Dr. Andrew Lipton answered

Protein supplements: Any protein can support muscle growth. There are many sources of protein supplements besides whey. Protein from diet will work as well as supplements with vegetarian protein, pea protein, soy protein, rice protein etc. Your selection depends on preference.
