BROOKFIELD, WI, United States, via ETELIGIS INC., 04/27/2015 – – Trident Brands Incorporated (OTCQB: TDNT), announced today the release of Everlast VP, a vegan protein powder for health and fitness-conscious people who need more protein in their diet, but prefer to avoid animal-based amino acids. Everlast VP is a blend of yellow pea, rice and hemp proteins. It provides a GMO-free 22 grams of protein with 110 calories per serving.
More than 50 percent of 18-to-34-year-olds consume protein drinks, and sales of protein powder products are projected to exceed $4.5 billion in 2015. Research indicates consumer preference is shifting toward plant-based sources.
Trident Brands President, Michael Browne said, “Everlast VP addresses that market demand. Whey proteins have been around a long time. But there’s now a clear trend towards plant protein because it’s easier to digest than animal protein.” Browne said, “A lot of people were ready to make the switch to vegan proteins, but held back because of what he called the “Yuck Factor.”
“Everlast VP is a high quality protein blend, but it actually tastes good,” Browne said. “It doesn’t matter how good a product is if people don’t like the taste. VP has a mild taste – something you would enjoy drinking every day.” Browne continued, “Fitness trainers unanimously agree that protein, and plant protein in particular, should be a staple of personal fitness programs. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, add some lean muscle mass or train for a sport, Everlast VP fits the bill. It’s effective, priced right, and easy to use every day.”
