Proteins are essential nutrients found in healthy and balanced diets (e.g. in meat, fish, eggs, milk, soy, nuts…). The recommended daily allowance of protein for strength athletes ranges between 1.2-1.7g/kg body weight per day.

Physical exercise and in particular strength training results in increased protein breakdown and synthesis. For optimal muscle growth (hypertrophy) and increase in muscle strength after strength training, sufficient protein, and in particular amino acids, must be ingested. Taking 20g of protein immediately after training has been shown to be sufficient for maintaining, recovering and building muscle mass. It is also recommended to spread protein-rich meals throughout the day.

Pea and rice protein are a good lactose-free alternative to whey protein. Both pea and rice proteins are considered high-quality plant-based protein sources. They contain all 9 essential amino acids and are easily digestible. Moreover, pea and rice protein complement each other perfectly in terms of amino acid profile.
