What is Stabilized Rice Bran?
Most people know that rice is a grain and the main source of sustenance of over half the world's population. What you may not know is that 65% of the nutrition from the rice kernel is actually locked away in the rice bran, the outer 10% of the brown rice kernel that is removed during the conversion of brown rice to white rice. These precious nutrients are routinely discarded as a wasted food resource. More than 60 million metric tons of rice bran each year end up as animal feed or dumped in landfills due to an enzyme that renders the bran rancid within hours of milling, making it unfit for human consumption. This is the reason why mainstream science has always overlooked rice bran as a legitimate nutrient source.
No longer! There is a world of difference between Rice Bran and Stabilized Rice Bran.
A major breakthrough in advanced technology has created a proprietary process that stabilizes the culprit enzyme before it damages the nutrients. Once stabilization is in place, rice bran yields a cornucopia of vital nutrients never before realized in a single food. No chemicals or synthetics are used in this exclusive process.
Rice Bran Solubles is based on stabilized rice bran derivatives that are not only rich in vitamins and minerals, but also contain over 100 known antioxidants. This includes nature's highest source of Vitamin E Complex (including tocotrienols), B Complex Vitamins, and gamma-oryzanol, a powerful antioxidant found only in rice bran. It is also a rich source of phytonutrients, including phytosterols, CoQ10, and IP6.
Anatomy of a grain:
Rice, like other grains, consists of three parts: the outer bran, the starchy endosperm which makes up the bulk of the grain, and the germ, or heart. The bran and germ are the parts of the grain that provide the nutrition, and these are the parts that are removed in the process of refining the brown rice to white rice. White rice has an advantage over brown rice--it is resistant to insect infestation. It has so little nutrition even bugs aren't interested. There is nothing much in white rice, or in any refined grain such as white wheat flour, that would interest our cells either. The nutritious part, the bran, is Rice Bran Solubles.
