More information about Rice Protein

Brown rice protein
Rice protein is a vegetarian protein isolate that is an alternative to the more common whey and soy protein isolates. Rice offers a surprisingly good source of lean, quality and balanced protein – a perfect option for vegetarians and vegans. What’s more, it is dairy and gluten free, making it ideal for coeliacs, as well as those with dairy, lactose and gluten intolerances or allergies. With a 98% correlation to mother’s milk and a 97% correlation to whey protein, rice protein is one of nature’s most complete and readily-digested protein sources, providing a good balance of essential amino acids (comparable to dairy or egg proteins). Sourced from brown rice and providing 67.7g of protein per 100g, RiceNourish offers a naturally nutritious way to up your intake of protein. Plus, it is low in saturated fat.

Chicory root extract
Chicory root is rich in a natural vegetable fibre called inulin. Plants like chicory store extra energy in their roots in the form of inulin and other carbohydrates. The inulin in chicory root can be extracted and isolated for use as dietary fibre.

Green tea extract
Camellia Sinensis, or green tea, is a source of catechin polyphenols – Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), in particular. It also contains various vitamins (such as vitamin A, D, E, C, B, H and K) and minerals (such as manganese, zinc, chromium and selenium).

Guarana seed extract
Originally discovered by an Amazonian tribe (the Guaranis, who the fruit was named after), Paullinia cupana(guarana) contains 3 – 7% caffeine from guaranine (coffee contains between 1 and 2%). However, while this substance is chemically identical to caffeine, it has one key difference: its stimulating component is released more slowly.
