Whey and Soy VS Pea and Rice Protein blend: Are you a strength athlete? A body builder? Are you vegetarian or vegan and feel you are losing too much of an edge if you were to switch to the Pea/Rice Protein combination? Do you have allergies or perhaps lactose intolerant? Pea and rice protein are godsends to athlete’s looking for an alternative to soy or even whey protein. These two plant proteins eclipse all others in both protein content and essential amino acid content. They bring none of soys hormonal baggage, and they are far less likely than soy to qualify as GMO. Especially when they are combined, they become the first vegetable protein source that provides a comparable alternative to animal-derived proteins such as whey. Most Athletes are aware that rice protein is low in lysine, an amino acid important for human growth and bone health. However Pea protein is rich in lysine and a number of other amino acids such as arginine and glutamic acid, both of which lend support during intense physical exertion and subsequent workout recovery. Equally important to the athlete, pea protein offers a wealth of the crucial branched-chain amino acids which include: • Isoleucine: can help reduce the harmful effects of stress on your body • Leucine: is essential for growth as a stimulator for protein synthesis in muscle when consumed as part of a resistance-training program • Valine: specifically supports lean muscle-mass building and muscle repair So while rice protein and pea protein each have limitations as individual sources of protein, Arbonnes Meal Replacement/Protein Shakes combines them, giving you an amino acid score of 100% to meet your protein synthesis goal in post-exercise meals. Vegetarian athletes everywhere should have supplements which use the combination of pea and rice protein on their nutritional radar. Whey is no longer the only way!
