HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Brown Rice Protein Powder by Swanson Certified Organic

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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: organic brown rice protein powder. It's a plant-based protein source made from brown rice, and there are no other active ingredients or fillers in this formulation.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Rice Protein's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Rice Protein for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Food allergies — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Rice protein has possibly effective evidence for helping with food allergies — though this is a modest rating. For exercise-induced muscle soreness and muscle strength, the evidence we hold is insufficient to say one way or the other whether it works.

If you're considering this powder for general protein intake as a food, that's a different use than what's been studied here.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Rice Protein

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 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.

Rice protein is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth in healthy adults. It's rarely been linked to enterocolitis (bowel inflammation) in young children, and although rice protein is often called hypoallergenic, allergies to it have been reported.

The safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding is limited — concentrated protein supplements like this one haven't been well studied in those settings, so check with your doctor or midwife first if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Rice Protein

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Rice Protein.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 23 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take an ACE inhibitor (blood pressure medication), check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting this powder. The interaction is moderate in severity and based on laboratory evidence, so it needs a real conversation about your individual situation.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a straightforward single-ingredient protein powder that most healthy adults can use as a food. If you take an ACE inhibitor for blood pressure, talk to your pharmacist before you start.

If you have a history of rice allergy or your child is very young, mention this product to your doctor first.

Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

In laboratory research, hydrolyzed rice protein inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). In animal research, the inhibition of ACE is correlated with a reduction in systolic blood pressure. So far, this effect has not been shown in humans. Theoretically, concomitant use of rice protein and ACE inhibitors may increase the risk of blood pressure becoming too low. Use with caution. ACE inhibitors include benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), moexipril (Univasc), perindopril (Aceon), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril (Altace), and trandolapril (Mavik).

Organic Brown Rice Protein Powder by Swanson Certified Organic: Common Questions

Does Organic Brown Rice Protein Powder by Swanson Certified Organic interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Brown Rice Protein Powder has a known interaction with 23 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Organic Brown Rice Protein Powder contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Does rice protein actually help with muscle soreness after workouts?
The evidence we hold is insufficient to say whether it helps. There's not enough reliable research yet to know if it reduces exercise-induced muscle soreness.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The data isn't there to say it's safe or unsafe. Concentrated supplements like this one haven't been well studied during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Is rice protein a good choice if I have food allergies?
Rice protein has possibly effective evidence for helping with food allergies. That said, although it's often called hypoallergenic, allergies to rice protein itself have been reported, so let your doctor know you're using it.
Could this cause stomach problems?
Rice protein is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. Very rarely, enterocolitis (bowel inflammation) with vomiting and diarrhea has been reported, mostly in young children, and usually linked to an allergy to the rice protein itself.
Is there just rice protein in here, or are there fillers?
This product has no inactive ingredients or fillers — it's just the organic brown rice protein powder.
