Plant-based proteins have lower bioavailability and a lower quantity of essential amino acids like leucine, lysine, and methionine compared to animal-based proteins.

“if you're eating un if you're getting a reasonable amount of your protein in uh In from from Plants you're getting a lower bioavailable amino acid you're also not getting the same quantity of Lucine lysine and methionine which are probably the three most important amino acids”

“he mentioned that plant protein is specifically low in lysine and methionine and so if you're going to eat plant protein you're going to have to probably look for ways to supplement those if you want to maximize muscle protein synthesis”

“has been done for uh some proteins like uh wheed protein soy protein a lot PE protein uh about five different proteins that that we and others have actually assessed and then some of them actually some of these studies show a lesser capacity to stimulate muscle protein synthesis when compared to an equivalent amount of mostly Dairy protein that might be attributed to the fact that there's less Lucine less essential amino acids and sometimes most of the plant-based proteins are deficient in one of more specific amino acids that's often methionine and lysine”
