SaviSeed (sacha inchi)

Used in the meticulously blended Sequel Naturals Vega Sport Performance Protein Blend, SaviSeed is the trademark name of sacha inchi seeds (which Sequel Naturals also launched). While notable for their gargantuan dose of omega-3s (they have 13 times more omega-3s than wild salmon per serving), they also have ample amounts of highly digestible protein—8 grams per ounce.

But why are sacha inchi seeds so valuable to include in protein powder blends? They offer tryptophan (about 8 times more than a typical roasted turkey), an amino acid that helps promote nitrogen balance in adults and mental recovery—a needed aspect in any strenuous workout plan.
