Health benefits at a glance:

Cells are the central organism in any living thing, but few people think about protecting their body at the cellular level. 

Super-Absorbable Tocotrienols can do exactly that by protecting cell membranes and the DNA in cells against oxidative damage. Furthermore, it also contributes to overall body health by supporting healthy cell division.


Why it works:

Many people do not know that vitamin E contains eight different compounds. Commercial vitamin E supplements only focus on four of these compounds, while leaving out the other four compounds called tocotrienols, which are actually rich in therapeutic and antioxidant benefits.

Super-Absorbable Tocotrienols softgels contain tocotrienols that are extracted from red palm oil from the Elaeis guineensis tree. Because of their unique structure, tocotrienols provide potent antioxidant benefits throughout the body. The fact is that tocotrienols shield DNA from oxidative damage while protecting cellular membranes. 

Moreover, scientists have discovered that tocotrienols support healthy cell division [1] promote a healthy lipid profile [2] protect brain function [3] and even support healthy hair growth [4].

Through a highly absorbable and patented delivery system [5] Super-Absorbable Tocotrienols provides the most absorbable red palm oil tocotrienols available on the European supplement market today.


The science behind the product:

Research has shown that tocotrienols have the ability to support a wide range of organ systems such as the bones, the heart, the liver and the brain. It was found that tocotrienols play a role in promoting new artery formation, improving insulin sensitivity, protecting vital brain circuitry [6-9].

Human research reports that tocotrienol supplementation can improve the lipid profile and promote healthy levels of total and LDL cholesterol. At the same time, tocotrienols protect the lipids in the blood against oxidation which can lead to arterial damage [10-11]


How to use:
  • Take one (1) softgel two times daily with or without food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.
