Is there a difference in proteins?



Recommended Posts

I know there are several different ways of getting Protein, but with the powders is there really any difference between pea, whey, soy or hemp? I live in a little town that doesn't have very much for health stores and they have a mixture of those 4 Proteins so I'm wondering if ones better than the others & why? I had surgery on 2/19 & have been having issues getting my protein in & am looking for so different options Any help you can give would be great. Thanks in advance for your info :}

There is a thread on here called "Not all proteins are equal" from O.T. R. http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/49499-always-check-the-ingredients-all-proteins-are-not-equal/page__hl__%2Bnot+%2Ball+%2Bproteins+%2Bare+%2Bequal, it gets into types of whey Protein, ones that are a good source of Protein and ones that are not.

Good luck!

When we started our post surgical diets we were told to only use supplements that were either whey Protein isolate or soy protein isolate. The NUT said that the reason for this is that they included all the essential amino acids that we would require to build protein. They wanted it to be the first ingredient on the list under the nutritional information. They also wanted us keeping an eye on the sugar and fat.

This is exactly what I was going to say!
