Sport Premium Protein
What this means
Elite efficiency — 40%+ of calories from protein. Lean meat, whey isolate, low-fat dairy. 70.6% density puts this in the Platinum tier.
Pea isolate is effectively complete (low methionine but adequate) — counts toward the target.
Note: At 2.34g 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.

Notes
Pea + pumpkin + sunflower + alfalfa blend, 5g BCAAs and 5g glutamine added. NSF Certified for Sport. Leucine estimated from pea-dominant blend (8.2%) — slightly under MPS trigger at 1 scoop; vegan athletes often dose 1.5 scoops.
