That’s just under 70% as much soy is absorbed compared to whey. Secondly soy protein has recently been scientifically proven to lower testosterone levels. Lastly the mix of amino acids in animal products like whey, egg and milk are closer to that of meat proteins because that is where they have come from. The link to Reflex’s information is: http://www.reflex-nutrition.com/research.php and for their info on soy vs whey: http://www.reflex-nutrition.com/faqs.php?faq=soy_protein Personally I use a mix of unflavored pea protein and hemp seed protein which I add to juice. I also use creatine and L-glutamine.
