HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Black Rice 500 mg by Everyday Health

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: black rice extract at 500 mg per capsule. Black rice is a whole grain that's been used in traditional diets for centuries.

The capsule also contains magnesium stearate and gelatin as inactive ingredients—these are the binding and encapsulation materials that hold the supplement together.

Does it work?

No specific claim
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
General wellness

This Black Rice product is marketed for general wellness, not a specific health condition, so there's no single claim to grade — see Black Rice's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets general wellness (“Antioxidant support”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.

The evidence we hold does not establish that black rice extract works for any of the conditions it's marketed for—atopic dermatitis (eczema), high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), obesity, or allergic rhinitis (hay fever). All of those carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence to rate, which means the research so far hasn't been robust enough to draw firm conclusions.

If you're considering this for one of those reasons, it's worth discussing with your doctor what the current science actually supports.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Black rice as a food is generally well tolerated in normal eating amounts. The safety notes in our data do flag that concentrated supplements and extracts—which is what you're taking here—haven't been well studied in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing, there isn't enough data to know either way whether this extract is safe for you or your baby. Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

No adverse effects are documented in the data we hold.

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for black rice extract. Still, if you take any medications—especially for cholesterol, blood sugar, or allergies—a quick chat with your doctor or pharmacist before you start is never a bad idea.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula marketed for general wellness rather than one specific gradeable purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Black Rice 500 mg is one you might try if you're looking for an antioxidant from a whole-grain source, but know that the evidence for its effectiveness against specific health conditions is not yet established. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or take any regular medications, check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Black Rice 500 mg by Everyday Health: Common Questions

Does Black Rice 500 mg by Everyday Health interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Black Rice 500 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Black Rice 500 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is black rice extract safe to take while pregnant?
There isn't enough data to know either way. Black rice is safe as a food, but concentrated extracts like this supplement haven't been well studied in pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist to decide what's right for you.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
The safety of concentrated black rice extracts while nursing is unknown. If you're breastfeeding, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
Does black rice extract really lower cholesterol?
The evidence we have is not strong enough to say it does. Studies so far have been insufficient to rate its effectiveness for high cholesterol.
Can this help me lose weight?
We don't have reliable evidence that black rice extract helps with weight loss. The data currently available isn't strong enough to make that claim.
What's the difference between eating black rice and taking this extract?
Black rice as a food is well studied and safe in normal amounts. This product is a concentrated extract that hasn't been as thoroughly studied, especially in pregnant or nursing women.
Does this contain any fillers?
The capsule contains magnesium stearate and gelatin as inactive ingredients—these are binders and encapsulation materials that are standard in supplements.
