Top 10 Healing Traits of Tocotrienols

There’s a new superfood on the scene known as tocotrienols, tocos for short, derived from vitamin E. It can be found in such foods as rice bran, palm oil, coconut oil, barley, wheat germ, oats, and rye. Add tocotrienol powder, which tastes like creamy vanilla ice cream, to your smoothie bowl, matcha, latte, tea, or juice and let the healing begin.

HEALTH BENEFITS INCLUDE:
Smart for your heart. Tocotrienols may reduce inflammation for a healthier heart.

Reduces cancer risk. Shown to slow cancer cell growth, it’s even helped speed breast cancer cell death in the lab.

Boosts brain health. Tocos may help your brain fight the free radicals that cause inflammation, slowing the course of such ravaging diseases as Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and Parkinson’s.

Glowing skin. As a supplement or hydrating skin mask, this magical elixir improves your complexion and restores your skin’s natural elasticity. It may even help reduce wrinkles and laugh lines. Now that’s something to smile about.

Fights stress. Tocotrienols reduce acidity, which may halt gastrointestinal distress caused by stress.

Lowers cholesterol. Supplementing with tocotrienol has been shown to lower serum lipids, LDL, and total cholesterol levels.

Reduces scarring. Topical vitamin E, which contains tocotrienols, may help lessen post-surgical scarring due to its soothing antioxidant properties.

Improves metabolic syndrome markers. Diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, are caused by metabolic syndrome, which includes mid-section obesity, poor glucose metabolism, and more. Tocotrienols may help reverse some of these markers.

Prevents strokes. Stroke patients given a palm oil extract containing tocotrienols reduced atherosclerosis and the accumulation of fats, cholesterol, and other substances that restrict blood flow, leading to strokes.
