- Tocotrienols exhibit powerful antioxidant activities that protect the cell membrane to extend the lifespan of cells. Antioxidants are the cells’ first line of defence against lipid peroxidation and free radical damage. Free radicals attack the cell membranes and DNA, more commonly affecting the cells of the brain, immune system, liver, heart, prostate, and other organs. Antioxidant protection for these cells helps maintain the function of their organs even during old age.
- Tocotrienols support vascular health and functions. The antioxidant protection from these members of the Vitamin E family is beneficial for the protective layer of the blood vessels, which promotes effective relaxation. Additionally, tocotrienols were found to improve blood levels of the beneficial HDL or the good cholesterol. The actions of tocotrienols for the blood vessels offer positive effects for total cardiovascular health, reducing the risk for hypertension, atherosclerosis, Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), hypercholesterolemia, and heart attack.
- Tocotrienols are also found to reduce the negative effects of oxidative stress to the brain and cognitive functions. Clinical studies on the ageing brain revealed that it can benefit from antioxidants like tocotrienols in preserving brain functions and preventing memory decline. Using Vitamin E supplements to increase blood tocotrienol levels support mental performance.
- Tocotrienols promote healthy hair and skin. Vitamin E has long been famous for its benefits for a healthy and younger looking skin. It is used as an active ingredient for a wide range of skin care products clinically proven to moisturize and maintain the skin’s suppleness.

Like Vitamin B complex, Vitamin E is composed by a family of vitamins – the tocopherols and tocotrienols in their alpha, beta, gamma, and delta forms. Most of the time, Vitamin E refers to the tocopherol group. But recent studies suggest that the tocotrienol group of vitamers possess more active antioxidant properties compared to the tocopherols, making it the more beneficial forms of Vitamin E. In fact, of all studies about the benefits of Vitamin E, only approximately 1% accounts for the actions of tocotrienols. However, since it gained fame in the 1980s, the findings have been overwhelming. Tocotrienols are gaining spotlight because of their ways of promoting health for the heart, blood vessels, brain, skin, hair, and other organs that tocopherols cannot. Doctors Best Tocotrienols featuring SupraBio is a specialised tocotrienol supplement. It is formulated with a full-spectrum Vitamin E complex from palm oil with self emulsifying properties to ensure efficient absorption.
