Description
Annatto-E is a unique tocopherol-free, tocotrienols-only product, featuring tocotrienols sourced from the annatto tree. Annatto is the richest known source of tocotrienols, containing 100% tocotrienols (90% delta and 10% gamma isomers), with no tocopherols. Commercial vitamin E supplements are typically rich in tocopherols and low or absent in tocotrienols; however, tocotrienol fractions have unique beneficial effects across a variety of tissues that make them desirable for supporting many aspects of health. Research indicates that tocopherols- especially alpha-tocopherol - may interfere with key therapeutic effects of tocotrienols, so it may be best to dose tocotrienols alone, without tocopherols.
Features
- GROUNDBREAKING VITAMIN E - Supplements claiming to contain "vitamin E" are often only alpha-tocopherol. While alpha-tocopherol has beneficial effects of its own, it has been shown to interfere with the positive effects of tocotrienols, and it also inhibits absorption of tocotrienols. For this reason, it's best to take tocotrienols by themselves.*
- WHY SWITCH TO TOCOTRIENOLS? Tocopherol has antioxidant effects, but tocotrienol may be up to 40-60x more potent at protecting against cellular damage from harmful free radicals. This is due to its smaller and more flexible molecular structure, helping tocotrienol to be more easily incorporated into cell membranes.*
- A SINGLE, SUPERIOR SOURCE - The richest known source of naturally occurring tocotrienols is annatto, a tree native to Latin America. Delta-tocotrienol sourced from the annatto plant (Bixa orellana) have shown impressive effects in supporting overall health.*
