In the body
What it does.
Bambara is a legume, so the drink carries protein rather than borrowing it from an added isolate. It is high in lysine, the amino acid wheat, oats and rice are short of. It also supplies iron, which contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and magnesium. The carbohydrate is slow, so it sits well with a meal or before bed.
