Animal vs plant protein for muscle protein synthesis 💪

New meta-analysis provides key insights.

Effects of plant- versus animal-based proteins on muscle protein synthesis

Background

Animal-based protein sources are typically regarded as superior to plant-based protein due to..

👉 Amino acid quality

👉 Amino acid quantity

👉 Improved digestibility

But does this mean they are better for stimulating muscle protein synthesis (MPS)? 🧐
