Apparently the animal protein has less lead.

    it also depends on the exercise and your goals. they aren't equivalent.

    I am a distance cyclist. animal protein works better for recovery for me than plant protein. I have tried both.

    I am not trying to build muscle. I am trying to recover from endurance efforts. whey protein cuts my recovery time down by almost a full day vs plant protein.
