SCS - Should I be concerned about rice flour in BioShield MD?

Rice flour is listed in other ingredients of BioShield MD. There is 165mg "other ingredients" per capsule, that is a total of rice flour + the others listed. This is a very small overall amount. The "other ingredients", including rice flour is used as flow agents which allow supplements to run through manufacturing machines without gumming up equipment. They make supplements look more appealing to consumers, and they even make them taste better.

While news reports have published a concern about arsenic in rice, it’s extremely unlikely that the average rice consumer consumes more arsenic than is considered safe, unless picking the rice with the highest arsenic content (from Louisiana) and eating more than 115 g (4 oz.) of it each day.
