FAQs

How does plant protein compare to whey?

It’s slower digesting and may lack some amino acids, but works well for most training goals — especially when blended.

What plant sources are best?

Pea, hemp, and brown rice are common and effective. Look for organic or non‑GMO if that’s important to you.

Does it cause bloating?

It can — especially if it contains gums, soy or high fibre. Look for reviews mentioning digestion.

Is it OK for weight loss?

Yes — it’s filling and can help manage hunger, just like whey.
