A short excerpt from a YouTube video in which Robert Whitfield MD and another speaker discuss challenges with vegan and vegetarian patients not getting enough protein for recovery. Whitfield recommends vegan amino acid supplements and a pea-protein–based product as his preferred protein source.
I think for us, our biggest challenge, not patient population here in L. A is I have a lot of, like, vegan vegetarian patients who just don't get enough protein. And so I can't imagine that must be a challenge for you just in terms of recovery. You need protein.
For us, the way we've tried to navigate that is the amino acids are vegan, basically, and the, the protein source that we prefer to use is, in my line is based on pea protein. So I've tried to. And for everybody listening, I, you know, I, I do this just like Dutch.
