The Claim
Co-ingestion of a specific probiotic blend with 20 grams of pea protein increases plasma concentrations of methionine by 16–20% and total essential amino acids by 16–16% in healthy young men.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When healthy young men consume 20 grams of pea protein with a specific probiotic blend, their blood levels of methionine rise by 16–20% and their total essential amino acids rise by 16–16%.
See the scientific wording
Co-ingestion of a specific probiotic blend with 20 grams of pea protein increases plasma concentrations of methionine by 16–20% and total essential amino acids by 16–16% in healthy young men, potentially mitigating the inherent methionine deficiency of plant-based proteins without requiring increased protein intake.
Specific bacteria in the gut break down pea protein into smaller pieces and free amino acids, allowing the intestines to absorb more methionine and other essential amino acids into the blood.
What the research says
1 studyTaking this specific probiotic with pea protein helps the body absorb more of the important amino acids like methionine, making the plant protein work better without needing to eat more of it.
