At first passing, you could think that Sun Warrior raw vegan protein powder is just another overpriced commercial protein powder that might not do much for you. But nothing could be further from the truth.

Firstly, because as the name says it is a vegan suitable protein source, no cows are needed to make this product at all because the protein Sun Warrior use is from organic brown rice only. Where as most commercially made protein powders, yes even those in health store, are made from whey derived from cows milk. And the cows that give you this whey are often too unwell themselves to product good quality whey, and then this whey is heated by high temperatures so it then renders any good components found within as useless. 

Even if you are not using whey protein powders, most of us today if we are honest with ourselves still over consume cow’s milk from  the same unhealthy cows. Sun Warrior protein powder can help you to take a break from both food items whatever you consume, and can help people learn that there are other protein sources available not just from animals.

Secondly, because this product is raw (meaning it has not been heated above 40 degrees during processing), the brown rice has nearly all of its original nutritional profile in tact. The latter point I just mentioned to you is huge. Because if you are one of the many people who rely on protein powders to give you more energy, or to build muscle – the chances are that you are already buying a protein powder that is already damaged by the high heat temperatures that are commonly used to make such products. What happens when the protein comes into contact with high heat is a lot of the amino acids that make up protein in the first place, will be damaged and therefore rendered useless by the body.

Sun Warrior Raw Vegan Protein Powder – Not Just For Vegans

It’s a big misconception that just because you eat animal protein you are getting all the amino acids you need (the building blocks of protein) to keep you healthy, and keep repairing all your bodies tissue and to help you grow. Mainly because most people are currently over heating their animal protein sources to extreme temperatures which then as I mentioned above, damages some of the amino acids – so you may not be getting as much as you think you are. As a nutritionist, I have even seen well educated vegans deficient in amino acids because many of them also cook all of their food, including their vital plant based protein sources.

The Amino Acid Profile in Sun Warrior Protein Powder Per 21g Scoop (for Vanilla flavour)

  • Alanine                 820 mg
  • Arginine              1380 mg
  • Aspartic Acid     1300 mg
  • Cystine                  370 mg
  • Glutamic Acid   2600 mg
  • Glycine                 640 mg
  • Histidine              320 mg
  • Isoleucine           660 mg
  • Lysine                  510 mg
  • Methionine        480 mg
  • Phenylalanine   820 mg
  • Proline                750 mg
  • Serine                 730 mg
  • Threonine          570 mg
  • Tryptophan       180 mg
  • Tyrosine             820 mg
  • Valine                  910 mg

The list of amino acids, and the comments above are just some of the reasons why I believe everyone should be looking at adding a little raw protein to their diets each week to ensure they are a) getting all the essential amino acids (the ones your body cannot make itself) and b) to perhaps encourage a much needed varied diet for those that are currently over-consuming animal protein weekly. Let’s explore some of the other benefits of Sun Warrior vegan protein powder.

Easy on Your Digestion and Won’t Negatively Impact Insulin Levels

Taking care of our digestion seems to be at the core of great health. So, to enable us to do so we should eat foods that are easy to digest. Another huge plus about this product is it so easy to digest because of the unique bio-fermentation technique used which helps increase nutrient absorption. Sun Warrior Protein starts out as raw, gluten-free, whole-grain brown rice, which is then germinated to maximize the levels of bio-activity. Natural plant enzymes are introduced which digest almost all of the carbohydrates, leaving only easy-to-digest protein. The bio-fermentation process is carefully monitored until the protein concentration reaches 85%. This leaves only pure amino acids in a form which the body can easily recognize and absorb. The result of this process is a powder that is silky smooth, giving you 16g of protein in one single 21g scoop serving. At no time in the creation of Sun Warrior Protein does the processing temperature ever exceed 40 degrees centigrade. This unique product is the first of its kind. In more ways than one. A lot of protein powders on the market, be it those of whey, vegetable or even other rival rice proteins are hard to digest and unbalanced, simply because of the source of their protein not being good to begin with, and then the chemical processing that is common place. No chemicals or acid hydrolysis is used, unlike most proteins on the market. Sun Warrior Protein has astounding implications for nutrient availability. Sun Warrior protein is also hypoallergenic, with a whipping 98.2% digestion rate, and contains all 9 essential amino acids so can be deemed a complete vegetable protein.

Because most of the carbohydrates are gone when the process is finished preparing this brown rice powder it makes a great option for those that have insulin resistance, and for those that have carbohydrate sensitivity. This makes for the perfect recipe for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, because the carbohydrate source is a whole grain source that has not been stripped and refined which makes the glycaemic index of foods higher, and because it contains over three times as much protein as it does carbohydrates. 

It is vital to be aware and keep your blood sugar levels stable at all times, not only for those that are diabetics either. For all of us to in fact to prevent developing diabetes. I advise keeping your refined carbohydrates to a minimum, and using vegetables as your main healthy carbohydrate source. But when you do wish to include other sources of carbohydrates Sun Warrior protein is a great healthy option when consumed in moderation.

You see, it is the refined carbs that cause insulin levels to rise, and when insulin levels rise quickly, the fat that is in your blood stream is then stored as fat. Sun Warrior brown rice powder can help create vital insulin sensitivity in many when it is consumed because it is slow to be released into the blood stream. We all need to ensure we are working on being more insulin sensitive. Because insulin resistance (where the natural hormone insulin becomes less efficient at lowering blood sugars) can cause many chronic health problems, all because the levels of blood sugar rise outside of the ‘normal’ range. This is perhaps one of the easiest health conditions to treat, along side a specialist natural health care provider and where all of us should be watching our intake of refined and processed carbohydrates. We should keep these poor sources of carbohydrates them to the bare minimum, if not avoiding them completely which is preferred if we are to reach optimal health.

Sun Warrior Protein Powder Cares for the Environment

Another huge advantage is Sun Warrior protein powder is organic. They are busy getting their certification, and going through the stringent checks for this – hence why there is no certification label attached the the pack. Plus, to keep making the current most popular form of protein powder, which is whey, requires lots of the planets resources to be used such as water, and food to care for the cows that produce it. Not to mention the amount of land they take up – to use a brown rice protein that does not require so many resources to be used, or any animals to get abused due to being farmed accoring to common non certified organic farming would make for a better world.

Huge Potential Health Benefits & Delicious Silky Smooth Taste

Not only is this protein powder easy to blend, it tastes more creamy than it does a powder when you have made your smoothie with it in. Gone are the days of having to drink tough, and poor tasting protein powder shakes that you make yourself!

Plus, current ongoing clinical studies have shown that Sun Warrior protein may help to:

  • Lower levels of oxidized cholesterol levels (this is the only time cholesterol is bad for us)
  • Help those who struggle with high blood pressure
  • Effectively control weight
  • Reverse the aging
  • Build muscle mass
  • Promote alkalinity within the body
  • Promote bone strength

Rich in More Than Just Protein & Good For People of All Ages 

Sun Warrior Protein preserves the nutrient density of whole grain brown rice through its gentle processing techniques, which actually enhances the availability of its amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Apart from a complete protein profile, full of all the essential amino acids in good amounts, and even some non essential amino acids – Sun Warrior also contains the following nutrients:

  • High in Tocopherols and Tocotrienols, powerful antioxidants known collectively as Super Vitamin E. This is due to the unique bio-fermentation processing method which preserves the bran of the whole grain brown rice with the sprouted endosperm.
  • Whole grain brown rice is naturally high in many of the B Vitamins, including B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), and B3 (niacin). Both Vitamins B1 and B2 help the body create energy from the food we eat, while Vitamin B3 works synergistically with B1 and B2 to provide clean burning fuel for our cells.
  • Iron, potassium and phosphorous – These three minerals work together in the body to oxygenate tissues, support muscular health, and maintain cellular energy supplies.

Sun Warrior Protein actually helps the body absorb many vitamins and minerals much more readily, making it perfect for infants, children, pregnant women and the elderly.

Sun Warrior have created a protein powder that preserves and combines the best vitamins for energy production, alongside one of the worlds most hypoallergenic bio-available sources of protein. This product also received an Editor’s Choice Award for Best New Protein, from Mike Adams and the team at Natural News.
