Have you considered incorporating Rice Protein into your diet? Here are three facts that you may want to consider!
1. Rice Protein has been shown to perform as well as Whey
In an 8 week long study, researches at the University of Tampa found that when athletes were given rice protein post-resistance exercise there was a increase in lean body mass, decrease in fat-mass, increase in skeletal muscle growth, as well as enhanced power and strength in ways that were comparable to the results generated by whey protein usage.
2 – Rice Protein can help with the 'tummy' issues whey can cause
Whey protein can play havoc with some people's digestive systems. This is due to it being a milk-based protein and it's usage has the potential to have rather embarrassing, albeit generally harmless, side effects. For those who wish to rid themselves of the whey protein issues for good, rice protein can serve as an excellent alternative.
3 – For those looking to naturally enhance the amino acid profile of their Rice Protein, Pea Protein can act as the perfect complement.

Among other things, one of the most popular complaints about many plant proteins that consumers will have is that they’re incomplete proteins – meaning that they don’t contain all of the essential amino acids.
For those who still want to take in all nine essential amino acids before their next workout with the help of a minimally processed protein, combining rice protein with pea protein may be an ideal solution. Where brown rice protein products have been recognized for their low levels of lysine, pea proteins have been recognised for their relatively high levels of lysine.
The Takeaway
Brown Rice Protein (sometimes with the help of pea protein) has the potential to offer athletes and fitness enthusiast the whey-based results that they’re looking for, but without the stomach troubles.
