SPOON STIRRED: Natural Pro Complex® APS is INSTANTIZED. That means if you forgot your shaker cup or don’t have time to get out the blender, you can just add 2 rounded scoops of Natural Pro Complex® APS to a glass filled with 8-12 oz of water, nonfat milk, or your favorite beverage. Then mix it up with a spoon. Stir for about 20 seconds or until powder is completely dissolved. TIP: Adjust the intensity of your Natural Pro Complex® by varying the amount of liquid that you use to prepare it. For a bolder flavor with slightly more body and sweetness, mix two scoops with 6-8 oz of water, milk, or your favorite beverage. For a milder tasting, less sweet shake, use 12-14 oz of liquid per two scoops.
SHAKER: Bringing a shaker cup with you to the gym is the perfect way to get a hefty dose of protein immediately after your workout. Just add 2 rounded scoops of Natural Pro Complex® APS to your shaker cup and then pour in 8-12 oz of your preferred beverage. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds.
BLENDER: Add 2 rounded scoops of Natural Pro Complex® APS powder to a blender filled with 8-12 oz of water, nonfat milk, or your favorite beverage. Add several ice cubes and mix on highest speed for 45-60 seconds. SHAKE UP YOUR SHAKE: By adding a few high-energy ingredients to your shake you can blend up a complete meal: try adding fresh or frozen fruits (strawberries, bananas, etc.), peanut butter, flaxseed oil, unflavored yogurt,and/or slivered almonds. STACK YOUR SHAKE: By adding other supplements including creatine, glutamine, taurine (e.g. CGT-10), and BCAA powders you can make Natural Pro Complex® APS an even more powerful post-workout recovery product.
SUGGESTED USE: Consume approximately 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day. You can achieve this through a combination of high protein foods and protein supplements. For the best results, consume your daily protein allotment over several small meals spread evenly throughout the day.

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.
