Gamma Oryzanol
Gamma Oryzanol is a mixture of plant sterols and ferulic acid esters that are derived from barley, corn and rice.
The majority of gamma oryzanol used in nutritional supplements is harvested in Japan. It is also known as calclate, gamma-oz, gammariza, oryzanol, oz, and thiaminogen.
Gamma Oryzanol stimulates the release of endorphins - the body's so-called "feel good" hormones. These hormones stimulate the pleasure centers of the brain, and this stimulation results in an elevation of mood.
Clinical testing suggests that Gamma Oryzanol has antioxidant activity. In fact, one study suggested that it was up to ten times stronger than vitamin E for scavenging free radicals from the body and preventing tissue damage that results from free radical action.
As a nutritional supplement, gamma oryzanol has become popular among athletes and bodybuilders because it may boost strength, increase muscle gain, reduce body fat, speed recovery and reduce post-exercise soreness. Elevated testosterone levels are thought to be responsible for these effects.
