Pea Protein Isolate (Oryza sativa L)
Rice protein isolate is a powder obtained by extracting and concentrating proteins from the rice grain (Oryza sativa L.), a cereal cultivated for millennia across the world. This process typically yields a protein content of over 80%, while significantly reducing the carbohydrate and fat fractions found in the whole grain. Its amino acid profile is noteworthy: it contains all eight essential amino acids, with a notable concentration of BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, valine), amino acids that contribute to the maintenance and development of muscle mass. Compared to other plant-based sources, its profile is close to that of dairy proteins, making it a credible plant-based alternative. Rice protein isolate is naturally free from gluten and lactose, making it suitable for people with intolerances or sensitivities to these components. It offers a convenient way to supplement daily protein intake, both for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet and for athletes looking to support muscle recovery.
