Hormone-Safe Plant Protein Audit

Label checklist

• Demand COA access and third-party heavy metal testing
• Confirm country of origin for each ingredient
• Aim for PDCAAS ≥0.9 or DIAAS ≥100 if you’re chasing hypertrophy

Anti-nutrient mitigation

Choose sprouted or fermented blends to slash phytic acid and tannins. Pair shakes with digestive bitters or bromelain if bloating lingers.

Rotation planner

Cycle between pea/pumpkin, rice/chia, and algae-based powders every 8–12 weeks. Track skin, digestion, and energy inside a simple spreadsheet.

Field note: Add 500 mg calcium-d-glucarate when running higher-dose phytoestrogen blends to keep detox pathways clear.
