Rice Protein Supplements

Rice Protein - Our Choice and Why

Rice protein supplements seem to be easier to assimilate and they seem to nourish more parts of the body than any other protein supplement that we have tried during the last 25 years. We have gone through whey protein, soy protein, hemp protein, even a protein powder made from brazil nuts and hemp.

Some filled our needs better than others. This article will not go into what we thought about the various protein products but rather what we discovered about two different kinds of rice protein supplements.

NutriBiotic Rice Protein Supplements

NutriBiotic Rice Protein

I found this rice protein powder because I was having to find a new protein. The store I go to didn't have what I usually buy.

It tested good on me in the store - better than any other types like soy or whey. (Note: I use "an easy to do" muscle test) And... this rice protein was the cheapest! When I put it in my morning smoothie, I was dissappointed because it was so grainy and powdery tasting, but for the price, I endured.

I was really impressed by the way I felt after taking it for a few days. It seemed to be so digestible. I never thought I had a problem with digesting protein supplement powders before but this feeling of "clean" digestion was very impressive.

I also observed that my legs were gaining good muscle tone after being on this protein for about a month. I had been climbing up and down stairs in our apartment for about 6 months and hadn't noticed any change in my legs until after I started using this protein powder.

But before you do, take a look at this other rice protein review. We found Sun Warrior even better...

Sun Warrior Protein

I found this protein supplement shortly after finding the NutriBiotic Rice Protein.

Sun Warrior Rice Protein I thought I would just try it but didn't think it would be any different. I compared the price and it seemed a little more expensive but there was something about it that made me wonder if it could be better.

The whole grain brown rice was sprouted and then the protein was separated from the carbohydrates using a natural fermentation process. The sprouting part captured my attention because I know that more nutrients are made available when grains are sprouted.

Like NutriBiotic, their temperature processing never rose above 90 degrees F. But... they claimed there were more nutrients in the final protein and that it tasted better.

This was very intriguing so I purchased a container. Here is what I found after several weeks of taking it daily.

• I began breathing deeper automatically - no effort. I've had week lungs since I had asthma as a child and then smoked in my late teens and early twenties. I never thought about the lungs needing protein but it seems that was a missing factor in their rebuilding properly.
• The intensity of color in the iris of my eyes had been changing because of a particular variety of carrots I had been eating but when I added this protein, I perceived a bettering of my actual sight. They have not gotten better to the point of not needing glasses but I am hopeful from the improvement. It is my belief there's more to vision than food but I am encouraged.
• I've found a tremendous increase in endurance with exercise. Just walking up my stairs changed dramatically. I believe it had to do with the improvement of my lungs. Also, when going for walks, I feel lighter and walk further.

Contains Naturally Occurring Vitamins...

Sprouting of any grains releases enzymes which create the nutrients needed to grow the new plant. Becuase Sun Warrior sprouts before proceeding with the natural fermenting process to separate the carbohydrates from the protein, a wealth of nutrients end up in the final product that aren't found in other rice protein products.

These naturally occurring vitamins and minerals include: thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, phosphorous, iron and potassium. High levels of Tocopherols and Tocotrienols, which are components of Vitamin E, are also found.

These added nutrients are really what made me think it would be worth the extra expense. I really am glad I tried it. I don't want to go back to NutriBiotic Rice Protein but when money is an issue, I know it's there.

At my age, it's really important to me to continue keeping my body in good shape and that is what this Sun Warrior Protein is doing for me.
