RICE PROTEIN
THE ESSENCE OF PADDY FIELDS
Rice Protein is a great choice as a "vegan lifestyle-friendly" product for those seeking a protein product derived fully from plant sources to achieve their goals, whether it’s maintaining or building muscles. It’s recommended to anyone as an alternative to milk-based proteins, and it’s an especially good choice for those with faster metabolism, because it absorbs more slowly and has higher fibre content than the commonly used whey protein products.

THE BENEFITS OF RICE PROTEIN
Rice protein shakes are considered a new product at the nutritional supplement market. But how are they better than or different from the whey or beef proteins we’ve used so far? Rice protein can be derived from either brown or white rice, by isolating protein from rice. Used as a nutritional supplement, it can enhance the protein content of any food, and it’s also a great alternative to whey for bodybuilders, vegetarians and those suffering from digestive issues. Rice protein contains amino acids, B vitamins, vitamin E, fibres and carbohydrate in a natural form. It doesn’t contain any fat, cholesterol or sugar. Virtually, it can be used unlimitedly by adding it to any food. It also has the great benefit of being hypoallergenic. It means it doesn’t irritate your stomach and digests better than any other protein. Those suffering from digestive issues, such as irritable bowel syndrome, food allergies or from lactose intolerance, have a hard time finding an appropriate source of protein. Rice protein is also a great choice for them.
EXCELLENT AMINO ACID PROFILE
Amino acids are the building blocks of muscles, body tissues, organs, the immune system
and hormones. Rice protein contains all the essential amino acids. They are the amino acids
which your body is incapable of producing by itself, so you need to take them in with foods.
Being a corn derivative, it has a high cysteine and methionine content. It is, therefore, a
great source of protein for building muscles.
A VEGETARIAN PROTEIN SOURCE
Rice protein powder presents a great alternative for vegans
and vegetarians who don't consume any animal protein.
ARE YOU ALLERGIC?
Due to their food allergy, many can’t consume eggs, milk
and soy-based food products. Those sensitive to lactose or milk
must also avoid whey protein and casein. However, they, too,
can consume rice protein, as it is free of gluten and milk.
MUSCLE RECOVERY AND STRENGTH
Muscle structure mostly consists of protein. Intense, regular training causes micro-tears to muscles, whose recovery is the key to development. For that recovery, your body uses the proteins you take in. Studies have already shown that rice protein contributes to muscle mass growth just as effectively as whey. Although rice protein absorbs more slowly, its key component, leucine (the number one amino acid when it comes to building muscles) absorbs faster from rice protein than from whey.
Rice protein during a diet
Proteins are not only important when you want to increase your muscle mass, but also when you want to lose weight. Proteins have a thermogenic effect, and it takes a lot of energy to digest them, so you will use more energy during the day if you take in more protein. Rice protein shake powder is again a great choice, as it’s an excellent alternative for a dessert, only without the weight gain.
Blood sugar levels
There’s another aspect why daily protein intake is important. Carbohydrates, especially simple carbohydrates, cause blood sugar levels to rise, to which your body responds by producing insulin. Insulin transports blood sugar into the cells, thus reducing blood sugar levels. At the same time, the sugar transported into the cells will most probably increase your body fat, as it's an excess you won't be using. However, when combined with protein, your blood sugar level will rise less and you can keep it more steady. Rice protein is also a great solution to that.
