Why Use Brown Rice Protein

Brown rice protein powder has many benefits for health and fitness. It provides a convenient source of protein nutrients for vegetarians and others who follow restricted diets. Like white rice, brown rice is a grain that contains natural starches and proteins, the difference being that brown rice still contains its bran or natural fiber content. Since brown rice protein powder is considered hypo-allergenic, it may also make an excellent choice for individuals with dairy, soy and/or gluten allergies. Always consult your doctor before adding any protein supplement to your diet.

Complete Amino Acid Profile
A complete protein contains all 8 essential amino acids, that is amino acids that cannot be synthesized within the human body, thus need to be supplied by the diet. Protein in plants is notorious for NOT being complete. Even soy protein, which is often promoted as being a complete protein, is still so deficient in methionine and tryptophan, that it is effectively incomplete. On the other hand, Rice Protein Isolate is a complete protein with a 96% correlation to whey.

Vegetarian and Vegan

Brown rice protein powder provides a supplemental source of dietary protein for vegetarians and/or vegans who cannot use animal proteins. Due to advances in protein extraction methods, brown rice protein can successfully be separated from the grain or starch. A typical product may contain anywhere from 20 to 24g of protein per one scoop serving. Since protein is an essential macro-nutrient often lacking in vegetarians, protein powders can help fill the nutritional gap.


Hypo-Allergenic

Some individuals simply cannot tolerate egg, milk and soy-derived protein due to allergies. For example, the milk sugar called lactose can cause severe allergic reactions that result in unwanted gastrointestinal side effects like nausea, bloating, diarrhea or vomiting. Brown rice protein powder is suitable for almost any user. It also contains no gluten, the wheat protein that some manufacturers add to powders or products. Most brown rice proteins are organic and contain little or no artificial colors, sweeteners or fillers.

Muscle Recovery
Like any other protein, brown rice contains amino acids, the building blocks of proteins structures like your muscles. Intense physical training or simply every day activities cause muscle to breakdown. The body uses dietary proteins to provide the amino acids for rebuilding your muscles. For recovery from workouts, "The Holy Grail Body Transformation Program" author Tom Venuto recommends 30 to 50g of protein. While the proteins of brown rice are more slowly digested than whey or egg proteins, brown rice still contains all of the necessary amino acids.

Fat Burning

Increasing dietary protein intake with supplements like brown rice protein powder speeds up fat burning. Proteins have a "thermic" effect, meaning that they create heat in the body through the process of digestion. Since proteins take a lot of energy to digest, you burn more calories after eating a meal high in protein. In fact, up to 30 percent of protein's calories get burned through its digestion according to "The Abs Diet" by David Zinczenko. Building a weight loss strategy around lean sources of protein like brown rice powder makes nutritional sense.

Blood Sugar

Dietary protein has another important affect on your weight loss efforts. Blood sugar will spike in response to meals thereby causing the pancreas to secrete the hormone insulin to facilitate the storage of circulating nutrients. Large insulin spikes that result from high carbohydrate-containing meals trigger fat storage and may lead to insulin resistance according to "The Fat Burning Bible" by Mackie Shilstone. Taking in more protein with a meal helps balance this blood sugar and insulin effect to prevent body fat storage.
