Hi

I believe that hemp protein is better for you. Whey is dairy dreggs and fresh soy is good but processed soy is not that good.

Whey is generally the best as far as bioavailability, somewhere in the upper 90% range (and isolated whey, or whey protein isolate is more refined and better for those who are lactose intolerant as virtually all of the lactose has be removed) while so while soy proteins are in the 70% range, IIRC. I don't know where the hemp protein fits in as that's somewhat newer and trendier.

There are a lot of opinions on protein. Whey is "better," IMO, but here's my abbreviated take on protein sources:

  • Chicken and egg whites should be your primary sources from food.
  • Throw in some red meat, fish, seafood and related a couple of times a week for the iron, fish oils, etc.
  • Soy if fine, but limit intake because it can mimic estrogen.
  • For supplements, try and find a good whey power protein that consists of high quality 100% whey protein isolates.
  • If you're into working out, add a slow-digesting casein protein drink before and/or after bed to help keep your body from using your muscle as food.
