WHAT IS CREAM OF RICE?

Carbohydrate is a vital energy source for both endurance performance and high intensity intermittent activities. Athletes and bodybuilders aim to maximise their body’s carbohydrate stores in preparation for competition using a process known as ‘carb loading’ or ‘carbing up’. This allows endurance athletes to increase the amount of fuel available to the working muscles during prolonged activity, such as running a marathon, while body builders employ this technique to maximise muscle size and definition.

Cream of Rice is an easy-to-digest complex carbohydrate made from white rice flour, which can provide a rapid supply of energy. It is sugar free, gluten free and is a perfect option for a bodybuilding diet. It can also provide the extra calories required to increase muscle mass, in addition to various other benefits.

Time 4 Cream Of Rice – Active Ingredient Profile

White Rice Flour

White rice flour is a form of flour made from finely milled white rice. White rice is milled rice that has had its husk, bran, and germ removed. This alters the nutritional content, flavour, texture and appearance and makes it easier to digest. White rice isn’t associated with the negative drawbacks of brown rice, which include potential gastrointestinal (GI) issues, allergies, and the blocking of micronutrient absorption.

Prebiotic – Acacia Fibre

Many of the health benefits of acacia fibre come from its status as a prebiotic, a type of fibre that’s beneficial for the good bacteria in the gut. Prebiotics can be thought of as a type of ‘food’ for your good bacteria, helping them to thrive. These good bacteria are not only associated with digestive health but many other aspects of the human body from boosting the immune system to good mental health. Consequently, acacia fibre acts as “fuel” for these friendly bacteria and significantly increases their number present in the gut.

Digestive Enzyme – Amylase

The role of amylase is essentially to break down carbohydrates into glucose. More specifically, it breaks down complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides) into smaller disaccharide units (two glucose molecules), eventually converting them into the monosaccharide (one glucose unit) glucose, which can then be used by the body for energy production.

Zinc

While zinc’s role in the function of immune system has received considerable attention, less well acknowledged is its important role in insulin action and carbohydrate metabolism. Zinc is involved in the synthesis, storage and release of insulin. It is this hormone that is responsible for promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood into the liver and skeletal muscle, where it can be used immediately for energy production or stored for when needed.

Niacin

Niacin is required for the release of energy from food. It plays a vital role in the synthesis of the coenzymes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP), which are involved in over 400 biochemical reactions in body, mainly relating to the conversion of the food we eat into usable energy and particularly the production of energy from carbohydrate. Consequently, our niacin requirement is related to the amount of energy consumed, i.e., the more we eat, the more niacin we need.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin which the body does not store and releases any excess in urine, so people need to get enough vitamin B6 every day from diet or supplementation. As exercise stresses the energy production pathways that depend on vitamin B6, evidence suggests that the requirements for this vitamin will be increased in athletes and active individuals.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin found predominately in animal products such as fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and other dairy products, making it difficult for those consuming a plant-based diet to obtain sufficient amounts. It is required for the normal function of energy production and fatty acid and amino acid metabolism. It also contributes to psychological function and a reduction in tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin B12 also aids digestive health by helping to maintain the lining of the gut and encourage a healthy balance of bacteria. It promotes healthy digestion and reduced inflammation in the gut to aid the prevention of inflammatory digestive disorders, which can reduce nutrient absorption.

Vitamin D

In addition to its vital role in maintaining our immune system and other aspects of our health, vitamin D can contribute to physical performance. For several recent studies have highlighted vitamin D’s role in building and maintaining muscle. This is because the exposure of skeletal muscles to vitamin D influences the genetic processes that enhance muscle cell type, function and growth. At the same time, vitamin D suppresses the expression of myostatin, a protein that regulates muscle size by inhibiting growth.
