Pea protein or whey protein: Which is right for you?

No Comments
9 years ago

If you've just started using protein or are looking into your options, you might have some questions about which one to choose. After all, there are many types of protein powders and supplements. Two of the most popular types are whey powder and pea protein. Here are the benefits of using protein supplements as well as the differences between these two types to help you choose the best one for you:

Why protein supplements?

There are many benefits to supplementing your diet with protein shakes. For starters, bodybuilders, very active people and athletes need extra protein to keep their bodies going. Protein also helps build muscle. During strength training and other endurance workouts, muscle tissue is broken down, but ingesting protein no more than 30 minutes after working out is important in helping muscles to repair and recover. Many times, the easiest way to do that is to whip up a quick protein shake in the blender or just mix up a scoop or two of protein powder with any liquid of your choice.

For people who don't eat enough protein in their daily diets – such as vegans – protein supplements are a great way to ensure they get enough to keep their body energized and functioning properly. This is especially great on busy days when there isn't much time to cook. 

There is also some evidence that certain protein supplements are good for overall immune health, and even weight loss by reducing hunger.

Whey protein

People who don't have milk allergies often choose whey protein powder like Naturade 100% Whey. These are good because they contain high levels of branched-chain amino acids, which, when combined with intense exercise, are exceptionally good at helping to prevent muscle breakdown and facilitate post-workout recovery. Whey powders often contain the milk-product casein – a slow-digesting form of protein – which provides your cells with a steady supply of energy, a boon during extended workouts.

Pea protein

With the development of pea protein, vegans, vegetarians and those with restricted diets due to allergies can experience the full benefits of a protein powder. Choose a supplement like Naturade Pea Protein, which is excellent because it offers nine essential amino acids. It's also dairy- and soy-free, easily digestible and highly soluble. It's also good for weight loss and muscle-building.
