Written by:

WholisticMatters

The squeezed juice from the combined pods, vines, leaves, and stems of the common pea (Pisum sativum) is a nutritionally packed source of essential vitamins and a significant source for phenolic compounds that define its whole food matrix.

Key Nutrients

Percentages shown as %DV per serving of 5g peavine juice extract.

Key Phytonutrients

Chlorophyll

Green pigment in plants with potential anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-bacterial activity 

Flavonols

Promote antioxidant, anti-cancer, vascular, and anti-inflammatory activity

  • Kaempferol
  • Quercetin

Lignans

Polyphenolic compounds metabolized by gut bacteria that support antioxidant activity

Saponins

Support the immune system, healthy cholesterol levels, and blood glucose levels

Carotenoids

Antioxidants with anti-cancer potential and may lower risk of macular degeneration

  • Lutein (7.22 mcg/g)**
  • Zeaxanthin (0.39 mcg/g)**

Total Phenolic Content

Contains phenolic antioxidants that support endocrine balance, assist kidney function, and aid liver detoxification processes. Explore the uncommon properties of the common peavine.

  • Total Phenolics 33.9mg/g**
