NOW FoodsBarley-Rice Protein Powder

Barley-rice protein is a plant-based protein extracted from barley and rice, two grains that naturally contain protein and are processed into powder form.

These proteins are naturally present in grain products such as rice, barley, bread, cereals, and other grain-based products.

By combining these two plant sources, a broader composition of amino acids is achieved than with a single source.

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are naturally found in both plant and animal protein sources.

The amino acid profile shows which amino acids are present in the protein and in what amounts per serving.

BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) are branched amino acids, including leucine, isoleucine and valine, which are shown separately in the profile.

Because the protein is derived from natural sources (barley and rice), it naturally contains a mix of different amino acids.
