Soy protein is considered to be the best form of plant-based protein, as evidenced by its rich aminograms. It is noteworthy that it has a high content of arginine, an exogenous amino acid responsible for effects such as muscle pump and post-traumatic regeneration stimulation. However, when it comes to soy protein supplementation, studies show that despite consuming similar calories and proteins during resistance training, daily soy supplementation is more effective than with protein or controlled carbohydrates in promoting lean body weight gain.
