Soy Protein Powder

About Soy Protein Powder

Soy Protein is derived from a legume just like pea protein, both of which contain the nine essential amino acids in abundance. The protein quality of soy can be compared to any premium protein source, such as pea, rice and whey. Research by the Journal of Applied Physiology published in 1985 indicated that soy protein is more effective than casein at stimulating muscle protein synthesis, with effects that were only slightly behind those of whey protein.

Muscle Protein Synthesis is essential for stimulating muscle healing, recovery and lean muscle growth. Essentially, without proper muscle protein synthesis, adaptation to sports and exercise can be impaired. Soy protein is rich in valuable essential amino acids, which includes the popular branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), contained at around 15%. This makes soy protein a quality plant-based supplement that may be used any time of the day.
