Rice protein

Rice protein is a purely vegetable protein that is usually made from brown rice, also known as "brown rice". Brown rice is characterized by the fact that, in contrast to white rice, which has been hulled and the rice germ removed, it contains many more healthy vital substances such as vitamins and minerals and minerals. Rice protein is one of the highest quality vegetable proteins, as it contains all the essential amino acids in sufficient quantities and has an excellent amino acid profile, which is often compared to the amino acid profile of human breast milk, to which it is quite similar. As rice protein is relatively tasteless, it can be added to a variety of dishes and also tastes great as a flavored protein powder.

Rice protein is not only one of the best sources of protein for vegans who consciously choose not to consume animal products, but is also becoming increasingly popular with non-vegans due to its numerous benefits.

What are the benefits of rice protein?

Rice protein is particularly rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and is therefore a good choice for athletes and bodybuilders. Compared to whey protein, which is known to be particularly rich in BCAAs, rice protein contains even higher amounts of the branched-chain amino acids isoleucine and valine, while the leucine content is only slightly lower than that of whey protein.

As rice protein contains no soy, wheat, gluten or lactose, it is ideal for people who are allergic to soy or wheat products or suffer from gluten or lactose intolerance.

What makes rice protein so healthy?

Rice protein is much more than just another protein supplement, which is especially true for rice protein made from wholegrain rice. Whole grain rice protein is rich in vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, C, D, E, folic acid, beta-carotene and biotin and also contains the minerals and trace elements potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, manganese, copper and iodine. The biggest advantage of this natural vitamin and mineral mixture is that the ingredients can be absorbed and utilized much better by your body compared to synthetically produced vitamins and minerals added to other protein supplements. Rice proteins that are produced at low temperatures are of particularly high quality, as this preserves all the vital substances naturally contained in rice protein.

When is the best time to consume rice protein?

As the high proportion of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) suggests, rice protein is ideal for consumption before and after training to speed up the recovery of your muscles and replace the BCAAs used up in muscle tissue during training. The high BCAA content can also be beneficial during a diet, as BCAAs have an anti-catabolic effect and can prevent diet-induced muscle loss. As rice protein is a very high quality complete protein, you can of course also use it at any other time of the day to provide your body with high quality protein and meet your protein requirements.

What are the main benefits of rice protein?

• Excellent for vegetarians and vegans
• High biological value and ideal amino acid profile
• High BCAA content, comparable to whey protein
• Lactose-free and therefore also suitable for people who suffer from lactose intolerance
• Hypoallergenic protein source that is well tolerated by most allergy sufferers

Very rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements with high bioavailability
