Ingredient

Pea Protein Isolate

Neutral in 2

Scout's take

Plant-based protein that's notably good for a legume but still less bioavailable than whey or other animal-source proteins, meaning more grams are needed to deliver the same usable amino acids for muscle protein synthesis. Naturally low in methionine, so it does not stand alone as a complete protein and is typically blended with rice. Pea crops are also well-documented soil accumulators of lead and cadmium — the suspected primary contamination route in this product. This product specifically uses yellow peas sourced from northern France.

Processed plant protein. Less allergenic than soy but lower bioavailability than animal protein.
