Complete Protein

Proteins are made of up to 20 amino acids - the building blocks of life. There are 9 amino acids our bodies can’t produce, so we need to get them through our diet. These are called ‘essential amino acids’. A complete protein contains all 9 of these essential amino acids, which are vital for muscle recovery and a host of other important functions.

Molto is made with a careful blend of plant-based protein (pea, rice and pumpkin) that delivers a powerful complete amino acid profile – 20g of complete plant-based protein per serve to support healthy muscle mass, effectively repair muscles & kick start your recovery. 

Prebiotics

Prebiotic foods are high in natural fibre that actively feed your microbiome, promoting the growth of good bacteria in the gut. 

Molto's super ingredients — chicory root, Peruvian carob (tara gum) & pea protein  — are all rich in plant prebiotic fibre, which feed the good bacteria in your gut. Good bacteria keep your ‘bad’ bacteria in check & help you break down dietary fibre and keep your gut happy and healthy.

Numerous studies have demonstrated strong links between gut health and full body health. Maintaining a healthy balance of bacteria in your gut can enhance your immune system function, reduce chronic inflammation, improve symptoms of depression or anxiety, improve overall nutrient absorption and digestion, help combat obesity and provide numerous other benefits including enhanced energy levels, concentration and hormone regulation (78).

Anti-inflammatory spices

Molto is enriched with cinnamon, a wonder spice that not only tastes delicious but has been shown to reduce inflammation, reduce oxidative stress and ease muscle soreness too (82) reinforcing Molto's positive effects on recovery. Go super-spices!

Antioxidants

Antioxidants are very effective at neutralising reactive compounds called free radicals, which cause oxidative stress and inflammation. Foods (or protein shakes!) rich in antioxidants can help mop up these troublesome molecules, so having antioxidants after exercise may reduce the painful symptoms of DOMS. 

Vanilla not only tastes delicious but contains powerful phenolic plant components, vanillin and vanillic acid, which have antioxidant & anti-inflammatory properties.(100-101)

Stress-busting Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha, also known by its botanical name Withania Somnifera, is a small woody plant with yellow flowers native to India and North Africa.

The plant, particularly its root, has been used for over 3,000 years as a natural Ayurvedic remedy against various ailments.

It’s classified as an adaptogen and it has been shown in numerous modern scientific research that enjoying ashwagandha daily (especially over periods of 4 weeks or more) can reduce anxiety and stress cortisol levels by up to 30% (96-98), boost the muscle-building effects of protein (95), reduce inflammation and boost mood and sleep (99).

Each Molto serve provides 500mg Ashwagandha so add a daily Molto to your healthy diet & start feeling the Zen.
