Powerful Support forCardiovascular WellnessHelps MaintainCholesterol Levels Already in the Normal Range
Tocotrienolsare important, yet often overlooked, members of the vitamin E family,which also includes the tocopherols. Tocotrienols are superiorantioxidants to the tocopherols, with delta-tocotrienol being the mostpotent of all tocotrienols. DeltaGold® Tocotrienols derived fromannatto seeds contain approximately 90% delta- and 10%gamma-tocotrienols. Tocotrienol studies have shown powerfulcardiovascular support. Tocotrienols support the health and function ofarteries and veins, while promoting healthy circulation. Research alsosuggests that tocotrienol supplementation maintains cholesterol levelsalready within the normal range

Potent antioxidant effects
Thepresence of antioxidants in the body is necessary for optimal health.Free radical compounds form constantly within the body, either duringmetabolism or through environmental exposures. Antioxidants counteractthe often-deleterious effects of these compounds by absorbing dangerousunpaired electrons called free radicals. Tocotrienols are fat-solubleantioxidants, and work in part by preventing oxidation of thefat-containing cellular membranes and lipoproteins. While all vitamin Ecompounds have important antioxidant activity, research suggests thattocotrienols may have stronger antioxidant biological effects thantocopherols and that delta-tocotrienols may be the most potentantioxidant of the tocotrienols.
Helps maintain cholesterol levels that are already inthe normal range
Theeffects of tocotrienols have been evaluated in many human clinicaltrials, and these compounds are known to powerfully support thecardiovascular system through several mechanisms. The studies havevaried in length from weeks to years, and the number of subjects insome of the studies was 50 or more.
The strong antioxidant properties of tocotrienols are thoughtto beextremely advantageous to the health of the vascular system. Inaddition to these antioxidant benefits, tocotrienols healthfullysupport normal cholesterol biosynthesis by modulating enzymaticprocesses related to cholesterol production in the liver. By supportingcholesterol homeostasis, tocotrienols can help to maintain cholesterollevels that are already in the normal range.
A study published in 2002 by Qureshi and colleagues consistedof 90individuals who were placed on a low fat diet for five weeks.Tocotrienols were then supplemented at concentrations of 100 or 200 mgper day for another five weeks. The initiation of the low fat diet byitself had beneficial effects on a number of markers of cardiovascularhealth in the subjects. However, when the tocotrienols were combinedwith the low fat diet, the beneficial effects were much greater. Thedose of tocotrienols that produced the optimal healthful effects inthis study was 100 mg per day. The authors noted enhancements inseveral measures of cardiovascular wellness with the intake oftocotrienols. Similar results were reported in a study published a yearearlier by the same author. This study also assessed, the effects oftocotrienol intake in combination with a low fat diet.
When the four tocotrienol compounds were tested individuallyfortheir effects in animals, delta-tocotrienol had the most profoundeffect related to the maintenance of healthy cholesterol levels.Supplementation with tocotrienols by themselves appears to be morebeneficial than supplementation with tocotrienols combined withtocopherols, the latter of which appear to diminish the beneficialeffects of the former.
Several human clinical studies have shown that tocotrienolscan alsoprotect the structural integrity and function of the artery walls abenefit that, along with healthy lifestyle choices, can help tomaintain a youthful and healthy cardiovascular system. In a study of 50subjects, significant cardiovascular health benefits were observed inthe population taking tocotrienols as compared to those taking placebo.Of the several markers observed, one included a statisticallysignificant benefit related to the structure of the carotid arteries.Supplement FactsServing Size: 1 CapsuleServings per Container: 60
