Supplement
Pea protein is a protein powder made from yellow peas, and the body breaks it down into amino acids it uses to build and repair muscle and other tissues. People mostly look at it for cancer-related fatigue, and the evidence there is limited: one small trial of 39 participants found fatigue symptoms improved. Because that is a single small study, it is too early to say how well the result would hold up in other people.
