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.

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.
