Health Benefits of TOCOTRIENOLS (VITAMIN E)

Recent Research on Palm Tocotrienols

CHOLESTEROL LOWERING EFFECTS

Inhibit cholesterol production in the liver, thereby lowering total blood cholesterol
Alpha Tocotrienol inhibit the biosynthesis of cholesterol.
Tocotreinols have been shown to suppress cholesterol biosynthesis and reduce cholesterol level
Combination of gamma - tocotrienol and alpha - tocopherol is found as a potential hypolipemic agent in hyperlipemic humans at atherogenic risk.
Tocotienols inhibit cholesterogenesis by suppressing HMG-CoA reductase

INHIBITION OF PLATELET AGGREGATION

Tocotrienols have anti- aggregation effect on blood platelets which will inhibit the thrombosis process.

ANTI- CANCER & TUMOR SUPPRESIVE

Confer anti-cancer properties
Inhibit tumour growth of certain cancers
Alpha and Gamma - Tocotrienols have shown to prolong the life span of cancer-infected mice.
Tocotrienols inhibited tumour cell growth of HELA and P388 cells in culture.
Gamma Tocotrienols is 3 times more potent in inhibiting growth of human breast cancer cultured cells than Tomoxifen.

ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES

Alpha Tocotrienol showed better antioxidant activity than alpha - tocopherol in rat microsomal membrane.
Antioxidants such as palm tocotrienols caused regression in carotid artery stenosis.
Palm oil vitamin E significantly protects against ischemia/reperfusion injury in the isolated perfused Langendorff heart.

OTHER BENEFITS

Retard cellular ageing due to oxidation
Supplies increased oxygen
Prevents varicose veins
Alleviates fatigue
Prevents external scar formation
Accelerates healing of burns li>Lower blood pressure Lower blood pressure
Aids in preventing miscarriages Aids in preventing miscarriages
Prevents deficiencies caused by excess polyunsaturated oils, chlorinated drinking water, hormon contraceptives and monopause.

MIXED CAROTENOIDS INCLUSIVE OF ALPHA AND BETA CAROTENE, LUTEIN, ZEAXANTHIN, LYCOPENE

ANTI CANCER - TUMOR SUPPRESIVE

Protects against cancer and reverses pre - cancerous lesions
Alpha carotene drastically reduced the number of tumors in an animal study of liver,lung and skin cancer.
Alpha carotene inhibited the growth of human cancer cells growth in the laboratory , the higher dose of alpha carotene , the stronger the inhibitory effect.
Eating at least 10 servings per week of tomato - based foods in lycopene reduced the risk of developing prostate cancer by nearly 45%.
Lycopene protects against cancer of the mouth,pharynx,esophagus,stomach,colon and rectum.
Lycopene mitigates the harmful effects of radiation exposure which will lead to mutation and cancer.

PROTECTS AGAINST STROKE PROTECTS AGAINST CATARACTS

The carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin showed the strongest protective affect against macular degeneration.
