Rice Protein Limiting Lysine
Rice protein is lysine-limited—combine with pea, legumes, or soy so essential amino acids cover muscle repair needs across the day.
Rice protein limiting lysine means brown rice protein is methionine-fair but lysine-poor—fine as part of a blend, weak as the only powder in a high-volume training phase. Classic pairing with pea or beans restores amino acid balance in one shake or day.
Digestibility is generally good.
