AMINO ANIMO rice organic protein – 500g

The AMINO ANIMO Rice Protein is characterized by a very high protein (at least 80%) and a very low carbohydrate (0.1%) content. It is an organic protein powder with a balanced amino acid profile.

Rice is a widespread food. The amino acid profile of Rice bran shows higher concentrations of aspartic and glutamic acid. In addition, Rice bran is a great source of Thiamine (Vitamin B1), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Niacin (Vitamin B3) and antioxidants. It also contains a large percentage of fibers, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc and Phosphorus. Studies have shown that eating whole grain foods is associated with reduced obesity and normal weight maintenance. Increased consumption of Rice bran is also associated with reduced risk of hypertension and stroke, due to the association between high blood pressure and stroke. In addition, fibers and the consumption of whole grain foods seem to reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome and should generally be included in a balanced and healthy diet.

The amount of protein you need to intake on a daily basis differs throughout the course of life, as it depends on gender, age, individual goals, duration and intensity of exercise. To be able to calculate the recommended daily protein intake for your lifestyle, just focus on the level of physical activity. So, the more athletic you are, the more your protein needs increase.

If you follow a sedentary lifestyle, the recommended daily protein intake is estimated at 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. On the other hand, if you exercise regularly for health and well-being purposes, your daily intake is adjusted to 1.0 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, with emphasis on the quality of the protein you choose.

Athletes and those who follow a high-intensity exercise schedule at a moderate frequency (2-3 hours per day, 5-6 times per week), the recommended daily protein intake ranges from 1.0 to 1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight. Finally, athletes who are on a high-intensity exercise program at high frequency (1-2 workouts per day, 3-6 hours per day, 5-6 times per week), the daily intake is adjusted to 1.5-2.0 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.

Whichever of the above categories you belong to, it would be ideal to divide your protein into several meals, instead of consuming it all at once. This way you will achieve better satiety and therefore you will not feel constantly hungry. For example, you can eat beans at lunch and then add organic rice protein powder to your afternoon smoothie. These 2 proteins are called complementary, as they form a complete amino acid profile. The same result is achieved by combining a meal with spinach and organic almond protein powder.
