While most meal replacements use whey, Health FX uses pea protein — and for good reason.

Pea protein is dairy-free and allergen-friendly. With up to 65% of people carrying some level of dairy intolerance — often without knowing it — pea protein is simply easier on your digestive system than dairy-based alternatives.

Unlike green peas (which are high FODMAP), our pea protein comes from non-GMO yellow split peas, making it low FODMAP and suitable for people managing gut conditions.‎

But gentle doesn't mean weak. Pea protein is rich in micronutrients that support healthy muscles and bones, plus iron and essential amino acids your body can't produce on its own — crucial for metabolism, weight management, heart health, blood flow, and cell repair.

Clinically shown to support:

• Healthy muscles
• Appetite control
• Energy
• Tissue repair
• Gut health
• Strong bones

Found in Fast FX, Soups, Essentials, Eliminate and Total.
