Oryzanol A CAS NO.11042-64-1

Oryzanol is a rice bran oil derivative with two major active molecules, Sterol and Ferulic acid. Gamma Oryzanol has effects on the body's endocrine system resulting in increased metabolism of fat and increased synthesis of protein, leading to increased lean body mass.

Oryzanol might reduce cholesterol levels by reducing absorption of cholesterol from foods.
Oryzanol is also often promoted for treating menopause, but it is unclear how it would work for this use. Some researchers suspect it might be helpful due to effects on luteinizing hormone (LH). However, this effect has not been shown in people.
