General uses
Clinical trial data are often of poor methodology, making it difficult to support suggested clinical applications; however, rice bran oil and its components may have applications in high cholesterol, cancer, and dermatology.
Rice bran oil has been used in doses of up to 800 mg daily in clinical studies in high cholesterol. Purified gamma oryzanol has been used at a daily dose of 500 mg/day.
Contraindications have not yet been identified; however, use of products containing phytic acid, a chemical constituent of rice seed, is not advised in patients with poor kidney function.
Rice bran oil and extracts are considered to be very safe, with only a low incidence of minor allergic reactions reported.

However, rice bran oil has not been shown to cause mutations, or cancer in short-term animal studies. An increase in bladder cancer has been associated with exposure to the sodium salt of phytic acid,...
