i did some more research and found this...

Q:
Have you ever heard of a product called Gamma-o? Someone in my gym told me about it, saying it's like steroids. It's an extract from rice bran oil. The website claims it helps with many disorders. Any info you can give will be very helpful.




A:
This is a liquid gamma oryzanol supplement. The company’s web site doesn’t give any information on what else this product contains besides gamma oryzanol. They also make ridiculous claims about the product’s effectiveness with no supporting science. Such as, "The effects of Gamma Oryzanol are comparable to those of anabolic steroids." Another "good as steroids" scam.

Gamma oryzanol has some antioxidant activity, but as far as supporting muscle growth in any way, it does absolutely nothing.

A study titled, The effects of gamma-oryzanol supplementation during resistance exercise training, published in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition concluded, "9 weeks of 500 mg. day-1 of gamma-oryzanol supplementation does not influence performance or related physiological parameters in moderately weight-trained males."

That's the extent of studies on gamma oryzanol and it's effectiveness for helping promote muscle growth.

Like I said, it’s worthless.
