Looking for a good Non-soy protein powder?

[asteele10]

I have a mild soy allergy. When I drink whey soy protein, my mouth gets irritated bad. What is a good non-soy protein for weight and muscle gain thats not too expensive?

[djchrono]

I'm alittle confused. What do you mean exactly when you say "When I drink whey soy protein"? Whey and soy are two seperate protein sources. Are you using a combination product?

If you are allergic to soy, I would recommend whey protein. Generally, people will recommend whey over soy unless there is a specific reason why someone cannot have whey. Whey does not contain any soy products.

whey protein is the best but if you have a dairy allergy aswell you can try pea protien which i heard is good

I use and love All The Whey's protein blend of concentrate/isolate for $29.99 (5lb) and they sell pure isolate for like 6 bucks more if you have any stomach discomfort. I do not think it contains soy or many other ingredients for that matter, good luck.

That one does not look like it does!

May I ask how you like it in comparison to others? Have you tried others? Feel free to PM is necessary (I do not mean to high-jack the thread)

I did not realize Lecithin was derived from soy. That's good to know. I'm wondering how much is actually present in a whey powder though.. the description does say 'small amounts of soy lecithin'. Could it be enough to aggravate a mild soy allergy?

I had the impression the OP was using something more like an actual soy based protein. OP?

[michael3435]

soy is literally in everything we eat becuase its a cheap alternative to something i can remember lol. oil maybe

[mygame11]

that is not exactly true, there are plenty of foods out there without soy, a lot of people are allergic to it.

Scivation's whey:

Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Isolate, Cocoa Powder (Dutch Process), Natural And Artificial Flavor, Xanthan Gum, Sucralose.

Solid, non-soy protein!
