RICE BRAN OIL The health benefits of rice bran oil varies from lowering cholesterol, boosting the immune system, preventing cancer, improving skin health, to promoting weight loss, relieving menopausal symptoms, protecting heart health, increasing cognitive strength, and lowering allergic reactions.

What is Rice Bran Oil? Rice bran oil is a vegetable oil that offers many advantages compared to standard vegetable oils that millions of people commonly use for cooking all over the world. Rice Bran Oil is one of the most widely available and popular foodstuffs on the planet, extracted from the germ and the husk of rice kernels. Rice bran oil is most commonly used in Asian cultures. Main Exporters are India Thailand and Japan. Mai users are Japan and China, due to the fact rice is already a staple food in their cuisines. However, rice bran oil is becoming increasingly popular in western parts of the world because of its relatively low price point and the many health benefits. Thanks to its content of vitamin E, ideal fatty acid balance, antioxidant capacity, and cholesterollowering abilities, Rice Bran Oil is getting popular worldwide, and often used in healthcare, skin care and as Dietary Supplement.

Health Benefits of Rice Bran Oil Prevents Menopausal Issues Many Researches have been conducted on rice bran oil in terms of how it affects menopausal women. More than 90% of the women who took the supplement reported a reduction in hot flashes and other irritating symptoms of menopause that all women eventually suffer from.

Controls Cholesterol Levels The World Health Organization and the American Heart Association have declared that rice bran oil has the best possible composition of monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and saturated fats compared to all other vegetable oils. Cholesterol levels in your body can be reduced because the beneficial forms of cholesterol actually inhibit the LDL or bad forms of cholesterol from bonding in the body. This can help reduce conditions like atherosclerosis and the subsequent afflictions like heart attacks and strokes.

Prevents Cancer Rice Bran Oil is a rich source of antioxidants, both in forms of vitamin E, as well as compounds such as γ-oryzanol. This Oil contains a lot of vitamin E, including tocopherol and tocotrienol, which most vegetable oils do not have. Vitamin E functions as an antioxidant, which means that free radicals in the body are neutralized..

Delays Aging Vitamin E (tocopherol) is actively connected to the health and wellness of the skin. Free radicals can attack the skin cells and increase the signs of premature aging. Rice bran oil drastically increases your levels of vitamin E, which can speed up wound healing, increase cellular regeneration, smoothen the skin, reduce wrinkles, and provide protection from sunburn.

Prevents Allergic Reactions Rice bran oil is hypoallergenic in nature. The oil will not cause any allergic reactions when used in cooking or as Dietary Supplement, and calm existing allergic reaction in the body. It can also prevent hypersensitivity to other unusual allergens.

Weight Control Although rice bran oil has high content of calories, his viscosity ensures that the food absorbs only about 20% of the oil. When less oil is absorbed, the food still retains the flavor and gets the health benefits of the rice bran oil, but the total caloric intake is less than other vegetable oils.
