Peas

Soy or pea protein demonstrated improvements in subjective recovery outcomes and reductions in muscle damage biomarkers following resistance exercise.

Well-formulated plant protein blends (combinations of pea, rice, and canola) stimulate muscle protein synthesis at levels comparable to whey when consumed at adequate doses (≥30 g with ~2.5 g leucine).

Nasal spray corticosteroids were more effective than palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) supplementation in reducing COVID-19-related olfactory dysfunction duration.

Digestibility of protein blends containing different ratios of animal and plant proteins (casein/soy, whey/casein/soy/pea, casein/whey) showed no significant differences in older men.

Trigonelline, 3-methylhistidine, dimethylglycine, trimethylamine, and lysine demonstrated different excretion patterns among different pulses (white beans, chickpeas, and lentils) over a 48-hour period.
