Tocotrienols are part of the Vitamin E family with superior antioxidant properties including other health benefits such as neuroprotective effects not seen in tocopherols. They are naturally present in four different forms: alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocotrienols.

Tocotrienol and tocopherol have the same basic chemical structure, with a slight but important difference in the side chain. Tocotrienol has an unsaturated side chain that enables better penetration into the bodily tissues. While both are chain-breaking antioxidants, Tocotrienol’s anti-oxidative strength is 60 times more powerful than tocopherol’s. Tocotrienol is also less found in nature compared to tocopherol which is commonly found in many vegetable and seed oils.

Typically, Vitamin E supplements consist of alpha tocopherol. However, palm-based tocotrienols offer a broader range of beneficial compounds. These include tocotrienols, phytosterols (known to hinder cholesterol absorption), squalene (a potent antioxidant), and carotenoids. Studies have suggested that the combination of these phytonutrients may be highly effective in promoting overall health and well-being. Also, tocotrienols have shown stronger anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, liver protective and neuroprotective properties than tocopherol.

Yes, palm oil is one of the most abundant natural sources of Vitamin E Tocotrienols. AvantHealth took it a step further, our products are also vegan-friendly. We also work closely with the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) for sustainable extraction of this bioactive.

Consistently taking tocotrienols on a daily basis allows their effects to manifest gradually. Tocotrienols work over time to help balance the body’s ability to counter free radicals and inflammation. By combating free radicals, tocotrienols contribute to the prevention of degenerative diseases, promoting long-term health and well-being.

Yes, palm tocotrienols have received the USFDA self-affirmed Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status for use as a food ingredient. This means it can be safely used in food.

Most oils and foods contain tocopherols, but tocotrienols are found at much lower levels in nature. Palm oil has one of the highest levels of tocotrienols in nature. Tocotrienol is not present in other vegetable or seed oils, except for rice bran. However, the natural occurrence of tocotrienols is generally limited, making it challenging to obtain the levels suggested by studies solely through dietary sources. Therefore, supplementation or specific dietary strategies may be necessary to achieve the desired amount of tocotrienols for potential health benefits.

Tocotrienols is generally safe when taken according to the recommended dosage. In human trials involving hundreds of patients with diabetes, post-stroke, high cholesterol, fatty liver and post cardiac surgery – tocotrienols supplementation was safe, even with their ongoing medication. Nevertheless, it is always advisable to consult with your healthcare provider before adding any new supplements to your routine, especially if you are already taking medications for health conditions like stroke, diabetes, or hypercholesterolemia. Your healthcare provider can assess your specific situation, consider any potential interactions or contraindications, and provide personalized guidance to ensure your safety and well-being.

Palm tocotrienols supplementation is suitable for individuals of all ages. It is recommended to start taking tocotrienols from young adulthood and continue throughout life for optimal health benefits. Older adults or individuals with health concerns such as diabetes, high cholesterol, stroke, and more are strongly advised to consume tocotrienols for improved health. Tocotrienols are also beneficial for those seeking an effective antioxidant.
