Tolerance to vegan protein powders will vary between all individuals. However, they are generally well tolerated amongst the plant-based community. That being said, vegan protein powders can potentially result in constipation in some individuals, mainly if they are not balanced with sufficient dietary fiber and hydration in their diet. For these individuals, to avoid constipation, it is important that they aim for a well-balanced vegan diet with enough fiber from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while staying adequately hydrated. If constipation persists, consult one of our plant-based registered dietitians for personalized guidance.
Yes, vegan protein powders can potentially lead to diarrhea in some individuals, particularly if they have sensitivities or allergies to specific ingredients in the powder.
