Science Facts

Pea Protein vs Whey Protein

A study examined the effects of whey and pea protein supplementation on physiological adaptations following 8-weeks of high-intensity functional training (HIFT). Authors conclude that whey and pea protein ingestion produces similar outcomes in measurements of body composition, muscle thickness, force production, WOD performance, and strength following 8-weeks of SHIFT.

Pea Protein Properties

Pea protein includes four significant classes (globulin, albumin, prolamin, and glutelin), in which globulin and albumin are major storage proteins in pea seeds. It also has a well-balanced amino acid profile with a high lysine level.

Pea Protein and Muscle Gains

Researchers conducted the impact of oral supplementation with vegetable pea protein on one hundred and sixty one males, aged 18 to 35 years who underwent 12 weeks of resistance training on upper limb muscles. All had to take 25 g of the proteins or placebo twice a day during the 12-week training period. The results stated that supplementation with pea protein promoted a more significant increase in muscle thickness, especially for people starting or returning to a muscular strengthening.

Pea Protein and Blood Lipids

There is a heightened interest in plant-based diets for cardiovascular disease prevention. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials took place to assess the effect of this substitution on established lipid targets for cardiovascular risk reduction. The results revealed that substituting plant protein for animal protein decreases the established lipid targets, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B.

Pea Protein and Blood Glucose

After a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, the results indicate that replacing animal sources with plant protein leads to modest improvements in glycemic control in individuals with diabetes.

Pea Protein Health Benefits

Intake of plant protein was significantly associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality. Dose-response analysis showed an additional 3% energy from plant proteins a day was associated with a 5% lower risk of death from all causes.
