Prae,Canadian Protein just advertised these vegan proteins,hemp and brown rice are two.Do these neep supplementation with leucine for instance.Wouldn't these elicit less insulin response than whey?

I prefer whey as it is the best absorbed and the most complete. There are tonnes of studies backing this up as well. Generally vegetarian and vegan proteins are not complete unless specific aminos are added. As for insulin response all protein does illicit a response and it is quite negligible compared to carbs for instance. It is enough to drive nutrients into the cells ie if you were eating keto etc.
