Researchers took 44 men and gave either plant-protein or animal-protein supplements for 12 weeks while strength training. There was no statistical difference in muscle strength or mass between groups (www.tandfonline.com)

The study says they sourced their proteins from “Not Company LTDA”, which seems to be Chilean.

Oh, it's so much worse than that - NotCo (the sponsor of the study, not just the source of the protein) is using an LLM to create plant-based alternatives to animal-based foods, such as milk, burgers, and mayonnaise. And just because they're based in Chile, I wouldn't take that to mean that's where the plant protein is coming from, as they're just the "designers" of these foods, not the manufacturers.
