Peas are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Therefore, pea protein powder holds the same inflammation fighting benefits.  To gain the anti-inflammatory benefits, it is best to take a pea protein that isn’t isolated. Isolated pea protein does not contain the carbohydrates that the non-isolated pea protein does. The carbohydrates hold the inflammation-fighting benefits and will help with inflammation issues and help reduce its effect.
