What is Organic Brown Rice Protein?

Organic brown rice protein is an incredibly popular protein supplement, particularly for people who suffer from food allergies and/or refuse to consume any form of produce that has been derived from an animal. As the name implies, brown rice protein is a protein that is derived from brown rice, which is actually packed full of protein. The proteins found in grains of brown rice are isolated, filtered, and processed, until you are left with a high protein powder that is ideal for anybody looking to increase their protein consumption. Brown rice contains natural proteins and starches, just like white rice. The added benefit associated with brown rice however, is that it is rich in numerous other healthy ingredients as well, including vitamins and minerals.

How does it work?

Organic brown rice protein works in virtually the same way as various other proteins you can expect to find in the supplement world. Protein is vital for the health function of our cells, which in itself, makes it hugely beneficial as, without it, our cells would break down and die. In terms of muscle growth and repair however, brown rice protein really comes into its own. Protein is vital for muscle function, growth, and repair, which basically means that, after we exercise and lift weights, in order for the body to rebuild and re-grow these muscle tissues even bigger and stronger than they were before, it would require the right nutrients and the right ingredients, which include proteins and amino acids. Brown rice proteins are relatively slow to be digested and broken down, making this a fantastic alternative to casein protein, which is also derived from dairy.

What are the main benefits of using Organic Brown Rice Protein supplements?

Some of the primary benefits associated with taking brown rice protein supplements, include:

Muscle growth and repair

As mentioned, when we exercise and lift weights, our existing muscle tissue is actually damaged and broken down. In order for the body to repair and rebuild it, it needs access to proteins and amino acids. Brown rice protein provides plenty of both, allowing the body to initiate protein synthesis, and begin to repair and rebuild damaged muscle tissue.

Slow release proteins

Brown rice protein is a slow release protein that is broken down and absorbed by the body much slower than other proteins. For this reason, it is ideal when combined with a quicker releasing protein, and it is also perfect for consuming right before bed, in order to keep your body in a constant anabolic state as you sleep.

Nutrient rich

Another great benefit associated with brown rice protein is the fact that it is packed full of healthy and beneficial nutrients, that the body absolutely thrives upon. Brown rice protein is rich in dietary fibre, that can improve digestion, and can help suppress the appetite. It is also rich in B vitamins and minerals that strengthen the immune system, and provide numerous other health benefits in the process.

Other benefits include:

• Great source of protein
• Slow release protein
• Rich in vitamins and minerals
• Packed full of amino acids
• Helps increase muscle mass
• Increases muscle strength
• Can help suppress the appetite
• Boosts the immune system
• Easy and convenient to consume
• Vegan and vegetarian-friendly
• Hypallergenic
• And more...

How and when should it be consumed?

For optimal results, experts recommend consuming 1 – 3 brown rice protein shakes per day. As it is a slow-releasing protein source, experts recommend consuming a brown rice shake first thing in the morning, last thing at night, and if having one post-workout, combining it with a faster absorbing protein. Simply add one scoop (30 g) to your beverage of choice, mix well, and enjoy.

Brown Rice Protein VS Pea Protein Isolate

Pea protein isolate is derived from peas, and again, is also vegan and vegetarian-friendly. As it is an isolate, that basically means that you get more protein per serving. Pea protein isolate is absorbed much quicker than brown rice protein, although it is often cheaper and therefore contains less nutrients. Pea protein contains less nutrients and different amino acids to brown rice proteins, with the main differences being the rates of absorption.
