Whey protein and plant protein are two different types of protein supplements, each derived from distinct sources and offering unique nutritional properties. Here are the key differences between the two:

Source:

• Whey Protein: Whey protein is derived from milk during the cheese-making process
• Plant Protein: Plant proteins are sourced from various plant-based foods, such as peas, soybeans, rice, hemp, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, and many others.

2. Amino Acid Profile:

• Whey Protein: Whey protein is considered a complete protein, as it contains all nine essential amino acids that the human body cannot produce on its own.
• Plant Protein: Plant proteins, while also containing all nine essential amino acids, are sometimes limited in one or more of them. However, by combining different plant protein sources, individuals can ensure they get a complete amino acid profile.

3. Lactose and Allergen Content:

• Whey Protein: Whey protein contains lactose, a natural sugar found in milk. This can be an issue for people who are lactose intolerant or have a milk allergy.
• Plant Protein: Plant protein is naturally free from lactose and is a suitable alternative for individuals with lactose intolerance or milk allergies.

4. Taste

• Whey Protein: Whey isolate typically has a mild, neutral flavour with a slightly sweet undertone. Additionally, our flavoured varieties of whey isolate are available, offering options like chocolate, vanilla, cookies & cream, salted caramel and more, which can enhance the taste and versatility of the protein powder.
• Plant Protein: Plant proteins typically has a slightly earthy and nutty flavour with a hint of sweetness. Additionally, our flavoured varieties of plant protein are available, offering options like chocolate, vanilla and salted caramel which can enhance the taste and versatility of the protein powder.

Complete proteins are proteins that contain all nine essential amino acids in sufficient quantities to meet the body's needs. Essential amino acids are those that the human body cannot produce on its own and must be obtained from the diet.

Yes, vegan protein can be a good option for weight loss, just like any other protein source. When it comes to weight loss, the key factor is creating a calorie deficit, which means consuming fewer calories than your body burns.

Similar to Whey Proteins, Plant proteins can aid in weight management and support a healthy body composition. Protein has a higher thermic effect compared to fats and carbohydrates, meaning your body burns more calories to digest and process protein. Additionally, protein helps you feel full and satisfied, which can reduce overall calorie intake and support weight loss or maintenance efforts.

Yes, plant proteins can certainly help with building muscle.

Consuming a plant based protein that contains all 9 essential amino acids can be beneficial to optimise muscle building, muscle tissue repair and growth.

Yes, plant proteins are typically lactose-free.

Lactose is a sugar found in milk and dairy products, and since plant-based proteins come from sources such as legumes (e.g., beans, lentils), grains (e.g., quinoa, rice), nuts (e.g., almonds, peanuts), seeds (e.g., chia seeds, hemp seeds), and vegetables, they do not contain lactose.

This makes plant-based proteins a suitable alternative for individuals who are lactose intolerant or have a dairy allergy. Plant-based protein sources are also commonly used by vegans and vegetarians as a primary source of protein in their diets.

Nope!  Plant-based proteins are not inherently acne-causing and do not stimulate the hormones that increase oil production in our skin unlike whey proteins for some people.

Plant protein powders, in general, should not cause constipation on their own. In fact, many people find that plant-based protein powders are easier on the digestive system compared to some animal-based protein powders.

Plant protein powders are derived from sources such as peas, rice, hemp, soy, and others that are rich in fibe and often promote regular bowel movements and prevent constipation.
