Plant-Based Insights

1) A pilot study on the effects of whey protein vs pea protein on physical adaptations following 8 weeks of high intensity functional training. Link can be found here.

2) A randomized trial on real ileal amino acid digestibility of pea protein compared to casein in healthy humans. Link can be found here. 

3) A narrative review on plant-based food patterns to stimulate muscle protein synthesis and support muscle mass in humans. Link can be found here. 

4) A critical review on the role of the anabolic properties of plant- versus animal-based protein sources in supporting muscle mass maintenance. Link can be found here. 

5) Vegan and omnivorous high protein diets support comparable daily myofibrillar protein synthesis rates and skeletal muscle hypertrophy in young adults. Link can be found here. 

6) The muscle protein synthetic response to the ingestion of a plant-derived protein blend does not differ from an equivalent amount of milk protein in healthy young males. Link can be found here.
