Delta-Fraction Tocotrienols 50 mg
NutriCology Delta-Fraction Tocotrienols 50 mg
High Delta Tocotrienols
Delta-Fraction Tocotrienols contains delta- and gamma-tocotrienols. Along with tocopherols, tocotrienols are part of the vitamin E family. They are important oil-soluble antioxidants, crucial to the protection of fats, oils, and cell membranes against free radical damage. Free radicals are reactive oxygen compounds generated by our normal biological processes and by exposure to ultraviolet radiation, pollution, cigarette smoke and other environmental and biological stress factors. High levels of free radicals can break down cell membranes and damage cell DNA.
Tocotrienols may potentially support endothelial functions and overall cardiovascular health in other ways, including supporting healthy levels of thromboxane, adhesion molecules, and C-reactive protein (CRP). Tocotrienols do not lower plasma coenzyme Q10, but instead increase it.
Key Features:
- Supports healthy levels of blood lipids already within normal levels
- Supports endothelial function, and the circulatory system overall
- Provides antioxidant protection of fats and lipid membranes
- Enhances blood level of coenzyme Q10
Ingredients
| Serving Size: 2 Softgels | Amount/Serving |
| Tocotrienols (as DeltaGOLD® containing 90% delta-tocotrienol and 10% gamma-tocotrienol) | 100 mg |
Other Ingredients: Rice bran oil, gelatin, glycerin, purified water.
Suggested Use
As a dietary supplement, 1 or 2 softgels one or two times daily with meals, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
Storage: Variations in product color may occur Keep in a cool, dry place, tightly capped.
More Info
Tocotrienols have been shown to strengthen arterial walls, and to support blood flow through arteries (coronary, carotid, and peripheral). Tocotrienols help prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, and some studies suggest that tocotrienols may prevent cholesterol oxidation more effectively than tocopherols. Unlike tocopherols, delta- and gamma-tocotrienols also support healthy levels of cholesterol within normal levels, including total and LDL cholesterol. Tocotrienols have an inhibitory effect on HMGCoA reductase, the liver enzyme that is critical to the rate at which cholesterol is synthesized.
Preliminary research suggests that delta-tocotrienol may potentially enhance insulin function, including insulin sensitivity. Research also suggests that tocotrienols may offer some protection from the sun’s ultraviolet radiation, working synergistically with tocopherols and helping preserve tocopherols in skin cells.
Tocotrienols occur in many of the same sources as tocopherols, such as oil from rice bran, palm fruit, barley, and wheat germ, and both tocopherols and tocotrienols occur in alpha, beta, gamma, and delta fractions. Palm and rice contain minor amounts of delta-tocotrienol, so Delta-Fraction Tocotrienols utilizes tocotrienols extracted from annatto. Annatto-derived tocotrienols are free of tocopherols, and are high in two especially beneficial tocotrienol fractions, delta-tocotrienol and gamma-tocotrienol.
