Before we talk about the tocopherols and tocotrienols benefits, first of all let's discuss Tocotrienols as a super nutrient.
Tocotrienols belongs to the superior members of the vitamin E family. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with anti-oxidant properties. In a perfect vitamin E family, there are two groups of vitamin E which is tocopherols and tocotrienols. Each group of vitamin E consists of four isomers (alpha, beta, gamma and delta) which sum up to eight compounds in the vitamin E family. The molecule buildings for tocopherol and tocotrienol are quite similar except that the tocotrienol tail has three duplicate bonds while the tocopherol tail has none.
Vitamine
Most often, the normal vitamin E that ready at grocery stores, health stores, or even many pharmacies, are often man-made using an inexpensive, synthetic version of alpha-tocopherol. Alpha-tocopherol is the preponderant form of vitamin E and it is found in abundance in nature. It became synonymous with vitamin E and is the main focus of research in the early years.
By disagreement you can find tocotrienols in plant oils such as coconut oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil, and rice bran oil. Other sources are cereal grains like barley, rye, oat, wheat germ, saw palmetto and prime types of nuts and grains. Palm oil is to date the richest source of tocotrienols, a superior form of vitamin E which is 60 times more distinguished than tocopherols.
A full spectrum of vitamin E (tocopherols and tocotrienols) would create a synergistic supervene that would contribute a shield-like security to our body.
