Tocotrienol – AstaReal

Tocotrienol tocotrienol-roundTocotrienol complex is a fractionated and concentrated extract of palm oil derived from palm fruit. Tocotrienols are naturally occurring lipid-soluble isomers of Vitamin E. There are 8 naturally occurring isomers of Vitamin E (4 tocopherols and 4 tocotrienols). Tocotrienols have 40-60 times higher antioxidant potency than alpha-tocopherol. Tocotrienols differ from tocopherols in that they have an isoprenoid (polyunsaturated) instead of a phytyl (saturated) side chain. This unsaturated side chain(or tail) contains three double bonds, which enables tocotrienols to be distributed more efficiently in the lipophilic cell membrane bi-layer. This distribution facilitates tocotrienols antioxidant properties more efficiently against free radical attack. chems Our Product: TOCOTROL™ L50 TOCOTROL™ L50P is non-GMO and is a concentrated extract of natural tocotrienols from palm with a high level of d-gamma tocotrienol, one of the most potent of the four tocotrienol isomers.
