Do you know the top 5 sources of plant protein?

The role of protein in the daily diet is extremely important for maintaining varied nutrition and optimal health. Protein is primarily a building block of muscle tissue, which enables growth and maintenance of the current muscle mass. Moreover, it supports the maintenance of healthy bone condition and provides the body with essential amino acids, which, among other things, affect the protection of these muscles against unwanted breakdown reactions resulting from intensive physical activity.

The common myth of higher quality of animal proteins (e.g. whey, eggs, meat) has already been disproved. In practice, plant proteins are an equally effective source of essential nutrients and many valuable amino acids. It is often mentioned that vegans and vegetarians have much more difficulty in building muscle mass or developing an athletic body shape, which is obviously not true. By choosing the right products with high protein content, you can provide your body with the necessary conditions to build solid muscles. Which plant protein sources turn out to be the best choice? Here are the 5 most valuable foods that should be included in your daily diet:

• soy
• nuts
• wild rice
• pumpkin seeds (and other seeds)
• peas (and other legumes such as beans)

However, it is worth remembering that the level of bioavailability of the contained proteins makes it impossible to assimilate the full content of those proteins. Therefore, it is worthwhile to enrich your daily diet with additional support in the form of high-protein supplements, which can serve as an attractive alternative for your menu.

Can supplements be counted among the best sources of plant protein?

The Olimp Sport Nutrition brand offers high-quality products that can be used as an additional source of plant protein in your daily diet. All supplements have been produced from ingredients tested for microbiological purity. In addition, the products for vegans and vegetarians produced in the modern laboratories of the Olimp Laboratories pharmaceutical company have been devoid of animal-based ingredients, which gives the certainty with regard to the best products that meet the necessary standards, including their safety.

Veggie Protein Complex is a unique combination of high-quality proteins obtained from wild rice, pumpkin seeds and peas, which is provided in the form of easily soluble powder (available in natural or chocolate taste). Each serving supplements the diet with 20 g of complete proteins, which will support the growth and maintenance of your muscle mass. In turn, Sojavit 85 is a very good source of soy protein in the form of a highly absorbable isolate (SPI), which has been enriched with lecithin and L-carnitine.
