionally consumed for their antioxidant content, but the evidence for specific health benefits is still emerging. Dandelion root has a traditional use in herbal medicine for digestive support, but clinical studies are limited.

It’s important to note that no ingredient in this product is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. All claims are based on authorised EU health claims for vitamins and minerals where applicable, or traditional use for botanicals.

How to take it

For best results, add 1 scoop or 4 heaped teaspoons (25 g) to a glass. Mix with water, fruit juice, soya milk, or another liquid of your choice. You can also add it to yoghurt, blend with berries, or incorporate it into smoothies for a delicious high-protein shake.

Each pot contains 20 servings, so one pot will last 20 days if taken once daily. You can adjust the serving size based on your protein needs, but we recommend starting with one serving per day.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children. Do not use if the seal is damaged. The best before date is printed on the base of the pot. Once opened, use within 3 months for optimal freshness.

Allergen and dietary information

This product is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It is Halal approved. The ingredients are free from common allergens such as dairy, soy, gluten, and eggs. However, it is manufactured in a facility that handles other ingredients, so cross-contamination cannot be ruled out. Always check the label if you have specific allergies.

Who should be cautious

Pea Protein Multi is generally safe for most adults. However, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a medical condition, consult your healthcare professional before use. The product contains green tea extract, which provides a small amount of caffeine (approximately 10–20 mg per serving). If you are sensitive to caffeine, consider taking it earlier in the day.

Individuals with kidney issues should monitor their protein intake and consult a doctor before adding protein supplements to their diet. The chicory root fibre may cause mild digestive discomfort in some people, especially if taken in large amounts. Start with half a serving to assess tolerance.

What pairs well with Pea Protein Multi

Pea Protein Multi can be combined with other Vitadefence products to create a comprehensive wellness routine. Moringa Oleifera is a nutrient-dense leaf powder that traditionally supports energy levels. You can add a scoop of Moringa to your Pea Protein Multi shake for an extra boost of vitamins and minerals. For more information, read our Moringa Oleifera guide.

Spirulina is another excellent pairing, as it complements the spirulina already in the formula. Spirulina is rich in protein and B vitamins, making it a great addition for those looking to increase their nutrient intake. Check out our Spirulina guide for tips on how to use it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Pea Protein Multi suitable for weight loss?

Pea Protein Multi can be part of a weight management plan when used as a protein supplement. Protein helps increase satiety, which may reduce overall calorie intake. However, it is not a meal replacement and should be used alongside a balanced diet and exercise.

Does it contain caffeine?

Yes, the green tea extract provides a small amount of caffeine, approximately 10–20 mg per serving. This is much less than a cup of coffee (which contains around 95 mg), but if you are sensitive to caffeine, consider taking it in the morning.

Can I take it if I’m allergic to soy or dairy?

Yes, Pea Protein Multi is free from soy and dairy. It is plant-based and suitable for vegans. However, it is manufactured in a facility that handles other ingredients, so cross-contamination is possible. Check the label or contact us if you have severe allergies.

How does it taste?

The powder has a mild, earthy flavour due to the pea protein and green tea. It mixes well with water, but for a better taste, we recommend blending it with fruit juice, soya milk, or adding it to a smoothie with berries.

Can I use it for baking?

Yes, you can add Pea Protein Multi to baked goods like muffins, pancakes, or protein bars. However, heating may reduce the protein content slightly, so it’s best to add it to cold or warm dishes rather than high-heat baking.

Is it safe for children?

This product is designed for adults. Children may not need additional protein supplements unless advised by a healthcare professional. Keep out of reach of children.
