What Protein Is Right For You?

One of the questions that comes up most frequently during nutrition consultations is protein supplementation.

Should I supplement, and if so, which is the best protein?

This is completely dependent on each individual and the goals you are trying to achieve. While supplementation should not be a daily practice for an average person, some may find it hard to hit the minimum amount of protein needed to maintain optimal health.

Whey protein was the standard for such a long time and is highly available at vitamin and supplement shops.

Due to increased awareness on sustainability, alternative diets, and awareness of digestive issues, vegan proteins, especially those made from pea protein, are becoming increasingly popular.

So which is right for you? The best answer is to make an educated decision based off of your needs and values, and try different types to find which works best for your body and goals.
