What Is Core Strength?<\/h2>\nCore Strength is a vegan protein powder made from pea, hemp and pumpkin seeds. Complemented by a natural vanilla flavor, this plant protein blend provides all 22 amino acids and 20 grams of protein per serving.\n\nIt\u2019s also low FODMAP certified by Monash University<\/a>, ensuring that our plant-based protein powder is easy to digest\u2014especially for those who suffer from GI distress.\n\nAll the while, Core Strength promotes lean muscle mass and complements a well-rounded diet.\nWhy We Made This Low FODMAP Protein Powder<\/h2>\nAs you may know, the market for protein powders is saturated with endless options.\n\nFor that reason, we surveyed 1,000 HUM consumers to understand exactly which features are most important to them when shopping for the best protein powder for their concerns.\nInnovation Based on Consumer Need<\/h3>\nFrom our survey, we found that:\n\n \t- 87 percent of consumers prefer flavored protein powder (with vanilla as the top choice)<\/li>\n \t
- 80 percent prefer plant-based protein<\/li>\n \t
- the most desired benefits are easy digestion<\/a> + support to build lean muscle<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nWith these insights on hand, we went through rounds of R&D to deliver these exact solutions.\n\nIt’s also worth noting that while Core Strength is vegan-friendly, it’s still attractive to people with a diverse range of dietary preferences. “We saw this formulation preference as a testament to recent food trends in general, with people growing curious about the benefits of plant-based diets<\/a>,” Maryam shares.\n\nPlus, our customers also helped us select the blend of Core Strength\u2019s three plant-based proteins.\nWhile pea protein is a common ingredient in many vegan protein powders, we were excited to see that people were open to trying newer varieties. “Though hemp and pumpkin seed are relatively new sources on the market, when paired with pea protein, they complete the full amino acid profile,” Maryam explains.\n
Low FODMAP Certified for Easy Digestion<\/h3>\nAs far as the most popular desired benefit goes, the majority of consumers surveyed hope to find the best protein powder for digestion.\n\n“Many protein powders can cause bloating\u2014especially those made from dairy<\/a> sources,” Maryam says. “For instance, some types of dairy-based proteins contain casein and\/or lactose, which, depending on your level of sensitivity, can cause digestive discomfort.”\n\nTo sidestep these potential side effects, we went the extra mile to formulate Core Strength as a low FODMAP protein powder, certified for easy digestion.\n\nNever heard of FODMAPs<\/a>? They stand for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. They’re packed in a variety of foods (both healthy and otherwise), may be poorly absorbed, and can thus contribute to digestive issues.\n\nGaby shares that low FODMAP dietary sources are beneficial<\/a> for those who regularly experience:\n\n \t- bloating<\/a><\/li>\n \t
- gas<\/a><\/li>\n \t
- irregular bowel movements<\/li>\n \t
- other types of stomach issues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n“A low FODMAP diet helps the digestive system to reset,” Gaby summarizes, “and Core Strength allows for a more comfortable supplemental protein experience.”\n\n

\nWhy Protein Is So Important<\/h2>\nIf you need a refresher on why we need protein, Gaby shares some quick yet important details.\n\n“Protein is one of the three main macronutrients, with the others being carbohydrates and fats,” she begins. “Of the three, protein is perhaps the most important one. It contains amino acids<\/a>\u2014the building blocks of protein\u2014that play a vital role in every function of the body.”\n\nFurther, she continues, “There are nine essential amino acids (meaning the body can\u2019t create them), which we need to get from food.”\n\nProtein supports (among many other things):\n\n \t- cell tissue + structure<\/li>\n \t
- muscle movement + contraction<\/li>\n \t
- the immune system<\/a><\/li>\n \t
- hormone balance<\/li>\n \t
- bone health<\/li>\n \t
- sleep<\/a> quality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How Much Protein Do You Need?<\/h2>\nWhile Gaby notes that protein deficiency isn’t very common, she says that most people can benefit from adding more protein to their diets.\n\nShe shares that most sedentary adults require at least 0.8 grams to one gram of protein per kilogram of body weight. For instance, if you weigh 150 pounds (68 kilograms) and are mildly active, you should aim for a daily intake of about 54 to 68 grams of protein per day.\n\nOtherwise, for those who follow more active lifestyles<\/a>\u2014think athletes and moderate-to-intense fitness buffs\u2014Gaby suggests upping the daily quota to 1.3 or 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. That means that an active person weighing 150 pounds (68 kilograms) should aim for 88 to 109 grams of protein daily.\n\nAt any rate, one serving of Core Strength packs 20 grams of plant-based protein to help you reach the recommended daily intake of this vital macronutrient.\n\nNote:<\/strong> Gaby says that the uppermost limit shouldn’t exceed 2 grams of protein<\/a> per kilogram of body weight. “Over time, that excess protein can take a toll on your digestive system,” she cautions.\n\n![\"Vegan](\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Low-FODMAP-Protein-Powder-Vegan-Ingredients-and-Benefits-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\")
\nIngredients + Benefits<\/h2>\nAs with the rest<\/a> of HUM’s supplements<\/a>, Core Strength is formulated solely with clinically proven ingredients that are:\n\n \t- clean + natural<\/li>\n \t
- gluten-free<\/li>\n \t
- non-GMO<\/li>\n \t
- free of artificial colors, flavors + preservatives<\/li>\n \t
- triple-tested for purity + verified by independent labs for potency<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nFurthermore, Core Strength includes 15 servings that each pack 20 grams of protein\u2014including all 22 amino acids\u2014in a natural vanilla flavor.\n\nNow, let’s take a closer look at the star ingredients in our low FODMAP protein powder.\n
Plant Protein Blend<\/h3>\nCore Strength contains three sources of plant-based protein:\n\n \t- pea protein<\/li>\n \t
- organic hemp seed protein<\/li>\n \t
- organic pumpkin seed protein<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nWhy these varieties? As Gaby puts it, vegan protein powders require a mixture of different sources to complete the “puzzle” to include all 22 amino acids.\n
Digestive Blend<\/h3>\nNext, to further support digestion while boosting protein intake, Core Strength’s digestive blend includes:\n\n \t- flax seed, which provides both soluble + insoluble fiber<\/a><\/li>\n \t
- digestive enzymes<\/a>, which improve digestion + nutrient absorption<\/li>\n \t
- L. acidophilus, the most researched probiotic strain for gut health<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

Whether you’re an athlete or fitness enthusiast, Core Strength can help you build and maintain lean muscle<\/a>.\n\nAdditionally, our low FODMAP protein powder is especially suited for those who regularly experience digestive issues.\n\nIt\u2019s also great for vegetarians, vegans, and plant-based eaters<\/a> concerned about reaching their protein intake.\n\nLastly, if you’re trying to prioritize weight management or simply know you\u2019re not getting enough protein, Core Strength is universal enough to be a beneficial addition to any wellness regimen.\nHow to Take It<\/h3>\nOf course, Core Strength is a great addition to smoothies. Simply add two scoops to your favorite recipe. Alternatively, you can mix it with eight ounces of water or nut milk<\/a>.<\/span>\n\nHowever, it\u2019s also incredibly versatile. Yes, you can sip it down, but Maryam notes that since Core Strength has no grit, it’s also “smooth enough to creatively include in your favorite baking recipes for an extra dose of protein.”\n\nAs for when<\/em> to take Core Strength? If your goal is to build lean muscle, Gaby clarifies the common assumption that you should have protein within a short anabolic window (15 to 60 minutes) following a workout. “This topic is often debated, but the current consensus<\/a> is that the post-exercise window is longer (around two hours or more) and still beneficial for muscle recovery.”\n\nNote:<\/strong> Core Strength isn’t meant to serve as a meal replacement.

How Much Protein Do You Need?<\/h2>\nWhile Gaby notes that protein deficiency isn’t very common, she says that most people can benefit from adding more protein to their diets.\n\nShe shares that most sedentary adults require at least 0.8 grams to one gram of protein per kilogram of body weight. For instance, if you weigh 150 pounds (68 kilograms) and are mildly active, you should aim for a daily intake of about 54 to 68 grams of protein per day.\n\nOtherwise, for those who follow more active lifestyles<\/a>\u2014think athletes and moderate-to-intense fitness buffs\u2014Gaby suggests upping the daily quota to 1.3 or 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. That means that an active person weighing 150 pounds (68 kilograms) should aim for 88 to 109 grams of protein daily.\n\nAt any rate, one serving of Core Strength packs 20 grams of plant-based protein to help you reach the recommended daily intake of this vital macronutrient.\n\nNote:<\/strong> Gaby says that the uppermost limit shouldn’t exceed 2 grams of protein<\/a> per kilogram of body weight. “Over time, that excess protein can take a toll on your digestive system,” she cautions.\n\n\nIngredients + Benefits<\/h2>\nAs with the rest<\/a> of HUM’s supplements<\/a>, Core Strength is formulated solely with clinically proven ingredients that are:\n\n \t- clean + natural<\/li>\n \t
