i am veggie so don't really want to have whey protien as on the ingredients list is some cow (bovine extract has anyone experience with soy protien and is it just as good, as i think i need to start supplementing protien after workouts/races for improved recovery (as i have seen is suggested quite alot at BT)

thanks

andy

I have done both and ended up preferring the soy protein, ended up tasting a bit better and seemed to give the same values and results.

I also use soy protein (vegetarian too!).  I like it and think the results are great!  Plenty of energy and I get those amino acids too.

There's a good article in the latest Triathlete magazine on proteins. One important note I read was that plant based sources are lacking in some of the essential proteins and must be combined correctly to ensure that a balanced essential protein amino acid intake is made.

It would be good if they did a follow up article focused for veggies.
