Three commonly sited risk factors may be modified with supplements of tocotrienols, a recently researched form of Unesterified Vitamin E. (1)

• Elevated Cholesterol
• Oxidized LDL Cholesterol
• Abnormal Platelet Aggregation

The tocotrienols have demonstrated significant cholesterol-lowering effects in both animals and humans. In clinical trials, approximately 75% of patients with high cholesterol levels respond to the cholesterol-lowering effects of tocotrienols. (1,4). The most dramatic cholesterol reduction is seen when these supplements are combined with dietary changes (high fiber, low fat diet), and an active life style. . The antioxidant activity of (particularly gamma tocotrienol) may prevent development of high blood pressure by reducing lipid peroxides and enhancing the total antioxidant status, including superoxide dismutase activity.(7)

Alpha-tocopherol is most often used in supplements and is the standard for measurement of unesterified natural vitamin E. Tocopherols are the dominant form of unesterified vitamin E in corn (86%) and wheat germ (72% ). (1)
E Toco with Palm oil (Tocomin@) contains the highest concentration of natural tocotrienols.(7)
Both tocopherols and tocotrienols, as well as other natural substances such as sesame seed oil, inhibit platelet aggregation without the negative side effects associated with aspirin. Tocotrienols have been shown to decrease platelet aggregation by 15% to 30%.
