Protein provides the building blocks for all tissues, via its amino acid constituents. After intense training, our muscle needs to be repaired and rebuilt, as well as our connective tissue such as tendons and ligaments.
Rice protein provides a convenient, high-quality source of protein and essential amino acids. The rice grain is ground into a powder and enzymatically separates the protein from carbohydrates. This process removes compounds called “anti-nutrients” which would otherwise impede digestion and absorption (Source: NCBI). However, due to processing, there is an increase in the digestibility and essential amino acid concentration compared to rice consumed in wholefood form (Source: NCBI).
This premium range of rice protein powders come in three delicious flavours: chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. And better yet, they are sweetened using only the natural sweetener stevia.
Key Health Aspects of Rice Protein
It’s hard to find rice protein that checks all the boxes….
Provides 30 grams of high-quality protein per 40 gram serving
Hypoallergenic - gluten, soy & dairy free.
No artificial sweetener, fillers or unnecessary ingredients.
Compact and portable source of high-quality protein.
Can be as good as whey for stimulating muscle growth (Source: NCBI)
Plant-based protein sources can often times be a source of confusion. Looking at the research, both animal and human research, it has been demonstrated plant-based proteins can be as effective as animal proteins (when leucine is matched) in stimulating the muscle-building machinery (Source: NCBI & NCBI).
Consuming a plant-based diet can make it more difficult to meet protein requirements, although there are many benefits shown in research to consuming a high protein diet, where a rice protein supplement can contribute….
Helps manage hunger, meaning a quicker sense of fullness (Source: NCBI)
Helps preserve muscle mass, especially during low-calorie intake (Source: NCBI)
