Before we discuss the benefits of Tocotrienols, we will first tak about Tocotrienols as a nutrient.

Tocotrienols belongs to one or two groups of molecules belonging to the Vitamin E family. There is another group called tocopherals- called tocols.

There are four natural tocotrienols called alpha, beta, gamma, and delta). They have unsaturated isopronoid or farnesyl side chain with three double bonds. Most of the vitamin E that one normally purchases at a local store, grocery store, or even many health stores, are often made using a cheap, synthetic version of alpha-tocopherol.

Where can Tocotrienols be found?

By contrast Tocotrienols can be found in plant oils such as palm, rice bran oil, palm kernel oil, and coconut oil. Cereal grains like barley and rye, and vegetable oils such as canola, cottonseed, olive, peanut, safflower, soybean, and sunflower contain tocotrienols. Corn oil however, has the least amount of them all.

Some benefits of Tocotrienols

Tocotrienols may have antioxidant properties. They may reduce cholesterol, and they are maybe anti-carcinogenic, as well as immuno-modulatory in action. They also have hypolipidemic effects, and may inhibit breast cancer and other malignancies.

Many studies have shown that tocotrienols may help cardiovascular system health and improved functioning relating to this.

Let us show you an example; it may help prevent atherosclerosis, which is a hardening of the arteries that may eventually lead to greater plaque buildup, this has been known to trigger off heart disease and even heart attacks.

Studies have shown that tocotrienol can lower total cholesterol (by 8% in one such study) and even reduce LDL levels (this is known as the "bad cholesterol").

Tocotrienols are also needed for the health of cellular membranes, which may help prevent blood clotting, protectones lungs against outside pollution, and can help with boosting immune function.

There are also more benefits of tocotrienol, although they are in no way concrete or confirmed, such as helping protect against types of cancer, in particular, breast cancer. These are more speculative because only animal, not human, subjects have been used...and some of them were only test tube studies, which in no way confirms the above, but it still may show promise as an aid in the future.

It will be interesting to see what future research has to say about the possible health implications for cancer and if this nutrient can serve as an aid.

Precautions should be taken when supplementing with tocotrienols. Any one, wh
