Gluten Free Protein Bars

About Gluten Free Protein Bars

Gluten Free Protein Bars are a convenient way to ensure you meet your daily protein needs. Whether your goal is to lean up, gain muscle or simply to support recovery from exercise, a protein bar in the pocket when you head out the front door ensures you won't be scouring the local stores for canned tuna in springwater or tubs of low-fat cottage cheese.

Gluten is found in many grains, including wheat, spelt and rye, and contains a protein called gliadin. Gluten is actually high in protein, though it does lack the essential amino acid lysine. Many people react adversely to gluten, which means the immune system identifies it as a foreign molecule that needs to be destroyed, similar to a virus. This is the case with Coeliac disease, which is a severe form of gluten reactivity. If you suffer with Coeliac disease, are sensitive to gluten or are just trying to minimise gluten intake, gluten-free protein bars are certainly the way to go.

Gluten free bars offer all the benefits of regular protein bars, just without gluten. The bars within the Gluten-Free Protein Bars section contain all nine essential amino acids, including lysine, and plenty of other amino acids as well. These amino acids are naturally occurring within the high quality protein sources.
