Digestibility: Soy Still on Top

It’s not just about how much protein you consume—but how well your body can absorb it. Soy protein scores highly on the PDCAAS scale (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score), indicating excellent digestibility and bioavailability. It’s also gentle on the stomach, making it ideal for daily use.

Pea protein offers moderate digestibility and is generally well tolerated, especially for those with food sensitivities. Almond protein, due to its higher fat and fiber content, tends to have lower absorption rates and is less efficient as a standalone protein source.
