@heathercc7774 Sadly I'm from Germany, I reckon you're from the US? It's not that important, I'm just looking for some practical advice what to look out for when I'm purchasing my next powder^

@kjkc Thanks for sharing mate! I'm from Germany but this still is a valuable insight nonetheless :)

@kjkc What's different about vegan whey compared to other multicomponent powders? I wasn't aware that vegan whey was its own entity, I always assumed it's just for marketing reasons haha.

@clementinemoon Yeah your right and totally fine not doing the math, it's not necessary. I'll definitely remember getting a pea and rice protein, but in general if one has many different protein sources in the diet its always better than heavily relying on one.

@clementinemoon That's a good point as well, one wants to get the best bang for the buck of course. Interesting, are you looking for exact ratios when combing the different protein sources? Cause for example one can increase the chemical score of wheat protein when it's combined with legumes at...

@katie4469 I'll give that a shot, thanks for the advice👍🏼

@katie4469 Sounds good, would you tell me which ones I do have to look out for?

@leudoca Thanks for the great input! Can you tell me me what a proper distribution of EAAs look like or which ones are 'more essential' than others? I thought leucine and isoleucine were quite important but that definitely makes sense. I assumed powders with added EAAs generelly had a better...

Over the last years there have been ever more vegan protein powders on the market. One important aspect is the biological value of these products, hence how good your body can absorb the protein for protein synthesis . Soy ranks highest of the plant protein sources with a score of 82, whereas...

@louy51 Nice yeah I aim at 100g at least maybe a bit more but don't really keep track of it at the moment. I have never supplemented creatine but bought a badge a few days ago and maybe I'll hop on it the next few weeks. Creatine is definitely one of the best PEDs👍🏼 My B12 is fine but D3 very...

@tanasee That's very good to know, thank you! I wouldn't pay extra for like 3g more leucine per 100g of powder but it's good to know that with a balanced diet supplementing it isn't necessary, thanks👍🏼 And oh yeah I can imagine that unflavoured leucine tastes horrible haha.

Hey there, with L-Leucine being one of the most important amino acids I wondered if some of you may supplement it? I gave a new protein powder a try and it had 10.3g of Leucine per 100g of product. As far as I'm aware that's the sweet spot and makes the powder higher in quality all around...
