Gamma Oryzanol

Also known as: γ-Oryzanol

Overview

Gamma Oryzanol (γ-Oryzanol), a mixture of compounds found notably in rice bran oil, is a promising but unproven cholesterol-lowering agent with some skin health properties. It does not increase testosterone.

Benefits

Gamma Oryzanol is most often used for Muscle Gain & Exercise. The Examine Database covers High Cholesterol, Muscle Size & Strength, and 1 other condition.

How it works

Gamma Oryzanol is linked to 3 conditions and outcomes. It has been studied for its effects on cholesterol levels and muscle performance, but the evidence is limited and often shows no significant effects.

Side effects

The dosages of Gamma-oryzanol used are highly variable, with some studies using a lower dose (50mg once daily or 20mg thrice daily) and other studies using a markedly higher dosage (300-800mg daily). As there are no reliable benefits associated with Gamma-oryzanol supplementation in the first place, it is unsure what dosage should be recommended (if this supplement is to be recommended at all).

Dosage

There is limited information on the side effects of Gamma Oryzanol, but as with any supplement, potential safety concerns and contraindications should be considered. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
