Vegan/Eco

Protein used in protein powders can be divided into animal and vegetable proteins. Vegetable proteins include soy, rice, peas and hemp proteins. Among vegetable proteins, soy protein, rice protein and pea protein are by far the most popular. Soy and hemp are unique among vegetable protein sources because they supply all 8 essential amino acids. One way to improve a protein powder is to enrich them with additional amino acids such as glutamine, BCAAs and arginine. Vegetable proteins have become very popular from a health and environmental perspective.
