At PILLAR, performance is non-negotiable. That’s why we’ve engineered a plant-based protein that meets the same standards as our Grass Fed New Zealand Whey Protein Isolate: clean, complete, and designed for athletes who refuse to compromise.
With 20 g of premium plant protein from pea, fava bean, and pumpkin seed delivers a complete amino acid profile, robust BCAAs, and gut-friendly digestion, so you can recover faster, train harder, and stay on top of your game.
Plant protein has come a long way. Science now shows that, when formulated correctly, it can deliver the strength, recovery, and muscle growth benefits athletes need. Here’s why our blend works:
1. Muscle Growth Comparable to Whey
A 12-week trial demonstrated that pea protein supplementation increased muscle thickness comparably to whey protein during resistance training. For athletes focused on strength and hypertrophy, pea protein is a viable, high-performance option.
Reference: Babault N, et al. J Int Soc Sports Nutr (2015).
2. Strength & Recovery Support from Fava Bean
A 2025 randomized, double-blind study found that fava bean protein hydrolysate significantly improved strength and endurance when combined with training. On top of that, fava-derived peptides accelerate recovery following intense exercise, helping athletes bounce back faster.

3. Pumpkin Seed Protein for Energy & Recovery
Pumpkin seeds arginine and magnesium content supports blood flow, energy metabolism, and recovery, while its amino acid profile complements pea and fava protein, balancing any sulphur amino acid limitations.
Reference: Mariod AA, et al. Food Chemistry. 2009.
4. A Complete Amino Acid Profile
When blended together, pea, fava, and pumpkin seed deliver a complete essential amino acid (EAA) profile, including the leucine trigger (~2–3 g per serving) necessary to stimulate muscle protein synthesis (MPS). This ensures plant-based athletes can maximise muscle growth and recovery just like they would with whey.
