Frequently Asked Questions

What plant-based protein powders are best for Canadians?

Popular plant-based protein options in Canada include Vega (Vancouver-based), Genuine Health fermented proteins, Iron Vegan, and Garden of Life. Look for complete amino acid profiles from blends of pea, rice, hemp, or pumpkin seed protein. Many Canadian brands offer organic and non-GMO options.

Is plant protein as good as whey protein?

Yes! Plant protein blends can match whey protein for muscle building when they provide complete amino acids. Blends combining pea and rice protein have amino acid profiles comparable to whey. Plant proteins also offer additional fiber and are easier to digest for many people.

What is fermented plant protein?

Fermented plant protein is pre-digested using beneficial bacteria, making it easier to absorb and gentler on the stomach. Brands like Genuine Health specialize in fermented vegan proteins. Fermentation also increases the bioavailability of nutrients.

How much protein do I need daily?

General recommendations are 0.8g protein per kg body weight for adults. Active individuals and athletes may need 1.2-2.0g per kg. A typical protein powder serving provides 20-25g protein. Spread protein intake throughout the day for optimal absorption.
