Pea Protein Isolate
Plant-based protein from yellow split peas with a complete amino acid profile (though lower in methionine). Hypoallergenic alternative to dairy and soy proteins with intermediate digestion speed.
Projected serum levels — 25 g (≈ 25k mg), once daily
Maintenance schedule: 25 g (≈ 25k mg) once daily (oral).
Modeled steady state after ~1 days: peak ≈ 17.0k mg, trough ≈ 874 mg body load. Population-based estimate over 15 days for a reference dose at a 70 kg reference body mass — the interactive app scales curves to your doses, timing, and body mass.

Pea proteins oral supplementation promotes muscle thickness gains during resistance training: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial vs. whey protein
In 161 males over 12 weeks of resistance training, pea protein produced similar muscle thickness gains to whey protein, both significantly greater than placebo.
