Rice Protein
Rice Protein- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount Why AtherosclerosisRefer to label instructions 
[1 star] Though not yet proven in clinical research, animal studies suggest that rice protein-based diets result in less buildup of atherosclerotic plaque compared with animal protein-based diets.
Athletic PerformanceRefer to label instructions [1 star] Some athletes believe rice protein may also improve blood flow to muscle to enhance growth and repair. However, no research has investigated the effects of rice protein on athletic performance.
ObesityRefer to label instructions [1 star] Dieters who are gluten or dairy sensitive and looking to supplement protein might consider rice protein, though its actual benefits for weight loss have not been studied.
Rice protein is extracted from rice and used in some protein supplements. Vegetarians may prefer it over protein supplements made from animal sources (such as whey or casein, which are milk proteins). Since rice is rarely involved in food allergies,1 rice protein may also be preferred by people with food allergies, and may be suitable to use in hypoallergenic infant formulas.2 Rice protein is not a complete protein, however, due to insufficient levels of the amino acids lysine and threonine.3, 4 Therefore, these amino acids are often added to rice protein products to correct this imbalance.

Comments about MuscleTech® PHASE8™ - Milk Chocolate:
MuscleTech Phase 8 is a fantastic post workout protien shake. Not only are the muscle building results phenomenal I find that with other post workout shakes Ive tried I am still incredibly hungry after I've already downed them. That sometimes leads me to get quick unhealthy food to satisfy my hunger. With phase 8 I dont have those cravings because it satisfies my hunger long enough to enable me to go home and make something worth eating. Oh yeah and this stuff tastes great too.

Comments about MuscleTech® PHASE8™ - Milk Chocolate:
This is a great protein that has a great taste. There are 150 calories per serving, which is a bit more than some that I take, but it tastes great. I usually mix this with some milk or half milk/water if I am looking to cut back on the calories more. Some things that are added in this protein that is great are the digestive enzymes. Papain and amylase are the two enzymes added which both help aid in digestion of proteins and starches. In theory, both of these would help to aid in the digestion of the protein and aid in more absorption.
This is a great tasting protein that is sold at a great price. This tastes great with milk or water and is great to be taken when you need more 'extended release' protein such as in the morning at breakfast, after your workout, or before bed.- Gender:

Comments about MuscleTech® PHASE8™ - Milk Chocolate:
Been using Muscletech Phase 8 for about 3 weeks & I am impressed. This is by far the best tasing protein shake I've ever had. Containing 26g protein, 6 Protein Sources, 2.2g glutamine & 4.6g BCAAs makes the profile simply outstanding. If you want one of the best tasting protein shakes on the market, give Phase 8 a try. You will not be diasappointed.

Comments about MuscleTech® PHASE8™ - Milk Chocolate:
Thanks to MuscleTech I have been able to try this protein before buying it. I'm not sure if I would have bought it on my own but after giving it a try it will be my protein of choice. I hate to drink protein shakes because I don't like the taste of milk. I'm happy to say to other people like me out there this does not have a milky taste and you will enjoy it. While the taste you will enjoy it is also is to mix without leaving clumps of powder at the bottom of your shaker cup. Phase 8 works as a nice protein shake in the morning when you wake up, before and after the gym, and before bed at night. If you don't believe me on how I feel about this product you can always check out my youtube video of me giving it a try for the first time. Youtube user name is Bmorsgent

Comments about MuscleTech® PHASE8™ - Milk Chocolate:
First I would like to thank MuscleTech for giving me to opportunity to try their product. To begin with, I am not much of a Vanilla fan, only because that specific flavor is a hit or miss with me and it gets old quickly. On a good note, Phase8 in Vanilla was truly unbelievable. I can't even remember the last time I had a vanilla shake that tasted so good. As for the chocolate flavor, one can never go wrong with chocolate, unless-perhaps, your inept to flavor development. The chocolate shake was just as delicious as the vanilla, so I can switch between flavors easily.
The Phase8 powder is a fine texture and very easy to blend. Usually I mix one scoop before bed or, because of the "slow release" action, I also have a shake at work in addition to my meals. After a week if consuming Phase8 I already feel gains in muscle mass, and better recovery.

Comments about MuscleTech® PHASE8™ - Milk Chocolate:
Awesome protein. Very low fat and carb and high in protein. Mixes well with milk and tastes great as well. Nice to have a protein drink that is rich in protein source diversity. Been steadily adding lean muscle with this supplement. I tried both Vanilla and milk chocolate and they both taste great.

Comments about MuscleTech® PHASE8™ - Milk Chocolate:
I really enjoyed trying this product from MuscleTech. I was quite surprised at the great taste and low nutritional facts. This is a great protein to take before bed because its a slow digestive protein, Casein. It has 22g of protein, 0 sugars., and only 2g of fat. I really like the profile and taste of this product. The protein can be made thicker with almond milk, if you're cutting which tastes fantastic. Give it a try! I preferred Milk Chocolate, but the Vanilla was pretty good as well.

Comments about MuscleTech® PHASE8™ - Milk Chocolate:
I had a chance to test both the Chocolate and Vanilla flavors of Phase 8. I needed a new casein and these came in perfect time. The chocolate one is by far my favorite flavor out of the 2. Its not too rich, very smooth. Ive been taking 2 scoops every night before bed and it keeps me full all night long. I don't wake up hungry like I have with other Casein's. Overall, this product is amazing and would recommend it to anyone looking for a new casein. Muscletech is really taking off with their new products !
