About this supplement
Brown rice protein isolate is a highly concentrated protein powder derived from whole grain brown rice through a series of filtration and separation processes to remove carbohydrates, fats, and fiber. The resulting product contains over 80% protein by weight, making it a potent plant-based protein source. It is rich in essential amino acids, though typically lower in lysine compared to animal proteins, and is considered a hypoallergenic, gluten-free, and easily digestible alternative to whey, soy, or pea protein. It is commonly used in sports nutrition, meal replacements, and functional foods.

Physical properties
Fine, off-white to light tan powder. Typically soluble or dispersible in water and other liquids, though may have a slightly gritty texture. Mild, neutral to slightly nutty flavor.
How it’s made
Produced by milling brown rice into flour, then using enzymatic or chemical treatments to separate starch and fiber. The protein fraction is isolated via filtration (e.g., ultrafiltration) or centrifugation, followed by drying (spray-drying) to create a powder with >80% protein content.
