The weight does not. Those macros account for 25.5 g of a 34.7 g serving, and the panel does not say what the other 9 g or so is. 20 g of protein in 34.7 g of powder is about \u003cstrong\u003e58% protein by weight\u003c\/strong\u003e, lower than our whey, which is normal for a flavoured plant blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe panel gives no split between the fava bean isolate and the yeast protein, no amino acid profile and no leucine figure. On a plant protein that last gap matters more than it does on a whey, and it is not there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing before you buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy two sources rather than one: legume proteins, fava included, are typically lower in the sulphur amino acids methionine and cysteine, and yeast protein is commonly paired with a legume for exactly that reason. That is the logic of the blend, and it is a sound one. What we cannot do is show you it working, because the panel prints no amino acid profile and no ratio between the two ingredients. The idea is on the label. The numbers that would demonstrate it are not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e20 g is a real serving. Research on protein per meal generally works in the region of 20 to 40 g, so this sits at the bottom of that band rather than under it. Plant proteins are usually lower in leucine than whey gram for gram, which is the argument for taking a slightly larger serving of a plant powder — and with no leucine figure on this panel there is no way to tell you how much larger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth protein sources are non-animal. The panel carries no vegan certification and prints no full ingredient list, so if certification matters to you, check the physical label rather than trusting this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne caution that belongs up here rather than only at the bottom: this is a fava bean product, and people with G6PD deficiency — favism — are advised to avoid fava beans. If that applies to you, this is the wrong tub.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to take it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo scoops (34.7 g) in water or a plant milk, once a day. Twenty-four servings in the tub, so one a day is 24 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOther ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe panel names the two protein sources — Tendra Fava Bean Protein Isolate and YESTEIN fermented yeast protein — and prints no full other-ingredients list and no allergen statement. There is no capsule, so there is no gelatin question. It contains \u003cstrong\u003efava bean\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eyeast\u003c\/strong\u003e. No milk, egg, fish or shellfish ingredient is named, but with no allergen statement printed we cannot tell you what is in the flavouring or whether it is made on shared equipment. If you have any food allergy, read the physical label before you use this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCautions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you have G6PD deficiency, fava beans are on the list of foods you are told to avoid — do not take this without speaking to your doctor. Fava bean allergy exists, and legume allergies can cross-react, so if you react to peanuts, peas, lentils or soy, treat this with care. If you avoid yeast for any reason, this contains it. Concentrated protein powders are worth clearing with your doctor first if you have kidney or liver disease, since 20 g a serving counts towards your daily protein total. Protein taken at the same time as levodopa reduces its absorption, so separate them by a couple of hours. Keep out of the reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing. Store in a cool, dry place. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If you are pregnant, nursing, under 18, taking prescription medication or living with a medical condition, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before starting this or any supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eThese statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
