Capsule is a health supplement containing tocotrienols. Tocotrienols are isoforms of vitamin E. They possess huge health benefits. Tocotrienols can lower lipid and cholesterol levels in the blood, huge risk factors for heart diseases. Tocotrienols act as an antioxidant and neutralize free radicals. They protect nerve cells and are vital for brain health. Tocotrienols help improve lung function in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients due to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Product Description:

Tocotrienols are four of the eight natural forms of vitamin E, alongside the four tocopherols. They differ structurally in having an unsaturated side chain, which is thought to let them move more easily through cell membranes. In laboratory studies they have antioxidant, cholesterol-lowering and anti-inflammatory activity that differs from alpha-tocopherol, the form in most vitamin E supplements.

Human evidence is limited. Small trials have looked at cholesterol, fatty liver disease, hair loss and neuroprotection with inconsistent results, and no health outcome has been clearly established. Tocotrienols are poorly absorbed and should be taken with food containing fat. High doses of alpha-tocopherol compete with tocotrienol absorption, so combining them is counterproductive. Vitamin E in high doses may increase bleeding risk with anticoagulants.

Sourcing notes. Tocotrienols come mainly from palm oil or annatto seeds. Palm-derived material contains a mix of tocotrienols and tocopherols, while annatto provides mostly delta-tocotrienol with little tocopherol, so the source changes the product. Buyers should specify total tocotrienol content, the individual isomer profile and the source. Sustainability certification may matter for palm-derived material. The oil is supplied in soft-gel capsules and must be protected from oxidation.
