Organic Protein
What this means
Elite efficiency — 40%+ of calories from protein. Lean meat, whey isolate, low-fat dairy. 56% density puts this in the Platinum tier.
Pea isolate is effectively complete (low methionine but adequate) — counts toward the target.
Note: At 1.64g leucine per single scoop, this product sits below the 2.5g threshold needed to maximally trigger muscle protein synthesis in one serving. Common workarounds: use 1.5 scoops, or combine with another protein source in the same meal (e.g., Greek yogurt, eggs). More on the leucine threshold.
vs Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard (whey reference)
| Metric | Organic Protein | Gold Standard (reference) | Δ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein / serving | 21g | 24g | -3g |
| Leucine | 1.64g | 2.5g | -0.86g |
| Density | 56% | 80.0% | -24% |
| MPS trigger at 1 scoop? | No | Yes |
Notes
USDA Organic. Pea + brown rice + chia blend. Notably lower protein-to-calorie ratio than dedicated sport plant powders — Gold tier (~56% density), not Platinum. Leucine estimated; well below MPS trigger at 1 scoop.
