Why it’s used

Taken as a plant-based alternative to dairy or soy protein, primarily to increase daily protein intake.

What the evidence says

This says what this database holds under these terms. It is not a finding that no research exists.

Context

Amino acid profile differs somewhat from animal proteins, notably in methionine content, though this has not been shown to meaningfully affect outcomes in the limited research available.
