NATURA-TEC GAMMA ORYZANOL is an active defense against ageing and damaged skin. It appears to function in the skin as a quencher of singlet oxygen, protecting human skin surfaces from lipid peroxidation due to exposure to UV light and other sources of oxidation. By stimulating the sebaceous glands, NATURA-TEC GAMMA ORYZANOL alleviates the symptoms of dryness and thus prevents dry skin and skin irritations. NATURA-TEC GAMMA ORYZANOL stimulates hair growth by protecting hairs from harmful effects of ultraviolet rays of the sun. NATURA-TEC GAMMA ORYZANOL is a naturally occurring component in rice bran and rice germ which consists of a mixture of ferulic acid esters, of sterols and triterpene alcohols. In-vitro studies demonstrate that GAMMA ORYZANOL is an organic radical scavenger and is excellent in inhibiting lipid peroxidation. GAMMA ORYZANOL is known to provide a whitening effect on the skin. Scientific studies, showed that tyrosinase activity and melanin production was inhibited by Gamma-oryzanol. It therefore improves the condition of liver spots. NATURA-TEC GAMMA ORYZANOL is soluble in oil and alcohol.
