For most of earth’s history, the majority of nutrition in rice, the nutrition in the bran and germ, was “inaccessible” — completely locked up inside the germ/bran.

Rice is the most important food crop in the world. Yet, for most earth's history, mankind could not access the most valuable nutrients of the rice kernel, namely the rice germ and bran. That's because separating bran and germ from the white part of the rice kernel causes rancidity in the bran and germ to occur in about four hours (unless cooked or chemically treated). Unfortunately, cooking or chemically treating the bran and germ also destroys the nutrition. A little over a decade ago, a method was discovered for separating out the germ and bran from the remainder of the rice kernel without cooking or chemicals, thus preserving the fragile nutrition in the rice germ and bran!

This non-destructive separation technique has been perfected that prevents rancidity from occurring. The result is that single spoonful of Ricatein supplies more assimilable, balanced, food-form, health-improving nutrient tools than your body may have ever had access to before. Your body can use the fabulous nutrition that was previously locked up in the rice to heal itself.

So, for the first time in the history of man, rice’s tremendous nutrition is available without having to eat all the carbohydrates in the whole rice kernel. Previously, a person would have to eat a many pounds of white rice to equal the nutrition in a single serving of Ricatein.

This picture shows paddy or whole rice kernels next to white rice kernels. The kernels appear to be about the same size, because the brown part of the rice kernel makes up just 8% of the mass of rice kernel. Interestingly, that 8% contains two thirds of the total nutrition of rice. The brown part of rice is 20 times more nutrient dense than the white part.

This begs the question, why don't we care more about this nutrient dense part of rice?

Rice is the most commonly eaten food in the world. It's very nutrient rich, growing in fertile soils and soaking up the sun's energy with which to make phytonutrients. Yet, most of rice’s nutrition is in the brown part that is routinely discarded. And, when people do eat the more nutritious “brown” rice, they cook it — destroying virtually all of the tremendous, but fragile nutrition in the germ and bran.

1. Paddy, or unmilled rice doesn't store well. It goes rancid in a few months, while milled, white rice will store for many years. Because it stores so well is the reason that most people eat white rice.
2. Since most people only eat the white part of rice, with the brown part being discarded, mankind is not accessing the tremendous phytonutrients and antioxidants that the sun, water and soil have put into bran and germ of rice. This is a huge and sad waste. But, until Ricatein was discovered most of the nutrition of rice was always wasted.
3. Unfortunately, when people do eat the whole rice (IE, brown rice), they routinely destroy the potential nutrients through cooking. Most of the fragile nutrients in the brown rice are inactivated by cooking. Of course, the carbs aren’t killed. They will still be assimilated perfectly. But, how many carbs does a person need?
4. In past ages of history, carbs were always needed... because people worked extensively and used up many thousands of calories daily in their labors. But, today is a different time. If you’re like most people, you’re overfed on carbs, but underfed on nutrients. And, that's the reason to add Ricatein to your daily diet.

The Great Need of Modern People Is Not Calories, But Rather Today's Need is Nutrients

• Here is a blowup of a Rice Kernel showing the bran and germ from which Ricatein comes. The bran and germ of the rice kernel contains nearly 70 percent of rice’s total nutrients, but comprise only 8% of the mass of rice.
• Most people in the industrialized part of the world get plenty of calories/carbohydrates, i.e., fuel. We are, in fact, virtually always overfed on calories.
• At the same time, however, we are almost without exception underfed in terms of nutrients, the building blocks that maintain our cells in good operating condition.
• Since the white part of the rice contains most of the calories and the brown part contains most of the nutrients it would be desirable to separate these two parts and focus our efforts on eating more of the nutrient dense bran and germ.

A Breakthrough Discovery Allows The Brown Part of Rice to Be Separated From the White Part Without the Onset of Rancidity

During the 1980s, while visiting rural India, researcher Patty Mayhew noticed that when Indian children became sick, Indian mothers would rush to rice mills and obtain freshly discarded rice millings, mix these discards in water and feed it to their children, who would then often quickly recover. She learned that this procedure had to be done immediately, within just a few hours, or else the rice millings would become rancid and unusable. When she came back to the U.S. she and her team worked tirelessly to create a way of preventing the onset of rancidity in rice bran that had been separated from the white part of the rice. Her team found that the culprit was the lipase enzyme which would cause the bran to be destroyed. They found that cooking or chemical processing could stabilize the rice bran but would also destroy the very nutrition they were trying to access. Finally, she and her team were able to perfect a non-destructive method for stabilizing the rice bran so it wouldn't go rancid. This process involves mechanical extrusion of the rice germ and bran, breaking the lipase enzyme which causes the onset of rancidity. So, now, the nutrient dense portion of the rice kernel could be separated without rancidity occurring, and the shelf-stable product, Ricatein came into existence.

For vitamin pill takers, take note that because Ricatein is a food, rather than a vitamin supplement, it contains numerous natural vitamins and other nutrients that man-made supplements can NEVER furnish. Laboratories cannot match nature in furnishing balanced nutrition.

How Ricatein Is Made

Ricatein is a granulated powder that is extracted from the outer layer of the paddy rice kernel in a three step process.

1. The germ and bran are stabilized by fracturing the lipase enzyme that otherwise causes rancidity. The fracturing is done in a proprietary mechanical extrusion process (like homogenization) with correctly sized holes through which the bran and germ are pushed.
2. Insoluble fiber is removed via water filtration.

Potential Mechanisms of Action of Ricatein

• It is believed that Ricatein helps turn fat into energy using natural lipolytics
• It is believed that its large amounts of sterols help the body to correctly process and reduce bad LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.
• It is believed that Ricatein helps cells more efficiently utilize blood sugar by repairing damaged Insulin receptors (thus lowering Insulin resistance). It is considered a safe food for diabetics and those with hypoglycemia and has been endorsed by the Diabetes Research Institute.
• Is believed that Ricatein is is of great value in terms of slowing down aging by combating one of the main causes of aging — namely free radicals because of its numerous antioxidants (over 107 antioxidants in Ricatein help to quench free radicals).
  • Furnishes over 100 antioxidants, including tocotrienols, slowing the aging process, by absorbing many of the more than 100,000,000,000 oxidative hits that the normal human body encounters each day.
  • The least active tocotrienol antioxidant is 40 - 60 times more potent than vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) and some of tocotrenol compounds in Ricatein have over one hundred times greater antioxidant activity than pycnogenol®
• It is believed that the essential fatty acids in Ricatein, in combination with its many sterols, help produce and balance hormones and help protect the skin from wrinkling.
• It is believed that Ricatein helps bolster energy, muscle power and stamina due to its highly absorbable super B vitamins like ferulic acid and Pangamic acid (the latter became well known as the Russians' secret athletic performance booster, and it's naturally occurring in Ricatein).
• It is believed that the totality of nutrients combined with the cell-healing Gamma Oryzanol compounds in Ricatein both stimulate and enable healing of the many tissues of the body. The most common anecdotal report we get about Ricatein is in regard to skin conditions clearing up, including scarring, psoriasis, eczema, dry hard skin, etc.

Five Important Facts to Remember About Ricatein's Ability to Heal

1. Each 12 gram serving of Ricatein has the nutrition from one pound of original paddy rice, but only 61 calories.
2. Ricatein is Uncooked. Cooking destroys many delicate nutrients, which is part of the reason that Ricatein is so “healing” and nourishing to the body’s cells.
3. The body knows how to use the nutrients in Ricatein because it is food, not synthesized vitamins. Laboratory synthesized vitamin isolates present a challenge to the body because they are incomplete or unbalanced which creates additional work for the body, which must scavenge the need balancing nutrients in order to use the vitamins.
4. Ricatein helps the body to utilize fuel better. It helps move sugar molecules into cells and out of the blood, thus helping to lower blood sugar. This makes it a great food for diabetics, hypoglycemics or people with energy crashes and mood swings.
5. Ricatein is particularly nourishing to two particular parts of the body... the skin and nerve/brain cells. The reason is that the skin is constantly attacked by free radicals (the skin being the first defense system the body has against the world). Ricatein has over 100 distinct antioxidants. And antioxidants work best in teams. Ricatein is a great antioxidant team all by itself. The second reason is that Ricatein is a cell proliferant, that is it helps cells repair themselves more quickly. This is so important with slow-repairing nerve and brain cells.

Why and How Can Ricatein be Problematic for Some People

1. A very few people in this world (less than one out of a million) are allergic to rice. They need to avoid Ricatein.
2. Ricatein can dramatically lower blood sugar. If you are taking medications for blood sugar, you may need to lower blood sugar medications, so please work with your health professional.
3. Ricatein kills fungi. It contains natural anti-fungal chemicals since it naturally grows in wetlands where mold can thrive. Therefore, you may have Herxheimer reactions (die-off from fungi), which can be uncomfortable. Again, please proceed slowly to increase your dosage and/or work with your health professional.
4. It contains very few calories (61) so it can be eaten as a part of a virtually any diet regimen. But, is not a substantial source of calories for persons who are trying to consume more calories.
5. Ricatein is a dry powder, hence, it may tend to dry out the stool unless you drink extra water.

How to Use Ricatein in Your Daily Life

Ricatein tastes great no matter how you eat it (or drink it). Some people eat it from a spoon. It has a taste in between ground-up nuts and malt. Others add several tablespoons to a smoothie, bowl of breakfast cereal, yoghurt, or mix it into no-bake desserts. The only wrong way for taking Ricatein is to cook it.

We recommend amounts as follows:

• Infants — 1 to 2 teaspoons from one to four times per day.
• Children — 1 tablespoon from one to four times per day.
• Adults — 2 to 4 tablespoons from one to four times per day.

Taking it more than once per day is very useful for healing and keeping blood sugar stable, while taking one serving a day is recommended for health maintenance.

Endorsements by wellness professionals are not scientific proofs. They are opinions. You must not rely on anyone’s opinion, that is not your own health professional. But, opinions are still nice, they give you a starting point for your own research and discussions with your health advisor. Click here to listen to an audio presentation by some of the health professionals below.

Dr. Mark Drucker, M.D. and Director for the Center for Advanced Medicine in Encinitas, California, states

“As a family physician and the medical director of the Center for Advanced Medicine, I'm in a great position to help patients who are sick and tired of being sick and tired. While most doctors still practice medicine with the goal of just suppressing symptoms (they have accepted the disease as part of their patient), I've tried to take a more holistic approach. Hypocrites, the father of medicine, said, "Nutrition shall be your medicine." So, at the Center, we use nutritional products to restore the body's biochemical balance, and we draw on the expertise of different specialists, such as chiropractors and massage therapists, to help people feel better.

For a long time we used different combinations of vitamins and minerals, all which had been synthesized in a laboratory. But what we really wanted to find was a natural food product that could achieve better results for our patients. Ricatein was our answer. When we began using Ricatein, we found that its nutrients are absorbed directly into the bloodstream, bringing fast results.

Our patients using Ricatein make steady progress. There are also fewer allergic reactions because it's a natural food with no additives. Many of the chronic illnesses that we see are the result of improper membrane function. A membrane acts like a fence - it keeps your cow and horses separated. When it's not working right, allergies, high blood pressure, and other problems can get even worse and you general health degenerates.

Essential fatty acids are critically important, yet these are the nutrients people are least likely to have in their diets. People need the fat found in fish and cold-weather oils such as flax, sesame, and canola oils. However, the fat most people eat is not essential fat. It's commercial hydrogenated fat, the kind in chips, crackers, and fast food, and is like putting diesel fuel in a gasoline engine - it doesn't work. And if people are not ingesting the right kinds of fats, their bodies don't have the ability to convert commercial fat into essential fats like Omega 3, Omega 6, and Omega 9. Products like Ricatein provide these essential fats.

It's a matter of getting back to basics. I learned all about nutritional medicine back in medical school, but I'm only beginning to realize its full importance to a persons health. Today's medical industry is based on a pharmaceutical approach - doctors take the easy way out by giving people drugs. If the medical profession would go back to thinking about the nutrients the body needs to function properly, we should all be more careful to incorporate nutrition and look at the whole picture of a patient's health, and use nutritional knowledge to help a patient get started on the road to better health.

Ricatein improves my patients' health because it is a whole food that contains a symphony of nutrients.”

Dr. David Nelson, ND, nutritional consultant for the Center of Advanced Medicine in Encinitas, California says

“Ricatein is the result of a specialized processing of rice concentrates and extracts. It's a superfood that provides the most nutritious complex available. It has 107 antioxidants, including tocotrienols, which have been found to be six thousand times more effective than vitamin E. The product is yeast-free, starch-free, and sugar-free, and its arsenal of antioxidants and fatty acids help boost energy and stamina and help regulate blood sugar.

We have athletes using this product as well as individuals with hypoglycemia and diabetes. Because Ricatein is a food instead of a drug or supplement, there's no danger of overdosing on its antioxidants or its other substances. In fact, we need these nutrients. If we're eating right, we get them from our food. But sadly, most Americans eat the standard diet of refined sugars, refined carbohydrates, and refined flours. They're not getting the necessary complex sugars and complex grains - most people don't even know what millet and whole-grain rice are. Therefore, they're not getting much in the way of nutrition, especially antioxidants.

Ricatein provides the nutrition and protection that our diets often don't and because it's a water-based, soluble product, it allows for faster, more complete absorption. This benefit is critical for individuals who experience fatigue and low energy as a result of poor absorption. Ricatein gets into the system and immediately provides the body with nutrients.

Everyone wants more energy, more stamina, and less fatigue. Because we don't always receive these benefits from our diets, we often turn to coffee or other stimulants. Here is where Ricatein can be so helpful. It gives us natural support so we don't have to take stimulants of any kind. Instead of riding a roller coaster all day, our energy level stays more stable. We can be more productive throughout the day and need less sleep at night.

Here at the Center for Advanced Medicine in Encinitas, California, we have recommended Ricatein to literally every patient We rely on the more natural health benefits that Ricatein provides as we try to find the root causes of disease With this product nobody is left out. People who are seriously ill or even those who are just bothered by a few allergies find it useful. It helps everyone from children to senior citizens. Ricatein is even safe for pregnant women.

We all need Ricatein because of the way we're eating. It especially benefits vegetarians, who often find it difficult to get all the nutrients they need. It takes a lot of discipline to follow a vegetarian program correctly, so we try to educate vegetarians. We typically recommend Ricatein to them as a complete food complex.

Ricatein is a food - a complete food - safer than any other product on the market. It's a benefit to everyone.”

Dr. Michael G. Samuels, D.O., Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine in Fort Worth says

“I was happy to learn that scientists had finally found a way to stabilize the bran. As I see it, the greatest benefits of this product are that the rice bran's nutrients can now be easily absorbed by the body and the product is palatable - even tasty. This matter of absorption is essential. You can take all the vitamins you want, but if you can't absorb and distribute them where they're needed, they're useless.

Before I use any product in my practice, I test it first and check the patient's blood using a powerful, darkfield microscope, we take blood samples a couple of times a day. It didn't take but five days of this testing for Ricatein to impress me. Blood cells that showed marked signs of nutritional deficiency were improving greatly in those few days.

I gave some of the product to a couple of my patients and told them to call and tell me what they thought of it. Both called me back with great results. In fact, one man is in a nursing home, and he's doing so well on Ricatein that he's got almost everybody in the nursing home on it. Some of the most dramatic results I've seen with this product are in older people. If a patient is fifty-five years of age or older, I automatically put them on the product to establish a nutrient baseline. Elderly people need the better absorption of nutrients that Ricatein offers.

I treat a lot of people who, for various reasons, have nutritional deficiencies. I feel my job is to teach people how to take care of themselves so they don't have to be dependent on a physician. I want them to know how to keep their internal houses clean. Nutrition is the key and because Ricatein is so easily absorbed by the body, it's proving an integral part of my educational and treatment programs.”

Dr. K. George Kelly has been a chiropractic physician

Dr. K. George Kelly has been a chiropractic physician for nearly ten years. He is board certified in chiropractic internal disorders. Dr. Kelly served for many years as a qualified medical examiner. The following endorsement of Ricatein was published in in “Health News” on the front page. He says, "Ricatein consists of perfect chains of essential fatty acids, trace minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants, which, because they're in perfect ratio, are absorbed into the body - not as bits and pieces, but as whole organic structures. These structures then repair different organ systems on the cellular level!

People in America and around the world face a serious challenge today, finding a dietary food supplement that will give them everything they need. There are so many supplements available, people often get confused and have no idea what to take. I believe that Ricatein will take care of all of these issues and give people results that they can feel almost immediately. I believe that everybody should seriously consider taking this product.

Ricatein is having a profound effect on all kinds of people - from those with debilitating diseases to those who want to bring their health to a higher level".

Dr. Steve Lutes is a medical epidemiologist and anthropologist. He says in regard to Ricatein:

“I’ve been using Ricatein for five years and it's the single best nutritional supplement ever to come along. I’ve introduced Ricatein to many hundreds of other people with moderate to serious health challenges and watched as they experienced truly life changing results."

Dr. Joe Hymer is a deceased medical doctor from Castroville, Texas.

We include his endorsement since he was one of most passionate voices for Ricatein and because he passed away from causes unreleated to nutritional deficiency. He was an avid user of Ricatein for many years. He taught everyone who would listen about Ricatein saying:

“For the past 50 years, every major rice growing country in the world has searched for a way to stabilize the bran, but without success. A major break through in extrusion technology has now unlocked the means to stabilize the rice bran while maintaining and enhancing its nutritional value. The stabilization is accomplished without the use of chemicals or any additives. The rice bran has been transformed into one of the most valuable food resources ever discovered. I personally and many of my patients love Ricatein and its many benefits."
