Is Rice Protein considered a complete protein? How does it compare to whey?
Yes. The term “complete protein” refers to the inclusion of all nine essential amino acids. Rice Protein contains these nine amino acids, plus all other non-essential amino’s. All ingredients in our rice protein are naturally occurring components of the actual rice. We have added nothing to our product. For individuals looking for specific rations of amino acids, the following chart will be helpful. Persons on restrictive diets would do well to consult their health care practitioner or nutritionist before adopting or rejecting use of the rice protein. We cannot recommend use of our product to treat conditions other than hunger.
