Ethos Score

64/ 100

Score is computed from explicit research inputs using the Ethos Score V1 methodology.

The Takeaway

Plant-based protein blend (pea, pumpkin, sunflower). Good amino acid profile for a plant blend; evidence base is strong for pea protein specifically.

Best For

  • • Vegans and plant-based users who want a complete amino acid profile
  • • People avoiding dairy-based proteins

Watch Out For

  • • Plant protein blends have slightly less favorable leucine content vs. whey — relevant for post-exercise muscle protein synthesis
  • • No independent sport certification
