Vegan protein<\/strong> is a source of this nutrient obtained from foods of plant origin, such as legumes, cereals, and even seeds or algae.<\/p>\n Protein is the macronutrient<\/strong> responsible for repairing tissues damaged after training, maintaining muscle mass, and promoting muscle gain. It is especially important for all physically active people, who have goals and requirements to meet every day.<\/p>\n The different plant-based options are an excellent alternative for people who lead vegan or vegetarian lifestyles, are intolerant to lactose or milk proteins, and are looking for a supplement to make their intake easier.<\/p>\n Vegan protein supplements can be made with a single protein source or combine several of them.\u00a0The combination of several sources is usually used because the main drawback of plant protein is that most sources do not contain all the essential amino acids.<\/p>\n \n<\/li>\n \n<\/li>\n Essential amino acid content:<\/strong><\/p>\n Protein from whey contains a higher amount of BCAAs or branched-chain amino acids.<\/p>\n It is recommended to choose a plant-based protein supplement that combines several sources, since, as mentioned in the first section, it is usually lacking one or more amino acids, and the sources complement one another.<\/p>\n One of the most common combinations found in this type of supplement is pea, hemp, and rice.<\/p>\n Rice does not contain the amino acid lysine, while pea lacks methionine; when combined, both deficiencies are compensated for.<\/p>\n Texture and flavor.<\/strong><\/p>\n When prepared, whey protein is generally dissolved more easily and has a more pleasant texture than vegan protein sources. As with everything, it will depend on each person’s preferences.<\/p>\n Lactose and absorption<\/strong><\/p>\n Depending on the degree of lactose intolerance, a person may be able to consume whey protein isolate or hydrolyzed whey protein, since its lactose content is practically nonexistent.<\/p>\n Despite this, plant proteins are a safe option for avoiding any type of discomfort caused by this enzymatic deficiency.<\/p>\n Vegan or vegetarian diets.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you are vegan or vegetarian, it is recommended to choose a vegan protein, as it will not contain animal-derived products and will help you meet the requirements for this macronutrient.<\/p>\n Life Pro<\/strong> has a vegan protein supplement called Vegan Protein\u00a0Organic Protein.<\/p>\n This supplement has been designed with 2 different sources of pea and rice protein from organic sources.\u00a0All the ingredients used to make Vegan Protein come from organic farming.<\/p>\n With 71%, 76%, or 77%, depending on the flavor, of protein in its composition, it ranks as one of the purest vegan proteins on the market.<\/strong><\/p>\n In addition, in terms of other macronutrients, it contains less than 1%\u00a0carbohydrates\u00a0and fat in its composition.<\/p>\n \n\n\nDifferent sources of vegan protein<\/h2>\n
