Published in Amino Acids
Methodology
Laboratory analysis of protein and amino acid content of commercially available plant-based protein isolates including pea
Key Findings
Pea protein isolate provided a relatively high leucine content among plant proteins but lower methionine than whey
Conclusions
Pea protein is among the more anabolically favorable plant isolates but differs in essential amino acid profile from dairy protein
Limitations
Analytical study only; no clinical outcomes measured
Supplements Studied
