Description
Evidence Tier · Randomized Controlled Trials
Fava bean protein isolate and fermented yeast protein with natural vanilla.
What It Does
Supports muscle growth and maintenance on a plant-based diet.*
How It Works
Protein supplies the amino acids that muscle protein synthesis requires. Combining plant sources improves the amino acid profile.
Why This Form
Soy-free and dairy-free, with 20 g protein per serving.
Clinical Evidence
A meta-analysis of 49 randomized trials found protein supplementation increased gains in muscle mass and strength with resistance training.¹ A review compared the anabolic response to plant and animal proteins.²
What The Evidence Does Not Show
Plant proteins have lower leucine per gram than whey, so a larger serving is needed for a similar effect.
