BENEFITS - (Body)
Combat free radicals! Clear pollutants from cells! Promote better circulation! Rice bran is rich in antioxidants: Tocopherol, Oryzanol and Tocotrienol.
Tocopherol is a fat soluble substance, essential for human health. Oryzanol, a powerful antioxidant, is only found in Rice Bran oil. It's more effective fighting free radicals than vitamin E. Gamma oryzanol is up to ten times higher, than vitamin e, in rice bran. Tocotrienol is the most powerful vitamin E antioxidant, in nature!
Fight obesity! According to Dr. Oz, gamma oryzanol convinces cells to
burn up sugar in blood that would normally be deposited on the hips and
belly. It reduces absorption of cholesterol from foods you eat. Omega 6 fatty acids decrease the appetite and helps you feel full. Use cold pressed versions, for better health, with fewer impurities.

Rice bran is used in bar and liquid homemade soap recipes. It offers very similar qualities as olive oil. It offers creamy, moisturizing, smooth, silky, lather and at a much lower price than olive oil. Rice bran oil can cost as much as three times less than olive oil. If you're making large batches of soap, you can see why it's so popular!
