May have anticancer effects

A class of antioxidants found in rice bran oil called tocotrienols may have anticancer properties. Tocotrienols appear to inhibit the development of a variety of cancer cells, including those of the breast, lung, ovary, liver, brain, and pancreas, in test tubes and on animals. Tocotrienols from rice bran oil seemed to shield human and animal cells against ionizing radiation in test-tube research. Ionizing radiation is a kind of radiation that, at high doses, can have detrimental consequences like cancer.

Tocotrienols show potent anticancer effects when coupled with other anticancer medications or chemotherapy, according to other test-tube research. Supplementing with antioxidants during chemotherapy, such as tocotrienols, is debatable. That's because there's conflicting evidence on whether doing so improves or worsens treatment. Thus, further research is required. Remember that rice bran oil shouldn't be regarded as cancer therapy.
