Rice protein
Also known as: brown rice protein
Rice protein is extracted mainly from brown rice and is hypoallergenic, gluten-free and soy-free. It is lower in lysine, so it is often combined with pea protein.
What it is used for
- protein top-up with allergies or on a plant-based diet – weak to moderate evidence
- muscle support with training – weak evidence, small studies
Forms and how they differ
brown rice concentrate/isolate
about 75–80% protein, slightly gritty texture
blended with pea
better amino-acid profile
Pairs well with
Pea protein, fruit, plant drinks.
Do not combine / separate
Do not rely on it as your only protein source because of lower lysine.
Watch out for
Rice may contain arsenic – choose products tested for heavy metals, especially in pregnancy. With kidney or liver disease, discuss higher protein intake with your doctor.
Safety
Safe for healthy people within normal total protein intake; do not exceed the label dose.
Practical tip
Look for a manufacturer who publishes heavy-metal analysis for each batch.

Strong evidenceModerate evidenceWeak evidenceNo evidence
Strong = several good human studies or official recommendations; moderate = promising but smaller studies; weak = few studies or mixed results; no evidence = claims not confirmed.
Combination check
