When it comes to plant-based protein powders, the top contenders are usually soy, pea, and almond protein. While all three are popular, their nutritional content and digestibility vary significantly. Here’s a closer look at why soy protein stands out—and why we’ve made it the core of our formulation.

1. Protein Content: Soy Takes the Lead

If you're aiming for high protein density, soy protein is the clear winner. It contains up to 90% pure protein per 100 grams, making it one of the most concentrated sources of plant-based protein available. Even more importantly, soy is a complete protein, meaning it contains all 9 essential amino acids your body needs to build and repair muscle. Pea protein comes in second with about 80% protein content. While rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), it lacks methionine, an essential amino acid. Almond protein, on the other hand, contains only about 50–60% protein and is better suited as a supplementary ingredient rather than a primary source. 

2. 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.

3. Why We Chose Soy Protein

At YUACHIEVE, we didn’t settle for a plant-based alternative—we chose a nutritional upgrade. Our soy protein isolate delivers uncompromising quality in protein content, amino acid profile, and absorption.

4. With soy protein, you get:

1.  Up to 90% protein concentration per serving
2. A complete amino acid profile to support muscle growth and recovery
3. Superior digestibility for real nutritional impact
4. A clean, plant-based source free from lactose, dairy, and bloating

We believe plant-based nutrition shouldn’t be just “good enough”—it should be something you’re proud to choose every day. YUACHIEVE High-Performance Soy Protein is designed to power your lifestyle with clean, complete, and effective nutrition. No compromises. Just results.
