Research
Carbohydrate supplementation, especially with slow-digesting carbohydrates like rice flour, has been shown to improve endurance and muscle recovery. A study published in The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found that athletes who consumed carbohydrate-based meals after exercise experienced faster muscle glycogen replenishment and improved performance during subsequent workouts.
Additionally, the D-Ribose found in Purity Cream of Rice has been studied to enhance recovery by supporting ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, which helps reduce muscle fatigue and improve energy levels.

I wasn’t sure if trying a rice-based carbohydrate supplement was the best option for me, but this right here exceeded my expectations. It’s incredibly easy to prepare and pairs perfectly with both sweet and savory toppings. After my intense cycling sessions, it helps me replenish glycogen without feeling heavy. The salted caramel flavor has become my favorite. No artificial aftertaste and it’s naturally satisfying. This is now my go-to carb source for training days
This is so good that my husband keeps stealing it for his breakfast. Time to order more!
