These are the amino acids in my vegan protein shake, is it complete?
I want to know if my rice protein powder is a complete protein and am hoping someone can help me figure this out. These are the amino acids that are in it:
Alanine
Arginine
Aspartic acid
Cystine
Glutamic acid
Glycine
Histidine*
Isoleucine*
Leucine*
Lysine*
Methionine*
Phenylalanine*
Proline
Serine
Threonine*
Tryptophan*
Tyrosine
Valine*
The ones with stars are essential amino acids. Could someone tell me if this is complete or not?

I have 23 and you only have 18 so you are 5 short
There are are also a vast number of “non-standard” amino acids, so I don’t think ANY protein shake could ever be complete. IF you could afford it!
