vegan protein question

[MichaelDuster]

Hi boys, first of all I'm not a vegan, but my local supplement store has a good deal buy 1 get the second one free on the vegan protein powder, I have never taken it before, and I was wondering if it's as good as whey protein or regular protein, before I buy it, thanks.

In a word - no. Veg and or vegan proteins (unless 'vegan friendly') tend to miss out on being complete proteins.

you dont have to take a protein powder to succeed in fitness or bodybuilding etc. i haven't taken one in 20+ years and im still alive.

if you insist on protein shakes then you look at the ingredients.. just cause it says vegan on it doesn't mean anything except that it doesn't contain animal products. it could have a shitload of sugar, that is vegan right? we actually had a podcast about this
