WHEY vs SOY

On average, a serving (40g) of Perform contains about 2 g or 2,000 mg of Leucine (Leu)​

​

Research comparing WHEY and SOY has concluded that consuming plant protein can support strength and muscle development comparably to whey protein, when consumed in amounts that provide sufficient leucine 1. ​

​

Isolated Whey Protein (30g) contains approx. 1990mg** of Leucine.  **Dependent on the composition of the whey protein and therefore may vary​

​

• Leucine is one of the 9 EAA and is also a BCAA, essential for muscle growth and repair.​

• Both Whey and the SOY used in Juice Plus+ Products have a PDCASS score of 1.0​
