Brown Rice Concentrate
Snapshot
Brown Rice Concentrate is a nutrient‑rich powder made from de‑hulled whole brown rice, providing complex carbohydrates, fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals for sustained energy and metabolic support.
What is Brown Rice Concentrate?
Brown Rice Concentrate is produced by milling and enzymatic treatment of whole brown rice to remove excess starch and concentrate protein, fiber, and micronutrients into a fine, tan powder.
Where It Comes From
Whole brown rice grains are cleaned, dehulled, and subjected to controlled enzymatic hydrolysis and filtration to reduce digestible starch, then dried and milled into a powder that retains bran, germ, and endosperm components.
Key Nutrients & Compounds
Provides complex carbohydrates with moderate glycemic index, 8–12% protein, 10–15% fiber, B‑vitamins (niacin, thiamine), minerals (magnesium, manganese, phosphorus), and antioxidant compounds (ferulic acid).
Health Benefits
Brown Rice Concentrate offers sustained energy release to support endurance and stable blood glucose; supplies fiber for digestive regularity and gut health; contributes protein and micronutrients for metabolic and bone health; and provides antioxidants that combat oxidative stress.
Recommended Dosage
10–30 g per serving, 1–3 times daily, mixed into beverages, shakes, or meal replacements; adjust based on energy and fiber needs.
How to Use It
Blend into smoothies, plant‑based milks, or water; stir into oatmeal or yogurt; can be added to baked goods or soups for nutritional enhancement. Consume with adequate fluids to support fiber function.
Who Should Use It?
Athletes and active individuals seeking complex carbohydrate support; anyone aiming for balanced blood sugar and sustained energy; those looking to boost fiber and whole‑grain intake without additional volume.
Possible Interactions or Cautions
High fiber content may cause mild bloating if introduced rapidly; separate from certain medications by two hours to avoid interference with absorption; individuals with rice allergy should avoid.
Final Thoughts
Brown Rice Concentrate is a versatile whole‑grain supplement delivering balanced macronutrients and micronutrients for energy, digestive, and metabolic health in a convenient powder form.
