ABOUT GAMMA-ORYZANOL

The compound Gamma-oryzanol (γ-oryzanol) consists of molecules of lipid known as steryl ferulates.

 

γ-Oryzanol is considered to be an antioxidant, as are many secondary metabolites in plants, as well as tocopherols, which are found in oils of seeds.

 

As a food source, rice bran and germ provide the best nutrition. γ-oryzanol is named after the rice plant, Oryza sativa.

 

γ-oryzanol has been available in Japan since 1962, and the vast majority of human studies involving it have been conducted in Japan and published in non-English journals.

 

Menopause, mood, nerves, and heart health are among the things that have been studied in these studies. There is evidence that cognitive, mood, stress, immune, and sleep functions are supported by animal studies.
