WHEY PROTEIN VS. PEA PROTEIN
There are various forms of supplemental protein that people use in their diets. There are two different proteins: pea and whey protein. Pea protein is a plant-based source of protein and strictly vegan.
Whey protein, on the other hand, uses animal products and contains dairy. If you're looking for a plant-based diet that uses eco-friendly ingredients, then stick with pea protein!
