Frequently asked questions
What is the mission of Five Plus Protein?
At Five Plus Protein, we are committed to providing high-quality protein supplements which meet our three non-negotiable standards:
1. no added sugar
2. easily digestible ingredients
3. anti-inflammatory properties
It is these three standards that act as the foundation when formulating our products to enhance our customers’ lives with our Five Plus Protein products.
Why is it called Five Plus Protein?
We named our protein supplement line Five Plus Protein because of the five main characteristics:
1. No sugar added
2. Non-GMO
3. Vegan
4. Plant-powered protein
5. Excellent source of fiber; plus, turmeric, cinnamon, and cacao for their anti-inflammatory properties
Note: While not accepted by the FDA as "anti-inflammatory" treatments, turmeric, cinnamon, and cacao have been shown in studies to reduce inflammation.
What are the main ingredients in Five Plus Protein Bars?
We use high-quality, real-food ingredients in our bars. A few of our main ingredients are pea protein, MCT oil, a stevia and monk fruit blend for sweetness, along with turmeric, cinnamon, and cacao. We avoid artificial ingredients, added sugars, and fillers.

The amount of protein varies depending on the flavor, but most Five Plus Protein bars contain at least 12 grams of protein per bar.
