Originally thought to be a single chemical compound,[2] it is now known to be a mixture of ferulic acid esters of phytosterols and triterpenoids, particularly cycloartenyl ferulate, 24-methylenecycloartanyl ferulate, and campesteryl ferulate,[3] which together account for 80% of γ-oryzanol.[4]

Uses

edit

γ-Oryzanol has been used in Japan for menopausal symptoms, mild anxiety, stomach upset, and high cholesterol.[5] It is still approved in China for this use.[6] However, there is no meaningful evidence supporting its efficacy for these purposes.[5]

In the United States, it is sold as a sports supplement, but existing research does not support the belief that it has any ergogenic or testosterone-raising effects.[7]
