What it is

Soy protein is a protein supplement made from soybeans, which are a type of legume. It is a complete protein, meaning it contains all the essential amino acids (the building blocks of protein) that the human body cannot make on its own.

Why it's used

It is primarily used by people who want to increase their protein intake without eating animal products. It is often used to help build muscle or maintain lean body mass because it is easily digested and absorbed by the body.

How it compares to Plant Protein

While soy protein is a type of plant protein, it differs from many other plant sources like pea or rice protein in its nutritional profile.

FeatureSoy ProteinOther Plant Proteins
Amino Acid ProfileComplete (contains all essential building blocks)Often incomplete (requires mixing sources)
SourceSpecifically from soybeansCan be from peas, rice, hemp, or seeds
Common UseMuscle maintenance and meat alternativesGeneral vegan protein supplementation

How it's made

The process begins by removing the fat from soybeans to create defatted soy flakes. These flakes are then processed using heat and chemicals to separate the protein from the carbohydrates and fibre. Finally, the protein is dried into a powder and often refined into different forms, such as soy protein isolate, which is the purest version.

What it typically costs

This supplement is generally mid-range in price. This is because soybeans are grown in massive quantities globally, making the raw material affordable, but the industrial refining process required to isolate the protein adds to the final cost.
