HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vegan True Vegantein Complete by Source Naturals
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Vegan True Vegantein Complete contains 4 active ingredients: sodium, pea seed protein concentrate, brown rice protein concentrate, and white rice protein concentrate. The three protein sources are plant-based options designed to provide amino acids — pea and brown rice are the ones we have data on.
The product has no inactive ingredients listed. This is a protein powder, so you're getting a blend of plant proteins plus a modest amount of dietary sodium from the formula.
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
For the protein ingredients in this product, the evidence isn't established. Pea protein and brown rice protein both show insufficient evidence for diabetes, muscle soreness, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other conditions listed.
Brown rice protein is possibly effective for food allergies — one of the few rated uses we have data on. The other ingredients' effectiveness for weight gain, muscle building, or general nutrition isn't addressed in our data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Pea protein and brown rice protein are generally well tolerated as foods and concentrate supplements by most healthy adults. A small number of people with existing food allergies (especially to peanuts, tree nuts, or legumes) have had allergic reactions including anaphylaxis to pea protein, so if you have a known food allergy history, ask your pharmacist before using this product.
Sodium is essential in small amounts, but too much is linked to high blood pressure and heart strain. The amount in this product is moderate, but if you're watching your sodium intake — especially if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, or kidney disease — you should be cautious.
Normal dietary sodium is fine, but avoid sodium supplements or very high intake without medical advice. Pregnancy and breastfeeding data for the protein concentrates isn't established; there isn't enough information to know if they're safe, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check before you start if you take blood pressure medications (ACE inhibitors or other antihypertensives) — sodium may reduce their effectiveness. Also double-check if you're on lithium, corticosteroids, didanosine (Videx), sodium phosphate bowel-prep solutions, tolvaptan (Samsca), or any other sodium-containing drugs.
We could not check white rice protein for interactions.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This is a plant-based protein powder that works well for most people without food allergies. The main caution is sodium — if you take blood pressure medication, lithium, or corticosteroids, check your medications with the tool on this page first.
Pregnant or breastfeeding? Ask your pharmacist before you start.
For general muscle support and protein intake in healthy adults without those concerns, it's a straightforward option.

Vegan True Vegantein Complete by Source Naturals Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Vegan True Vegantein Complete by Source Naturals contains sodium, which interacts with several medication types.
The most serious concern is with blood pressure medications (ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and other antihypertensives). High sodium intake can reduce how well these drugs work, potentially making it harder to control your blood pressure.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Sodium in this product may also interact with corticosteroids, lithium, didanosine (an HIV medication), sodium phosphate bowel-prep solutions, tolvaptan, and other sodium-containing drugs — all rated Moderate severity. The main risk is high sodium levels in your blood (hypernatremia), especially if you're already taking medicines that affect sodium balance.
Brown rice protein may theoretically lower blood pressure further when combined with ACE inhibitors, though this hasn't been proven in humans yet.
We couldn't check white rice protein for interactions — no data is on file for it. Pea seed protein shows no known interactions in our data.
Altogether, these interactions span 203 individual medications.
If you take any blood pressure medication, lithium, corticosteroids, or an HIV or heart medication, run this product through the checker below with your exact prescriptions before you start.

For each ingredient in Vegan True Vegantein Complete with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Sodium
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, a high intake of dietary sodium might reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs.
High intake of dietary sodium can increase systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Also, high intake of sodium may necessitate increased use of antihypertensive medications to achieve blood pressure control in some patients, such as those with chronic kidney disease.
Corticosteroids
Concomitant use of mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids (corticosteroids) cause sodium retention. This effect is dose-related and depends on mineralocorticoid potency. It is most common with hydrocortisone, cortisone, and fludrocortisone, followed by prednisone and prednisolone.
Didanosine (Videx)
Concomitant use of didanosine with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Didanosine formulations contain a significant amount of sodium.
Lithium
Altering dietary intake of sodium might alter the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
High sodium intake can reduce plasma concentrations of lithium by increasing lithium excretion. Reducing sodium intake can significantly increase plasma concentrations of lithium and cause lithium toxicity in patients being treated with lithium carbonate. Stabilizing sodium intake is shown to reduce the percentage of patients with lithium level fluctuations above 0.8 mEq/L. Patients taking lithium should avoid significant alterations in their dietary intake of sodium.
Sodium Phosphates
Theoretically, concomitant use of sodium phosphate with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Use of high doses (> 45 mL in 24 hours) of sodium phosphate, such as those used for bowel cleansing before surgery, can lead to serious electrolyte disturbances, including hypernatremia. The risk of hypernatremia is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.
Sodium-Containing Drugs
Concomitant use of sodium-containing drugs with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia and long-term sodium-related complications.
The Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) intake level of 2.3 grams of sodium daily indicates the intake at which it is believed that chronic disease risk increases for the apparently healthy population. Some medications contain high quantities of sodium. When used in conjunction with sodium supplements or high-sodium diets, the CDRR may be exceeded. Additionally, concomitant use may increase the risk for hypernatremia; this risk is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.
Tolvaptan (Samsca)
Theoretically, concomitant use of tolvaptan with sodium might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Tolvaptan is a vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist that is used to increase sodium levels in patients with hyponatremia. Patients taking tolvaptan should use caution with the use of sodium salts such as sodium chloride.
Brown Rice Protein concentrate
Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)
In laboratory research, hydrolyzed rice protein inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). In animal research, the inhibition of ACE is correlated with a reduction in systolic blood pressure. So far, this effect has not been shown in humans. Theoretically, concomitant use of rice protein and ACE inhibitors may increase the risk of blood pressure becoming too low. Use with caution. ACE inhibitors include benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), moexipril (Univasc), perindopril (Aceon), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril (Altace), and trandolapril (Mavik).
