Vitamin E Tocotrienols: the next generation antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrient

Optimum nutrition is fundamental for the management and prevention of chronic disease. Vitamin E Tocotrienols are the next generation antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrient. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that was discovered in green leafy vegetables in 1922.  Vitamin E has eight different isoforms that belong to two categories, tocopherols and tocotrienols. Tocotrienols are more readily transferred and incorporated into cell membranes than tocopherols. Cellular uptake of tocotrienols is up to 70 times higher than that of tocopherols. Additionally, tocotrienols have been shown to have 40-60 times higher antioxidant activity against induced lipid peroxidation than tocopherols. This podcast aims to introduce the health benefits of tocotrienols, particularly the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Reference: McEwen BJ.
