contains Vitamin E Tocotrienols, Vitamin B Complex, Lipoic Acid, Essential
Fatty Acids, Essential Amino Acids. The Gamma Oryzanol found in rice bran has
a positive effect on blood lipids and metabolism; it is a natural replacement for
anabolic steroids that helps build muscle. Also found in rice bran is CoEnzyme
Q10 and phytosterols, 12%-13% oil, various antioxidants, and ferulic acid.
Ferulic acid enhances the activity of antioxidant enzymes, making it an important
anti-aging supplement. Rice bran also contains a high level of dietary fibers (beta-
glucan, pectin, and gum). Rice Bran (which includes the germ) accounts for 60%
of the nutrients found in each rice kernel. Mix rice bran with wheatgerm 50:50

tastier than either alone.
