On my website I only recommend one nutritional product. Sun Warrior Protein. The reason is simple. It’s the best. And trust me, I know. I’ve tried every protein powder on the planet over last 25 years. Why is Sun Warrior the best protein out there? First of all, it tastes great. Secondly, I can digest it. This is huge! I was sick and tired of the bloating and other unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects of whey protein and wasn’t getting the results I wanted from the cheap low-end soy protein products that fill the shelves at the grocery stores.

Then I found Sun Warrior protein. The results I got from it excited me enough to put it on my website. Sun Warrior protein is a brown rice protein that is both organic and vegan and has no chemical sweeteners, no refined sugars, no dairy, no soy, and no genetically modified ingredients. So not only does it work great – it’s great for you.

I’ll leave all the science for a Q & A I had with one of the owners – but I can tell you from my own personal experience – it’s the best protein powder I’ve tried. I dropped body fat and got ripped from using it. Currently, I’m 45 years old, steroid free and in the best shape of my life. I owe a lot of it to Sun Warrior Protein!

For more information on the Sun Warrior protein and why you should use it, read the below interview with one of the founders of Sun Warrior Brent Hauver:

DAN: What motivated you to get into the protein powder business and why did you choose a brown rice protein?

BH: Great question – We know that many types of protein powder such as whey or soy can become less effective over time, and may even prove harmful when taken continuously. Many people have asked me about a simple product that they can take every day, which will also help them build muscle mass and feel great. I found it in Sun Warrior protein. After 11 months on Sun Warrior protein, I gained 50 lbs, most of it all lean muscle mass. My energy levels went through the roof and started breaking records on my lifts. What I needed was a Protein Super food that could help me nourish and heal my body and Sun Warrior went above and beyond my expectations.

DAN: What makes Sun Warrior better than that other protein powders available out there?

BH: What makes Sun Warrior protein so different than other proteins is that we use a unique natural holistic bio-fermentation process that combines the sprouted endosperm and the bran from Raw Sprouted Whole Grain Brown Rice that results in a massive increase in Lysine and essential and non-essential amino acids. This creates a perfectly balanced amino acid profile that is easy to digest and assimilate.

DAN: What is the conversion rate of amino acids to protein?

BH: Sun Warrior Protein is composed of 85% pure protein, and has been shown to have the highest conversion rate of amino acids to protein among all protein powders currently available. Sun Warrior Protein has been designed specifically for athletes, body builders, and all those looking for a raw vegan protein that taste great.

DAN: I love the taste too. But what makes Sun Warrior powder so effective?

BH: Sun Warrior Protein begins as raw, whole-grain brown rice, germinated to maximize the levels of bioactivity. Natural plant enzymes are introduced which digest almost all of the carbohydrates, leaving only easy-to-digest protein. Carefully monitored bio-fermentation of the organically grown brown rice progresses steadily 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: an incredible 16 grams of protein in each Tablespoon serving of Sun Warrior Protein. Also at no time in the creation of Sun Warrior Protein does the processing temperature ever exceed 90∞ F. This is a completely raw product, the first of its kind.

DAN: But it also has to do with the absorption rate too, right? Tell me about that.

BH: Sun Warrior Protein has been found to have a 98.2% digestion efficiency rating, ranking far above any comparable protein source. Sun Warrior Protein actually helps the body absorb many vitamins and minerals much more readily, making it perfect for infants, children, and the elderly. It’s also high in high in Tocopherols and Tocotrienols, powerful antioxidants known collectively as Super Vitamin E. This is due to the unique bio-fermentation processing method that preserves the bran of the whole grain brown rice with the sprouted endosperm.

DAN: You’re so pumped up by Sun Warrior I bet you could go on and on about it’s benefits.

BH: Yeah, I could. It’s really an exciting super food. Clinical studies have shown that Sun Warrior Protein may help lower these levels of cholesterol over time. And the United States Department of Agriculture is also studying Sun Warrior Protein for ways in which it may benefit those challenged by high blood pressure.

DAN: That’s incredible! Last question: Sun Warrior is more expensive that a lot of proteins on the market. Why should the consumer be willing to pay more for the Sun Warrior protein powder?

BH: Yes I can understand this. Let me make some cases for Sun Warrior. Many people think that protein is protein. But of course we know that this is not true. You can buy low-end hydrolyzed (chemically processed) protein for cheap that is low quality, and has a low assimilation rate and causes intestinal disturbances and tastes like garbage. Or you can buy a natural process high quality protein that has a high absorption rate and easy to digest, has high efficacy and health value and tastes great. Your choice – you get what you pay for. Also, in my opinion there are too many body builders and athletes that take so much protein and yet they do not assimilate the protein that they have taken in. After it is all about digestion and assimilation. Because Sun Warrior is predigested with biofermentation and enzymes it has a 98 to 99% digestion efficiency. That means that you do not need to take as much to get the results you need. Third, Sun Warrior is a functional food or in other words a food that is nutritious and tastes good but also has awesome healing properties.

DAN: Hey Brent – thanks for the great information. I’m certainly a big fan of Sun Warrior protein and look forward to passing on the benefits to others!
