Frequently Asked Questions
What makes The Func. Lab Plant Protein different? ›
Our plant proteins are formulated for performance and purity. With ~28–29g of protein per 35g scoop, natural digestive enzymes, and zero fillers, gums, or added sugar, it’s protein that delivers—cleanly and completely. We don’t use blends that dilute quality or sneak in hidden sugars. Every ingredient serves a function.
What kind of protein do you use? ›
We use a 98% Pea Protein Isolate and 2% Rice Protein blend. This combo ensures a complete amino acid profile, supporting recovery, muscle growth, and daily health—without soy or dairy.
Is it lactose-free and safe for people with dairy allergies? ›
Yes. Our plant protein is 100% dairy-free and lactose-free, making it ideal for those with lactose intolerance, dairy sensitivities, or those following a vegan diet.
Is it safe for kids? ›
Yes, in moderation. While primarily designed for adults, active teens and children (under parental guidance) can safely consume our plant protein, especially if they have increased protein needs or dietary gaps.
Is it safe to consume during pregnancy? ›
We use clean, natural ingredients. However, if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, we recommend consulting your doctor before starting any supplement, including plant protein.
What is the protein-to-calorie ratio? ›
Our scoops deliver 27–29g protein with just ~132–135 kcal, giving you one of the highest protein-per-calorie efficiencies in the market—80–86% of calories from protein.
Are your plant proteins third-party tested? ›
Yes. All our products undergo rigorous third-party testing for quality, purity, and heavy metal safety. We’re committed to full transparency.
Is it easy to digest? ›
Absolutely. We add bromelain and papain, two natural digestive enzymes, to support better digestion and minimize bloating—especially helpful for people switching from dairy proteins.
Is it safe to drink every day? ›
Yes. You can consume it daily to meet your protein needs—whether you’re an athlete, a gym-goer, or simply working on better nutrition.
When is the best time to take plant protein? ›
You can have it post-workout, as a meal replacement, in smoothies, or between meals—whenever your body needs a protein boost. It is safe to take alongside other supplements.
Can I use this for muscle gain or weight loss? ›
Yes to both. It supports lean muscle growth, improves satiety, and has no added sugar, making it ideal for weight management too.
Are there any sweeteners used? ›
Yes, in our flavored variants (Vanilla, Chocolate, Coffee), we use monk fruit and stevia—natural, low-glycemic sweeteners that don’t spike blood sugar or upset the gut.
What’s the difference between the flavored and unflavored versions? ›
- Unflavored: No added sweeteners or flavors. Ideal for cooking, baking, or smoothies where you want full control over taste.
- Flavored: Naturally flavored and sweetened for better taste with no artificial junk.
Is it suitable for people with dietary restrictions? ›
Yes. Our plant protein is:
- 100% vegan
- Gluten-free
- Soy-free
- Dairy-free
- Free of emulsifiers, gums, and fillers
How does it compare to whey protein? ›
While whey has a slightly higher PDCAAS, our plant protein delivers a gut-friendly, clean alternative with complete amino acid support, natural enzymes, and no bloating or dairy discomfort.
