soy protein

[dirtwarrior]

I switched to soy protein isolate. I got a very good protein that mixes well and has no additives so I have to sweeten it.
OK pro and cons I have noticed
PROS
It does build muscle (not as well as whey)
It is easier on the body (creatine not a byproduct)
A little cheaper
Complete protein (lacking in other needed amino acids)

CONS
Does not build muscle as well as whey
Creatine not a byproduct so easier on the kidneys (this is 1 reason it does not build muscle as well)
E2 went from 17 to 31 (I am not happy with this)

Re: soy protein

brother get away from soy. if you want to go the vegan protein route their are much better alternates to soy. true nutrion has a ton of options for you to choose from. i sampled some pea protein not to long ago that wasnt to awful bad. not my cup of tea and i try to grow as much as possible so it isnt feasable for me personally

Re: soy protein

I was actually talking about the pea protein with a friend of mine not too long ago. He leans more toward the vegan route, tried it and liked a lot. I definitely stay away from soy protein if possible. Soy contains phytoestrogens and while the effect on dudes may be weak, I'd still err on the side of caution. Especially if you are sensitive to estrogen sides.

Re: soy protein

Not to worry about phyto estrogen sides from isolate. they are removed unlike soy protein concentrate. but it may be a complete protein. soy does not have the amounts of aminos that . Mixing soy isolate with pea or hemp protein helps fill in the gaps. But i will still just use whey as it is cheap and the kind of proteins.

for devils advocate. why are you using soy protein?
