Rice protein has been on the scene awhile but is going gaining popularity lately with many people opting for a 'cleaner' source of protein than whey. We're here to help you understand a little bit more on rice protein and why you should give it a try.

At over 80% protein per serving, rice protein powder has many benefits for health and fitness, for all diets and lifestyles. Allergen-friendly, this protein is an excellent choice for those with intolerance to dairy, soy and/or gluten.

What is Rice Protein

Rice protein is a plant-based protein isolate that is an alternative to whey and soy protein.

Who is Rice Protein Suitable for?

Just about anyone. It is perfect for vegans and vegetarians. Those with intolerances to dairy, eggs and gluten can also add this to their diet.

What are the Benefits of Rice Protein

1. Allergen-Friendly Some people simply cannot tolerate egg, milk and soy-derived protein due to allergies. Rice protein powder is suitable for almost any user. It is a naturally free of gluten and rye, barley or wheat-derived ingredients that some manufacturers add to powders or products.

2. Vegan-friendly

NUA Naturals rice protein powder provides a great source of dietary protein for vegetarians or vegans. Our rice protein powders contain over 80% protein per serving. Since protein is an essential macro-nutrient often lacking in those who avoid meat, rice protein can help fill the nutritional gap.

3. Excellent Amino Acid Profile Amino acids are essential for our muscles, body tissue, and immune system. Rice protein contains all essential amino acids. Rice protein is especially rich in cystine and methionine. Rice protein has been clinically shown to be as good as whey at building muscle, strength & aiding in exercise recovery.

4. Muscle Recovery & Strength Our muscles need protein to grow and rebuild. While the proteins of brown rice are more slowly digested than whey or egg proteins, brown rice still contains essential amino acids needed to rebuild tissue.

5. Blood Sugar Blood sugar levels will spike in response to carbohydrate based foods thereby causing the pancreas to secrete the hormone insulin to facilitate the storage of circulating nutrients. Large insulin spikes that result from high or simple carbohydrate-containing meals (e.g. white rice, white bread or sweets) may trigger fat storage and may lead to insulin resistance. This can also lead to subsequent drastic drops in blood sugar which result in fatigue. Combining protein with a meal helps to regulate this blood sugar and insulin effect to potentially prevent body fat storage
