Health Benefits of Rice Bran
More than 180 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes. Over a million people a year
will die from it.
US Patent # 6,303,586 B1 2001 was issued for stabilized rice bran as a Supportive Therapy
or Diabetes, Hyperglycemia, and Hypoglycemia and US Patent #6,350,473 B1. 2002 was
issued for stabilized rice branas a Method For Controlling Serum Glucose because it was
shown to reduce blood glucose levels, glycosylated hemoglobin levels and improves insulin
synthesis in Type I and Type II diabetic subjects. Taking 2 daily doses of stabilized rice bran
for 8 weeks was shown to reduce fasting serum glucose by 10-33%. Other studies confirmed
that stabilized rice bran positively controls and manages blood glucose levels in diabetes
mellitus.
B Complex Vitamins, Gamma Oryzanol, Protein, Complex Carbohydrates, Chromium,
Polysaccharides, Hemicelluloses, Fat, Fiber, Tocopherols, Tocotrienols and Antioxidants are
all found in stabilized rice bran and are known to play a significantly positive role in glucose
metabolism.
This is not only good news for diabetics, but for anyone struggling with Hypoglycemia,
Hyperglycemia, Insulin Resistance or Syndrome X. Many people report that consuming
stabilized rice bran reduces sugar cravings, and the mood swings that come from raising andlowering blood sugar through dietary habits.
Lower Cholesterol & Prevent Heart Disease
Hundreds of millions of people have high cholesterol, increasing their risk of developing
cardiovascular diseases such as Arteriosclerosis, Atherosclerosis, Stroke, and Heart Attack.
Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in the U.S., Australia, India and Malaysia and
it is rapidly increasing throughout Asia. More than 17 million people die each year from
cardiovascular disease. People with fat around their waists have the greatest risk.
Lowering your cholesterol can lower your chances of dying from heart disease and stroke,
but the cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) that doctors prescribe can have dangerous side
effects. A safer, more natural way to lower cholesterol is to modify your diet with products
like stabilized rice bran. Studies have shown that fiber, fatty acids and nutrients in stabilized
rice bran are effective at lowering serum cholesterol and triglycerides.
3 US patents (#6,126,943, #6,558,714 B2, & #6,733,799 B2) have been awarded for
stabilized rice bran as an effective "Method for Treating Hypercholesterolemia,
Hyperlipidemia, and Atherosclerosis."

Several of the nutrients found in stabilized rice bran, such as Fiber,, Carotenoids,
Phytosterols, Omega 3 and Inositol Hexaphosphate (IP6), are known to play an important
role in anti-platelet aggregating, and lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels. These and
other synergistic mechanisms have been shown to: lower LDL and increase HDL; decreasefat and cholesterol absorption; increase excretion of fat, cholesterol and bile acids; reduce
blood pressure; reduce triglycerides; inhibit platelet aggregation; inhibit formation of aortic
streaks; increase competitive binding by plant sterols; inhibit HMG CoA reductase; and
inhibit phopholipase A2, thromboxane B4 and prostacyclin production. CoQ10 has been
shown to have positive effects on both blood pressure and cholesterol and to improve energy
in the heart muscles. It also helps to stabilize palpitations.
All of these functions work together to reduce your chances of becoming a stroke or heart
attack victim.
Boost Immunity to Prevent Degenerative Disease & Premature Aging
Abnormal cells, bacteria, and viruses proliferate in our bodies all the time, but normally the
immune system annihilates them before they have a chance to develop into illness, disease or
cancer.
The immune system is a complex network coordinating the activities that protect us from
harmful microbial invaders (bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites) and stop abnormal cell
proliferation. This system protects us from all types of illness and disease. But it can be
weakened by nutritional deficiencies, prolonged illness and inflammation, and by the
carcinogens, dangerous metals, poisons, toxins and stress we are exposed to every day.
When a person has a weakened immune system, even a simple cold or flu can escalate and
become a life-threatening illness. Having a strong immune system is the best defense against
illness and disease. Nutritionally strengthening and supporting the immune system is
essential, especially after the age of 50 because the bodys natural defenses decline with age.
Sterols and Sterolins (found in plants) are great immune supporters. They help the immune
system stop cancer, kill bacteria, destroy viruses and slow down the aging process. They have
also been shown to keep patients infected with the HIV virus from developing AIDS.
Stabilized rice bran has high concentrations of Sterolins and Phytosterols that have
demonstrated potent antiviral and antibacterial effects.
Stabilized rice bran also contains the following immune system helpers:
Polysaccharides (known to improve immune function)
Gamma Oryzanol and other phytonutrients that increase immune response and reduce pro-

inflammatory cytokines
Omegas 3, 6 & 9 fatty acids and Tocopherols & Tocotrienols that have been shown to
suppress auto anti-DNA antibodies
CoQ10 which is a known immune booster routinely recommended as part of the treatment
for people suffering from: Cardiovascular Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Muscular Dystrophy,
Cancer, Diabetes Mellitus, Infertility, AIDS, Asthma, Thyroid Disorders, and Periodontal
Disease
Alpha Lipoic Acid which is extremely effective against oxidative stress and free radical
destruction.
Lower Cancer Risk
Cancer is now the leading cause of death globally. It is estimated that cancer will kill 84
million people in the next ten years. While the causes of cancer are complex, it is well known
that certain things can lower the risk of getting it. The most important recommendations are
to avoid toxins and eat healthy foods. Stabilized rice bran has many nutrients that are known
to help protect against cancer.
Studies have shown that Sterol/Sterolins and Omegas 3, 6 & 9 can increase natural killer
(NK) cell activity and act as a potent immunomodulator for the treatment and restoration of
immune dysfunction.
Gamma Oryzanol (Ferulic acid) is known to be anti-mutagenic. Inositol, IP6, Polyphenols,
Fiber, Tocotrienols and Antioxidants are all known to be anti-carcinogenic. Polyphenols and
Tocotrienols have been shown to inhibit Phase 1 microsomal enzymes, and the lipoprotein
fraction of stabilized rice bran has been shown to inhibit abnormal cell proliferation.
Numerous epidemiologic studies reported an association between high fiber intake and
reduced incidence of colon cancer and breast cancer. A 1992 study by researchers at Harvard
Medical School found that men who consumed only 12 grams of fiber a day were twice aslikely to develop precancerous colon changes as men whose daily fiber intake was about 30
grams. Scientists theorize that insoluble fiber adds bulk to stool, which in turn dilutes
carcinogens and speeds their transit through the lower intestines and out of the body. 12
studies found a link between high fiber intake and reduced risk of breast cancer. In the early
stages, some breast tumors are stimulated by estrogen circulating in the bloodstream.
Scientists believe that fiber may hamper the growth of these tumors by binding with estrogen
in the intestine, preventing it from being reabsorbed into the bloodstream.
IP6 has been shown to exhibit significant anti-cancer activity and to inhibit tumor cell growth

in colon, intestinal, and liver cancers. Carotenoids (including the Alpha Carotene, Beta
Carotene, Lutein, Lycopene, Zeaxanthin and Precryptoxanthin/Cryptoxanthin found in
stabilized rice bran) offer powerful protection against many different types of cancer.
Lycopene in particular has been associated with lower rates of prostate cancer.
Pangamic Acid (B15) has shown to have a unique ability to release a type of cyanide only at
cancer sites, thereby destroying cancer cells while at the same time, nourishing non-
cancerous tissue.
Free radical damage accumulates and increases with age. It has been implicated as a
causal factor in almost every health disorder and disease including: Acne, Alzheimers,
rthritis, Cancer, Chronic Inflammation, Heart Disease, Infertility, Parkinsons,
Premature Aging, and Stroke.
Stabilized rice bran contains over 120 antioxidants cofactors and catalysts
that can protect your cells from being damaged by free radicals. Antioxidants are like cellular
bodyguards. They take the bullet when a cell is attacked so cellular damage is avoided.
Vitamins C and E are well known defenders, but scientists have discovered even more potent
antioxidants such as CoQ10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPCs),
SOD, Tocopherols & Tocotrienols (TOCOLS), IP6, Glutathione, Carotenoids, Selenium,
Phytosterols, Gamma Oryzanol, Lutein and Lycopene. Stabilized rice bran contains all ofthese and more!
ntioxidants act as cellular bodyguards
Antioxidants can work independently, but they work better in teams. Having a broader
spectrum offers more complete protection because each antioxidant works differently and
oint effort creates synergy. Some antioxidants even resuscitate one another when they get
wiped out by free radicals. Stabilized rice bran contains all of these synergistic battle
buddies. According to antioxidant expert, Dr. Lester Packer, literally thousands of studieshave confirmed that antioxidants can help prevent numerous diseases and will not only
enhance life, but in all probability extend life. The research on antioxidants has actually
yielded mixed results. If free radicals run amok, the result can be devastation and disease, but
if all free radicals are wiped out, the immune system cant use their destructive force to wipe
out foreign invaders. There needs to be an intelligent balance.
Since we dont fully understand how antioxidants and free radicals dance together, the best
solution, according to Barry Halliwell and other scientists, is to stick with eating healthy
foods that contain a broad spectrum of naturally occurring antioxidants and their cofactors
-

because the body knows exactly what to do with them and how to discard them.
Stabilized rice bran was recently found to have the highest ORAC value (Oxygen Radical
Absorbency Capacity) when compared to 28 other well known high antioxidant fruits, nuts
and vegetables. It was also shown to have the highest lipophilic to total ORAC value (evenhigher than avocado!). This is biologically significant because fat-soluble antioxidants (with a
high lipophilic score) can stay in the body longer than water-soluble antioxidants and can
penetrate cell membranes more easily.
Stabilized rice bran has an impressive spectrum of both fat-soluble and water-soluble
antioxidants so it protects your cells inside and out. All of its antioxidants come with their
synergistic cofactors and catalysts, so it offers superior defense against cancer and other
degenerative diseases. One of the most powerful antioxidants in stabilized rice bran is Alpha
Lipoic Acid which is both water and fat soluble. It can penetrate and protect every cell of the
body and it naturally boosts the bodys production of Glutathione a major cellular
antioxidant. Studies have shown that Alpha Lipoic Acid definitely protects red blood cells
and fatty acids from oxidative damage and protects cells from UVA damage.
Improve Gastrointestinal Health
Some people say you are what you eat. But everything you eat doesnt get digested,
assimilated and utilized. You are what your cells can absorb! Intestinal health helps to ensure
that the nutrition you consume actually has a chance to do its job in your body. If your colonis blocked, your pH balance is off, and your intestines are overrun by harmful bacteria,
nutrients cant get where they need to go.
Fiber is one of your digestive systems best allies. Numerous studies have found that diets
high in fiber and low in saturated fat are associated with a reduced risk of certain cancers,
diabetes, digestive disorders, and heart disease.
Doctors and scientists recommend an increase in fiber for disease prevention and treatment of
the following: Heart Disease, Constipation; Cancer (especially of the colon), Hemorrhoids,Diverticulitis, Hernia, Varicose Veins, Obesity, Diabetes, and Hyperlipidemia. But experts
say that most adults only get about half the fiber they need to prevent type II diabetes, heart
disease and other problems.
The suggested minimum intake of fiber is about 14 grams for every 1000 calories consumed.
Men need 30-38 grams per day and women need 25-30 grams per day preferably from
whole foods. Most children today are only getting about 20% of the fiber they need each day.
That, along with poor diet, helps to explain why there is an epidemic of children developing
type II diabetes before they reach their teens.

There are two important types of consumable fiber. Soluble fiberforms a gel in the digestive
tract and slows down the digestion of carbohydrates so that sugar is released and absorbed
more slowly into the bloodstream. This is the type of fiber responsible for lowering
cholesterol and regulating blood sugar.Insoluble fiberpasses through the intestines intact. It
attracts and absorbs water which can speed up bulk and promote regular bowel movements. It
also helps to remove toxic wastes and maintain optimum the pH needed to maximize
digestive function and help prevent colon cancer.
Stabilized rice bran naturally contains both soluble and insoluble fibers. It can help to
maintain overall health and keep bowel movements regular. It can offer welcomed relief
and health support to people suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Irritable
Bowel Disease (IBD) and has been shown to naturally improve gut micro flora and to reduce
colonic adenomas by 51%.
Lose Weight-Burn Fat
Obesity, which is strongly associated with higher health risk and increased death rate, is
rising in every age group in every country and is considered by the World Health
Organization to be a dangerous global epidemic putting tens of millions of people at risk.
One of the reasons bodies hold onto fat is because of the starvation instinct. If you arent
getting complete nutrition, your body thinks it is starving and increases your appetite while
holding onto your fat. Stabilized rice bran gives you a wide spectrum of nutrition that canhelp calm this instinct. Stabilized rice bran also helps with weight management through
mechanisms that regulate blood sugar, detoxify the colon and metabolize fat.
Gamma Oryzanol has been shown to have a positive effect on blood lipids by burning fat,
mobilizing stored fat and increasing lean body mass. Alpha Lipoic Acid is called the
Metabolic Antioxidant because of its ability to assist in the metabolizing carbohydrates and
fat. It is thought to decrease fat storage and aid fat loss through the natural elevation of
glutathione levels and the mediation of insulin and leptin (a hormone that helps regulate body
weight and fat deposition). Stabilized rice bran is also rich in natural magnesium which has
been shown to protect against metabolic syndrome, and improve metabolism.
Detoxify
Environmental pollution has reached alarmingly epidemic proportions. The environment is
thoroughly contaminated by dangerous chemicals and heavy metals.Billions of pounds of
toxic chemicals are dumped into our air and water every year. Because the earth is a closed
ecosystem, the worst effects can occur thousands of miles away from the source.
Toxic particles can work their way into our bodies through food, air, and skin. When you eat,
you ingest toxins from pesticides, artificial colors, flavors and preservatives. When you
-
8/2/2019 Health Benefits of Rice Bran Oil

breathe, you ingest toxins from pollution. When you touch things, chemical residue enters
your pores. All of these can contribute to respiratory damage, heart disease and cancer. Most
homes are toxic because clothing, cookware, carpets, furniture and fabrics are routinely
coated with dangerous chemicals. Cleaning products, construction materials, dental fillings
and medical vaccinations all contribute to toxic overload.
Poisons and heavy metals in the environment dont necessarily pose an immediate threat
(unless youre super-sensitive or heavily exposed). The hidden danger comes
fromaccumulation. Its not one particular chemical or metal you need to worry about; its
being constantly exposed to a myriad of toxins that can build up in the body. When this
happens, your natural disposal systems become overloaded, your organs become affected,
and your immune system can get overwhelmed.
Since its virtually impossible to avoid toxins in todays modern world, its critical that we do
everything we can to quickly remove them from our bodies and minimize the damage they
can do.
Stabilized rice bran can help in two ways. First of all, the high fiber content helps to remove
toxins through safe and speedy elimination. It also scrubs the intestinal walls to get rid of
putrefying waste that can block nutrient absorption and poison your system. Secondly, the
potent antioxidants and nutraceuticals found in stabilized rice bran help to combat the
damaging free radicals that toxins produce. Some of stabilized rice brans components are
known to be particularly detoxifying.
Research has shown that Alpha Lipoic Acid is good for cleansing the liver of chemical
poisons. German Physicians have been using Alpha Lipoic Acid since the 1960s to treat
Diabetic Polyneuropathy and Liver Cirrhosis. The treatment was later extended to heavy
metal intoxication, toxic mushroom poisoning and oxygen related diseases. Alpha Lipoic
Acid is believed to be a good metal chelator because of its easy absorption into the
intracellular environment and its ability to complex metals that were previously bound to
other sulfhydryl proteins. It is known to chelate (bind and remove) mercury, cadmium, andlead. Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorous and Inositol Hexaphosphate (IP6) are also known to
act as heavy metal chelators.
Improve Liver Function
Besides being a general body detoxifier (which eases the burden on the liver) stabilized rice
bran has nutrients that are specifically helpful to liver function. Inositols, Phosholipids & B
Complex Vitamins are known to detoxify the liver, control liver cirrhosis and improve liver
cell regeneration. Tocotrienols, Gamma Oryzanol, and other antioxidants also play a
protective role in the liver.

Increase Energy
One of the most common effects people report after taking stabilized rice bran for a few days
or weeks, is increased energy. This is most likely due to its nutrient density and the presence
of energy boosting phytonutrients like CoQ10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and B vitamins includingPangamic Acid.
CoQ10 is a compound found naturally in virtually every cell of the human body, but supplies
dwindle as we age. It is a vital for energy metabolism and electron transport in the
mitochondria and it serves as an effective intercellular antioxidant. CoQ10 improves energy
in the heart muscles, It provides the body with the energy it needs to rebuild and repair,
remove cellular waste and toxins, and defend itself from infections.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is also crucial for energy production in the cells. It is routinely used byathletes to increase energy and improve glycogen storage in the muscles. Pangamic Acid
(B15) has been found to increase oxygen in the cells and is used to increase the endurance,
stamina and speed of Russian athletes.
Reduce Headaches & Improve Mental Function
Stabilized rice bran has a myriad of nutrients that can help to keep you pain free and
performing at your best even under stress.CoQ10 has been shown to reduce migraine
headaches by 50%, reduce fatigue, and alleviate mental tiredness. Alpha Lipoic Acid
strengthens memory and helps prevent brain aging. The B vitamin family is known to reduce
mental fatigue, calm the nervous system, and alleviate stress. Potassium helps mental
function by sending oxygen to the brain. Phosphatidylserine has been shown to improve
memory, concentration and focus. Detoxification helps with every aspect of health. When
you get rid of toxins, everything works better including mental function. Stabilized rice
bran offers a perfect combination of detoxifying agents and brain boosters.
Reduce Symptoms of Menopause
Gamma Oryzanol has been shown to reduce the occurrence of hot flashes, night sweats and
other climacteric complaints of menopause by 85%! Tocotrienols, CoQ10, Omegas 3 & 6,
and Phytosterols all help to ease menopausal symptoms.

Decrease Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are one of the most common disorders of the urinary tract. They develop when
crystals build up in the urine. Large stones can block urine flow and cause extreme pain!
The most common kidney stones are made mostly of calcium, but the problem is not thought
to be caused by calcium in the diet. In fact, two studies at Harvard University found that a
diet high in calcium-rich foods actually loweredthe risk of developing kidney stones in both
men and women. Scientists now know that the problem isnt having calcium in the body, its
having calcium that makes stones instead of bones! Vitamin K has been shown to play an
important role in making sure that the calcium in your body does more good than harm. It
moves calcium out of the bloodstream and gets it into your bones. Inositol Hexaphosphate
(IP6) has been shown to inhibit urinary calcium oxalate crystallization.
Build Bones & Reduce Osteoporosis Risk
Stabilized rice bran contains naturally occurring calcium, magnesium and other trace
minerals that are essential for building strong bones.
Improve Eyesight
Stabilized rice bran contains both Lutein and Zeaxanthin which have been associated with
improved vision and a decreased risk of macular degeneration and cataracts. Some studies
have also shown that in some cases, Lutein has even helped reverse the damage caused by the
macular degeneration. Essential fatty acids Omegas 3, 6, & 9 and Folic Acid are also known
to promote eye health.
Enhance Natural Beauty
The most beautiful bodies radiate from within. You literally ARE what you eat! If you
want eyes that sparkle and youthful glowing skin, the best beauty enhancer is good water and
good nutrition! Stabilized rice bran contains a full spectrum of beauty enhancing nutrients
including CoQ10, E vitamins, and B vitamins including Biotin, which are well known for
creating beauty from within. It also contains GABA (Gamma Amino Butyric Acid) and
Squalene which are also essential for shining skin and healthy hair growth. The high
antioxidant profile and rich nutrient density of stabilized rice bran make it a great food for
daily detoxification. When toxins are eliminated, your skin stays clear and vibrant rather than
clogged, pimply, or dull.
