Timing and quantity of protein intake

Research suggests that the two most important times to take protein are your first and last meal of the day, with the morning being particularly important.

The truth about plant protein

When calculating your daily protein intake adjust for the following:

Plant proteins in their natural form i.e. nuts seeds, legumes etc. are only around 60% bioavailable.

Conversely, plant isolates (i.e. faba, pea protein, rice isolates etc.) and animal derived proteins like whey, collagen, dairy, meat and fish are around 97% bioavailable.

FAQ's

Are Matakana Superfoods' plant proteins tested for heavy metals?

Yes. Every production batch of our plant protein powders is independently screened for heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury using ICP-MS testing. These results consistently show levels far below both our own internal targets and international safety standards.

Why is there concern about heavy metals in plant-based protein powders?

Recent global reports (including studies by Consumer Reports and The New York Times) found that many plant-based protein powders contain concerning levels of lead and other heavy metals. These results highlighted the need for better transparency and quality assurance across the industry.

How do Matakana Superfoods’ proteins compare to others on the market?

Our yellow pea and faba bean proteins are Australian-grown. Heavy metal assessments show Australian soils have significantly lower concentrations of cadmium, mercury and lead compared to global averages, providing a naturally clean foundation before processing even begins.

What extraction process is used to produce the plant protein isolates?

We use a clean aqueous extraction method with no chemical solvents or denaturing enzymes to maintain amino acid integrity and remove unwanted residues. This gentle process ensures the final product is both nutritionally rich and exceptionally pure.

What does this mean for me?

You can enjoy our plant protein products with confidence, knowing they are rigorously tested, responsibly produced, and benchmarked among the world’s cleanest and safest plant proteins.
