Would a hydrolyzed plant based protein be at all comparable to a dairy based protein in terms of ability to grow muscle? Any issues in regards to phytoestrogens or heavy metal contamination? This product is of interest as I am sensitive to dairy products and want something very easy to digest - please suggest any potential alternatives.
Thank-you!
Are you allergic to dairy or lactose (milk sugar)?
The reason I ask is that whey concentrate (WPC) is generally going to have lactose in it, but a good quality whey protein isolate (WPI) is going to be lactose fee. So if your issue is lactose, then a good quality WPI is the best way to go.
For me personally, whey protein concentrate bothers my stomach, but I can drink whey protein isolate with no issues.
Some people may say that phytoestrogens from plant proteins may be a big deal; I don't think its that huge of an issue.
Heavy metals - this comes more down to the individual brand and whether they really do testing for that or not. It certainly could be an issue, and brands are supposed to test for that, but many unfortunately don't.
The two proteins that I drink the most of are Ketogenics IsoWhey and their Zero Carb protein.
^^^ either of those would be suitable for you if the issue is lactose. And if you want to try them to make sure, they have sampler packs you can buy to try the different flavors and make sure you like them.
If you want a great quality plant protein that tastes good, they have one called IsoPlant that tastes very good to be a plant based protein.
You mentioned ease of digestion - I drink a lot more shakes than the average person bc I have so many food allergies, I have to consume a lot of my protein through food, so ease of digestion is extremely important to me. That's why I stick mainly to the ones I mentioned above because no digestive issues with those at all.
