Gamma Oryzanol

Gamma oryzanol is a natural, fat-soluble compound made from plant sterols and ferulic acid, usually extracted from rice bran oil during the refining process. It is used in animal feeds in oil-based or encapsulated powder forms.

In equine nutrition, gamma oryzanol is found in specialty supplements, often for performance or show horses. It is included for its antioxidant properties and possible effects on hormone activity. While not essential in the diet, it may help manage oxidative stress and support metabolism.
