Plant Protein

Protein intake from food and protein supplements should range from 1.2g/kg to 1.4 g/kg to 1.7 g/kg per day. To get your weight in kilograms (kg), take your weight in pounds and divide by 2.2, then multiply that number by 1.2, 1.4, or 1.7. The answer you get is the number of grams of protein you should aim for daily. Use the lowest amount (1.2) on non-workout or easy/low intensity days, use the middle amount (1.4) for periods of periods when you increase training volume and intensity, and use the highest amount (1.7) during your peak volume training and racing season.

EXAMPLE:
• 180 lb. person = 81.82 kg.
• 81.82 x 1.2 = 98 grams of protein daily
• 81.82 x 1.4 = 114.5 grams of protein daily
• 81.82 x 1.7 = 139 grams of protein daily

The process has already been started, and we hope to have Kosher certification by March 2026, if not sooner.

You could, but you will first need to add 6 grams of glutamine powder to Plant Protein, as it contains none while Whey Protein contains 6 grams per serving. It is the amino acid glutamine that is responsible for the maximal increase in human growth hormone (hGH) levels. One nutritional scientist writes, "Glutamine has been observed to raise serum hGH 430% above sedentary values. During sleep, 85% of hGH is released, and the 6 grams of glutamine in each serving of Hammer Whey are adequate to cross blood brain barrier to raise nocturnal release of hGH."

Secondly, in order to effectively elevate hGH levels, minimal-to-no carbohydrates should be consumed; carbohydrates blunt natural hGH release. Each scoop of Unflavored Hammer Whey contains no carbohydrates, all flavored versions of Hammer Whey contain 1.0 to 1.5 grams of carbohydrates per scoop, while all flavors of Hammer Plant Protein contain 5 grams of carbohydrates in each scoop. That may not sound like a very wide gap, but it's enough to make a difference when the goal is maximizing hGH release.
