Tocotrienols - You will not find much about tocotrienols on T.V.  or Wikipedia. The reason is because the story of Tocotrienols would wake the public up to the fact that most of the so called health information is designed to send you back to the traditional medical paradigm.  But the story of Tocotrienols is very much relevant to your health and if you are not aware you may become injured.

We do not give any medical advice, diagnose, treat or cure any health condition.  If you have a particular concern about your health we strongly advise you to discuss it with  you qualified health care provider before taking any action.

Tocotrienols are members of the Vitamin E family of compounds.  It is essential to the body which means that the body does not make it.  Therefore, it must be absorbed through digestion.  If you have trouble absorbing fats you will become deficient in Vitamin E.

There are two branches of Vitamin E, Tocotrienols and Tocopherols.  Within these two branches are Alpha, Beta, Delta and Gamma varieties.  That means there are 8 forms of Vitamin E.  While the diffrences between Tocotrienols and Tocopherols may seem slight, the actaul impact on the body and in health are significant.  Delta and Gamma Tocotrienols are particularly powerful and useful in the body.  However, extraction of these two forms of Tocotrienols is much more complex and expensive.

To date there are only three sources of Tocotrienols. Delta is by far the more active form of the Vitamin E family.  The natural sources of Vitamin E are: Palm plant, Rice and the  Anatto bush.  Of the Vitamin E in Rice and Palm, 30% is Tocotrienols.  70% is Tocopherols.  Anatto is Tocopherol free. 100% of the Vitamin E in the Anatto Bush is Tocotrienols.  Tocotrienols have a lower atomic weight than Tocopherols and can cover a larger surface area than the Tocopherols.  This distinction is important because d-Tocotrienol provides the body with many health benefits in the absence of Tocopherols.  In other words, in the presence of Tocopherols the benefits of Tocotrienols will be negated and can even lead to an increase in blood pressure. 

This research has been documented by Dr. Barrie Tan, Ph.D as well as others.

"Tocotrienols are powerful antioxidants that are part of the Vitamin E family. They were only discovered in 1964, but it wasn’t until the early 1980s that their ability to reduce cholesterol was discovered. Today we know that they also protect against the damage to brain cells and help to prevent cancer.

Their antioxidant properties are far more powerful than Tocopherols, the antioxidant that is found in most Vitamin E foods and supplements. Not surprisingly its discovery was called a major breakthrough in natural health.
Vitamin E is one of the most powerful antioxidants on the planet. It helps prevent many diseases including cancer and heart disease. Yet surveys indicate that 93% of the American population don’t consume enough Vitamin E in their diets.

Tocotrienols vs. Tocopherols

Recent studies have shown that tocotrienols are effective in preventing cancer and reducing cholesterol levels. They have the ability to lower the formation of tumors and prevent or reduce damage to DNA and cells. Pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, skin cancer and prostate cancer: scientists have found that tocotrienols are effective in the fight of all these types of cancer. 

They deliver many times more antioxidant activity than tocopherols. The reason is their chemical structure. They have a smaller head and a smaller tail and therefore, are able to move around faster and more efficiently. 

How Do Tocotrienols Work?

They work by neutralising free radicals that attack your body. Free radicals are caused by many things, including pollution, herbicides, smoking, eating fatty food or drinking sugary drinks. A build up of free radicals in your body can cause illness and major health problems.

Unfortunately, tocotrienols are not widely available in our diet. Small amounts are found in rice, coconut, and palm oil. Annatto seeds on the other hand have been found to contain large quantities, but they are more difficult to get hold of. 

However, there is a nutritional supplement produced by Kyani that contains tocotrienols derived from annatto seeds. So, if you want to take advantage of the major antioxidant benefits, it is recommended to include Kyani Sunset supplement in your diet."
