Palm Tocotrienols - Super Vitamin E Tocotrienol Complex of the 21st Century

Tocotrienols are natural fat-soluble vitamins related to the family of tocopherols (the Vitamin E that you are familiar with). The term Vitamin E is now considered to be a generic name comprising of both the tocopherols and the tocotrienols. However, tocopherols and tocotrienols are distinguished by their side chains. While tocopherol has a saturated phytyl tail, tocotrienol possesses an unsaturated isoprenoid side chain.


Why You Need Full-Spectrum vitamin E?
Health conscious people have taken alpha tocopherol (standard vitamin E) supplements for decades, but emerging evidence demonstrates the need to obtain all the different fractions of vitamin E, including gamma tocopherol and the tocotrienols.
Some of the benefits that scientists have attributed to the tocotrienols include:

• Antioxidant effects 40-60 times higher than alpha tocopherol
• Life span extension of 19% in one animal experiment
• Reversal of carotid atherosclerotic stenosis in humans
• 50% reduction in protein degradation in animals
• Significant reductions in total and LDL cholesterol in humans
• Reduction in cancer incidence of 83% in one animal study
• Killing cancer cells and improving survival in cancer-stricken animals
• Inhibiting proliferation of human breast cancer cell lines in culture
• Suppressing apolipoprotein B, triglycerides and other cardiovascular risk factors
