What does PDCAAS take into account?

PDCAAS, or Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score, takes into account both the amino acid profile of a protein and its digestibility. It evaluates how well a protein meets human amino acid requirements by comparing its amino acid composition to a reference pattern, while also factoring in how easily the protein can be digested and absorbed by the body. This scoring system is often used to assess the quality of protein sources in food products.
