Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product Red 8 Protein Plus Rice Protein (Unflavored). Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when rice protein is consumed in food. Rice protein has generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status in the United States for use in food products at concentrations of up to 34.3% (97812). ...when hydrolyzed rice protein is used topically on the hair and skin. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel has concluded that hydrolyzed rice protein is safe for use in cosmetic ingredients based on cutaneous tolerance testing in individuals with non-sensitive skin (97802).
CHILDREN: POSSIBLY SAFE
when hydrolyzed rice protein with additional lysine and threonine is used in infant formula as the sole source of nutrition in infants less than 6 months of age, and then as part of the diet until 24 months of age.
However, hydrolyzed protein formulas are only recommended for use in infants unable to tolerate cow's milk or other proteins. Breast milk or standard formula is recommended for most infants (97794,97795,97798,97799).
Rice is a source of inorganic arsenic, which is known to negatively impact long-term health. The amount of inorganic arsenic in rice protein products or hydrolyzed rice protein-based formulas is not known. Look for products that declare the inorganic arsenic content and provide information regarding its potential risk (97793).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using in amounts greater than those found in food.
Below is general information about the interactions of the known ingredients contained in the product Red 8 Protein Plus Rice Protein (Unflavored). Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
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 (97792). 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).

Below is general information about the adverse effects of the known ingredients contained in the product Red 8 Protein Plus Rice Protein (Unflavored). Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
General ...Orally, rice protein seems to be generally well tolerated. Enterocolitis associated with rice protein has been rarely reported in young children (97806,97811). Although rice protein is considered hypoallergenic, allergies to the proteins in rice have been reported when used topically and orally (97802,97806,97811).
Dermatologic ...The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel has concluded that hydrolyzed rice protein is safe for use in cosmetic ingredients based on cutaneous tolerance testing in individuals with non-sensitive skin (97802). However, topical application of undiluted hydrolyzed rice protein has been rarely reported to cause redness (97802).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, rice protein has been rarely reported to cause enterocolitis symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration, possibly leading to acidosis and lethargy, in infants and young children (97806,97811). Rarely, enterocolitis symptoms are associated with an allergy to rice protein (97806,97811).
Immunologic
...Orally, rice protein has been rarely reported to cause enterocolitis.
These symptoms have been possibly associated with an allergy to rice protein (97806,97811). In one case report of allergic enterocolitis, boiling did not adequately degrade the proteins involved in the IgE-mediated response. However, processing at high temperatures in a retort pouch allowed for adequate degradation (97806).
Hydrolysis of rice protein with enzymatic decomposition, typically used for oral consumption, reduces dermatologic allergic symptoms in most people (97802).
