What are the proven health benefits of tocotrienols?
The proven additional health benefits (by over 128 research papers in human, animal models and in-vitro) are: 1. Palm tocotrienol complex has been shown by the Kenneth Jordan Heart Foundation (US) in a double-blind human study to have the ability to reverse arteriosclerosis. Palm based tocotrienols have the ability to reverse blockage of the carotid artery and hence, reduce the risk of stroke and arteriosclerosis. 2. Tocotrienols have been shown by human and animal studies to have the ability to reduce the production of total serum cholesterols. They inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA Reductase in the liver that is responsible for the production of cholesterols. Tocopherols have no effect on serum cholesterol. 3. Tocotrienols are very much more potent antioxidant than tocopherols. It has been shown by published research paper that alpha-tocotrienol is 40-60 times more potent than alpha-tocopherol in the prevention of lipid peroxidation. Delta-tocotrienol is the most potent of all the commercia
