Why Do Athletes Use It?*

Some athletes say that rice protein helps improve weight-training results.

What Do the Advocates Say?*

Protein is necessary for building and repairing muscle, and this is especially important for bodybuilders. All types of protein, including rice protein, provide the body with amino acids. However, compared with other protein supplements, rice protein has more of the amino acid arginine, and since arginine is a vasodilator that can enhance blood flow to tissues, advocates believe rice protein may also improve blood flow to muscle to enhance growth and repair.
