Pea-free protein powder

Which types of protein powder are estrogen-free?

An estrogen-free diet focuses on minimizing the consumption of foods that contain estrogen or compounds that mimic estrogen in the body.

While it is impossible to completely eliminate the consumption of estrogen or estrogen-like compounds due to their presence in many foods and the environment, certain dietary choices can significantly reduce your intake.

Whey and casein protein powders, which are derived from milk, may contain trace amounts of hormones, including estrogen, but the levels are typically negligible.

Apart from dairy-based protein powders, protein powders do not contain estrogen, but may contain phytoestrogens, which mimic or modulate estrogen activity in the body.

Phytoestrogens are not harmful to most people when consumed in moderation, but individuals with hormone-sensitive conditions (like certain breast cancers) should consult a healthcare provider before consuming foods, beverages, or supplements high in phytoestrogens.

Soy protein powder contains the highest levels of phytoestrogens, specifically isoflavones, which are the most potent type of phytoestrogens.

Most other plant-based protein powders contain some phytoestrogens, but it is hard to say how much because the levels can vary depending on the growth conditions and other factors.

Animal-based protein powders like egg white protein powder and collagen protein powder do not contain estrogen or phytoestrogens, unless they contain soy and dairy-based additives like soy lecithin and sodium caseinate.

That said, not all estrogen-free protein powders are created equal.

What is the best estrogen-free protein powder?

The type of protein is not the only thing that can affect your estrogen levels. You also have to take into consideration the other ingredients in your protein powder.

Avoid food additives

Regularly eating emulsifiers, thickeners, and other additives canalter the composition of your gut microbiome – the collection of microorganisms living in your gut.

This can lead to gut dysbiosis, or an imbalance in gut bacteria, which been linked to estrogen-driven diseases like endometriosis.

This link involves the estrobolome, the bacteria in your gut that help you metabolize estrogen. When gut dysbiosis occurs, the balance of bacteria in the estrobolome are altered, leading to hormone imbalances.

Here is a list of the most common food additives in protein supplements:

  • acacia fiber
  • acacia gum
  • acesulfame potassium
  • artificial flavors
  • ascorbic acid
  • aspartame
  • calcium carbonate
  • carrageenan
  • cellulose gum
  • dextrin
  • dicalcium phosphate
  • dipotassium phosphate
  • erythritol
  • gellan gum
  • guar gum
  • gum arabic
  • inulin
  • locust bean gum
  • maltitol
  • maltodextrin
  • mono- and diglycerides
  • ‘natural’ flavors
  • rice bran extract
  • rice dextrin
  • rice hulls
  • rosemary extract
  • silica
  • silicon dioxide
  • sodium alginate
  • soluble corn fiber
  • sorbitol
  • soy lecithin
  • sucralose
  • sunflower lecithin
  • tocopherols
  • tricalcium phosphate
  • xanthan gum
  • xylitol
  • zinc oxide

Avoid protein concentrates and isolates

Most protein powders are made from protein concentrates and isolates, which have been mechanically and or chemically stripped of everything but the protein, including the enzymes, fiber, and other natural digestive aids that help you break them down.

As a result, they can cause digestive issues and possibly even disruptions to the composition of your gut microbiome. Once again, changes to the composition of your gut microbiome can disrupt estrogen homeostasis and lead to a number of health issues.

Verified Purchase I've tried other protein powders and they all upset my stomach. Drink Wholesome doesn't and is a super great way to get more protein in my diet. My favorite flavors are Chocolate and Peanut Butter. Sometimes I mix them together. Toss in a blender with some almond milk and ice and you have a refreshing and wholesome drink!
