The Claim
In healthy young males, consuming 0.25 g/kg fat-free mass of whey protein leads to higher circulating amino acid concentrations compared to equivalent doses of cricket or pea protein following resistance exercise, indicating greater amino acid bioavailability from whey protein in this population.
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.
If young, healthy guys work out and then drink a whey protein shake based on their lean body weight, their bodies will absorb more amino acids than if they drank the same amount of cricket or pea protein.

In healthy young males, ingestion of 0.25 g/kg fat-free mass of whey protein results in higher circulating amino acid concentrations compared to equivalent doses of cricket or pea protein after resistance exercise, suggesting greater amino acid bioavailability from whey in this population.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that after exercise, young men who drank whey protein had more amino acids in their blood than those who drank cricket or pea protein, which supports the idea that whey delivers more usable protein to the body.
