Best Vegan Protein as judged by us here at Whey It Up!
Strom – NiHPRO Hydrolysed Protein Isolate
Strom continue their protein revolution (a “prolution” if you will… No? Me neither) by using NiHPRO; an ultra pure vegan protein that closely mimics the amino profile of whey by using Molecular Protein Infusion (MPI) technology.
Strom is also the only UK based brand to use the ingredient Velocitol in their protein range of VelosiWhey, VelosiWhey Iso and now NiHPRO. Velocitol is a patented ingredient comprising of amylopectin (a type of carbohydrate) and chromium and has been shown to increase the rate of muscle protein synthesis.
From the Strom website: “Hydrolyzed NiHPRO®︎ Protein Isolate is an innovative branded protein ingredient boasting a superior Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) of 1︎.0︎0︎ and a Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) of 1︎.1︎6︎. In comparison, whey protein concentrate (WPC8︎0︎) has a DIAAS of 0︎.9︎7︎, while whey protein isolate (WPI) scores 1︎.0︎9︎. Many vegetable protein sources score significantly lower, with soy protein, for instance, achieving a DIAAS of only 0︎.9︎1︎.”
