Gamma-Oryzanol. gamma-oryzanol is a substance found in grains and is isolated from rice bran oil. This ferulic acid compound is present in rice, wheat, barley, oats, tomatoes, asparagus, olives, berries, peas, citrus fruits, and other foods. The concentrations are higher in whole grains than in refined grains and flours.
Gamma-oryzanol was initially shown to be effective in relieving menopausal hot flashes in the early 1960s,57 and at least one additional study has confirmed that finding. | | The typical dosage of gamma-oryzanol is 100 mg three times daily.
Gamma-Oryzanol

Vitamin E. The considerable reputation of vitamin E as a remedy for hot flashes comes from studies done as far back as 1945.59-62 The problem is that vitamin E has received very little scientific attention for this use since those early studies. Only recently has there been renewed research interest, largely born of the need to provide menopausal breast cancer patients with safe and effective medicines for symptom relief. |

This rice bran oil extract can help repair the entire digestive system and also improve the central nervous system's digestive control. Choline, pantothenic acid, and thiamine are B-complex vitamins that can have long-term digestive benefits. If you suffer from chronic acid reflux, try them in combination for a month or so to see if they help.
Supplements: Medications used to treat acid reflux deplete the body of vitamin B12, folate, and various minerals. | | Take 500 mg of mastic gum three times a day to heal stomach mucosa and for its antibacterial benefits. gamma-oryzanol, also known as rice bran oil, can help repair the entire digestive system.

HOMEOPATHY
>w The following remedies can work quickly and effectively to clear up a recent f episode of heartburn or acidity that is due to an obvious trigger. a ril Homeopathic remedies may be far more helpful than conventional antacids, which can be associated with acid-rebound when used habitually. | | Also take 150 mg of gamma-oryzanol, a natural substance isolated from bran, three times a day for one month. Studies have shown that it protects the mucous lining of the gastrointestinal tract by regulating nervous system control and exerting antioxidant activity, all of which can help with IBS. Gentian root improves overall digestive function by stimulating the secretions of digestive juices; take 300 mg or 10 drops of tincture 15 minutes before meals. Drinking ginger root tea three times a day reduces bloating, gas, and diarrhea. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Despite claims that gamma oryzanol or its components increase testosterone levels, stimulate the release of endorphins, and promote the growth of lean muscle tissue, research has provided little support for these claims and has also shown gamma-oryzanol to be poorly absorbed.294 A recent nine-week, double-blind trial of 500 mg per day of gamma-oryzanol in weight lifters found no benefit compared with placebo in strength performance gains or circulating anabolic hormones. |

TIP: MANAGE STRESS LEVELS
Unmanaged stress makes indigestion symptoms worse. Exercising regularly is an effective method of reducing stress. Vigorous exercise works for some people while gentler exercises like yoga and T'ai chi work for others. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Gamma-oryzanol's cholesterol-lowering action appears to involve a combination of effects in that it increases the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids and inhibits the absorption of cholesterol.
Double-blind studies have also shown supplemental gamma-oryzanol to increase lean body mass, increase strength, improve recovery from workouts, and reduce body fat and postex-ercise soreness.
Octacosanol
Octacosanol is a waxy substance that is naturally present in wheat germ oil, rice bran, and the wax layer of many plants. | | In addition to its healthy fiber constituents, rice bran and rice oil have gamma-oryzanol, a compound that not only lowers cholesterol but exerts growth-promoting properties as well. Since brown rice contains rice bran and gamma-oryzanol, it likely possesses a cholesterol-lowering effect.
HOW TO SELECT AND STORE
You can buy rice in packages or as a bulk product. Since its natural oils do spoil over time, check the freshness date on prepackaged rice. When buying in bulk, go to a store with a high turnover rate and be sure the bins are properly covered. | | In addition to the fiber components, other \ grain components help to lower cholesterol, Rice bran contains gamma-oryzanol, a compound that only lowers cholesterol. Amaranth contains tocotrienols (a vitamin E fraction) and squalene (a fatty acid), both of which are known to reduce cholesterol synthesis. Also, diets rich in buckwheat have been linked to lowered risk of developing high cholesterol due to buckwheat's content of hesperidin, a beneficial flavo-1 noid. |

HEALTH BENEFITS
Comparable to whole wheat, brown rice is quite nutritious as far as calories, vitamins, and minerals are concerned. Whole wheat does have a greater protein content (12.6 percent compared to 8.9 percent) and fiber content (12.2 percent compared to 3.5 percent), but in terms of quality, brown rice has better protein as far as essential amino acid quantity is concerned. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Due to its ability to reduce leutinizing hormone by the pituitary and promote endorphin release by the hypothalamus, gamma-oryzanol is very effective for treating hot flashes, insomnia, mild depression, and minor anxiety in addition to lowering high cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Other important factors that make gamma-oryzanol so impressive are its antioxidant properties, its anticancer effects in animal studies, and its ability to protect against the damages of radiation and chemotherapy.
Dose: 50 to 100 mg, two to three times daily. |
