VEGAIN FAQ: Your SURGE Questions, Answered

We answer our own emails and DMs around here, and a handful of questions come up again and again. Here's the running list.

What Is SURGE?

SURGE is North America's first clear, plant-based protein beverage, made from Canadian-grown, hydrolyzed pea protein. It mixes clear in cold water like a juice instead of a shake, delivering 25g of complete plant protein per 30g serving.

Is Plant Protein as Good as Whey?

For muscle repair, what matters most is total protein and a complete amino acid profile, not the specific source. Hydrolyzed pea protein is complete on its own, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids.

Is SURGE Actually Vegan?

Yes. Dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free, non-GMO, and vegan.

Where Is SURGE Made?

The peas are grown in Canada (Saskatchewan and Alberta to be specific), and SURGE is manufactured here too, GMP certified, Informed Choice certified, and third-party tested for heavy metals and microbials.

Does SURGE Have Sugar in It?

No, zero sugar per serving.

What Flavours Are Available?

Mango Pineapple and Summerberry Lemonade…for now ;)

What Formats Does SURGE Come In?

Single-serve sachets, powder tubs, and ready-to-drink cans.

Is SURGE Safe for Competitive Athletes?

Yes. SURGE is Informed Choice certified, meaning it's third-party tested for banned substances and heavy metals. That's part of why pro and Olympic-level athletes use it.

Is SURGE a Good Option for Lactose Intolerance?

Roughly 70% of people have some degree of lactose intolerance, and SURGE is entirely dairy-free, so there's no lactose to react to in the first place.

Is it Safe for Children?

SURGE isn't formulated or tested specifically for children, so we'd always recommend checking with your pediatrician before giving it to your kids, especially if they have a hard time getting enough protein or tend to be picky eaters. With that being said, we do have customers who are known to give their kids SURGE. If you want to look into it yourself, our full ingredient list is on the product page, and we're happy to answer any specific questions.

Is SURGE Safe to Drink During Pregnancy?

Pregnancy comes with enough questions about what's safe to try, so we don't want to add to the guesswork: please check with your healthcare provider before adding SURGE, or anything new, to your routine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. With that being said, we have pregnant and postpartum customers who love it, and we're always happy to answer questions.
