Supplement fillers

Hi everyone! I’m new to the forum. I’m 21 an I started keto 1 month and a half ago and still adapting.
I’ve a concern about rice flour contained as “other ingredients” in a supplement I’ve bought (not sure if as filler or bulking agent).
Should I have be worried about its interactions with ketosis even if in small amounts? I haven’t already took the supplement.
Thanks in adv.

I’ve used supplements with this same filler added and didn’t have any problems, I’m guessing because of the amounts being so small.

Thanks for the reply Allie.
So I won’t worry about it.
Was just caring bout keto adaptation process.

If anyone has other experiences I’ll be happy to hear about them :blush:

Pills often use corn starch

In this supplement there are (as “other ingredients”) : rice flour, gelatin, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide.

gelatin is the capsule, silicone dioxide is anti-clumping, rice flour is a filler, and I think magnesium stearate is a filler / anti-caking agent too.
