soy protein

[slair]

hey just wondering if i could get some input from the steroidology communnity about soy protein. Unfortunately....i'm lactose intolerant and whenever i take whey protein i get the shits, stomach rumbling...the whole deal. I recently made the switch to EAS brand soy protein, and no such problems.

My question to some of the veterans out there is if its worth the money? I know whey is superior protein, and some people claim that soy has estrogen-like effects or something. If you were in my shoes, would you bother with soy, or just skip it alltogether?

Soy protein has a lacking amino acid profile (as all plant-based proteins generally do). There are some other options out there if you want a powder with a better aa profile. Muscle Meds makes a beef protein isolate called Carnivor that may be worth checking out. I just picked some up on sale and I'll be trying it out the next couple of weeks.

Soy is a phytoestrogen, I won't touch anything with soy in it with a 10 ft pole.
