  1. @ursulaserle7919 Pea protein is an extracted protein made in the lab, and is high in glutamate. Not having an insensitivity to glutamate (essentially msg), is why you have no problem with your pea protein supplement. The reason that whey protein gave you stomach cramps was not its glutamate level. It was probably the lactose in the Whey protein, not its glutamate content, causing your gut issues. Both pea & whey protein isolates have roughly the same glutamic acid profile, with Whey having about a 7/10's of a percentage point higher glutamate profile than pea protein - basically a negligible difference. For a person who has a sensitivity to glutamate both whey & pea protein isolates would be problematic. Pea protein is about 25% less bio-absorbable than whey protein. So, it's not as hypertrophic (muscle-building) as supplementing with Whey protein. Also, whey protein's Leucine profile, per-serving, compared to Pea, is about two-thirds higher. That tells us that for the mTOR pathway ( for muscle protein synthesis & muscle building) Whey protein is the better choice, over Pea protein. Pea protein is a good 2nd choice, though, to whey protein for those who have a lactose sensitivity and resulting gut issues with trying to digest a whey protein isolate (due to its lactose content)

  2.  @Liketolearn123  good point🖕 Imo, it's a crap protein source, compared to whey. But I guess it can substitute for those who find whey untenable.
