Delta-Tocotrienol: The 21st Century Vitamin E
Vitamin E, the collective term for four tocopherols and four tocotrienols, has long been known for its antioxidant properties. While alpha-tocopherol was always the favored of the eight vitamin E siblings, it has now become apparent that tocotrienols have superior antioxidant capacity in addition to a slew of other benefits for cardiovascular, cardiometabolic, eye and cellular health, along with anti-aging properties.
In this FREE Webinar, world-expert Dr. Barrie Tan will describe the history and benefits of tocotrienol with emphasis on the most potent delta-tocotrienol, while discussing the importance of supplementing tocotrienols hours apart from alpha-tocopherol. Discover why the tocopherol-free annatto tocotrienol - highest in its delta-tocotrienol concentration - qualifies as the 21st century vitamin E ingredient for both stand-alone and adjunctive products.
 Content developed and sponsored by: American River Nutrition
Speaker: Barrie Tan, Ph.D., earned his bachelor's degree in chemistry and doctorate in analytical chemistry at the University of Otago, New Zealand, and later became a professor of chemistry and food science/nutrition at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. His research expertise included lipid-soluble materials such as carotenoids, tocotrienols/tocopherols, CoQ10, omega-3s and cholesterol. He was the first to introduce tocotrienol's benefits to the nutrition industry. He founded American River Nutrition Inc. in 1998 and developed the first-ever tocopherol-free tocotrienol product derived from annatto beans. Today, the focus of his research is on phytonutrients that have an impact on chronic, degenerative and cancer diseases.

Research with Tocotrienols shows valuable benefits in helping maintain healthy vascular and cardiometabolic integrity and help support a healthy cardiovascular system. They also help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and normal blood glucose levels in metabolic syndrome & diabetes. And studies have repeatedly shown Tocotrienols to inhibit proliferation and induce cell death in cancer cells.*

Solving the Tocotrienol Riddle |
 Dr. Richard Passwater, PhD. interviews Dr. Barry Tan, PhD. about Tocotrienols -- Health Benefits Beyond Vitamin E Activity: Solving the Tocotrienol Riddle
"Certain members of the vitamin E family of nutrients called “tocotrienols” are emerging as having additional health benefits over “conventional” vitamin E family members, the tocopherols.
Both tocotrienols and tocopherols are antioxidants, but only tocotrienols have been shown to reduce cholesterol, inhibit certain cancers and manage diabetes.
It is very exciting to know that some nutrients can actually reverse atherosclerosis by removing so-called “cholesterol deposits.” There has been some confusion about the various forms of vitamin E, so I have asked Dr. Barrie Tan to bring us up-to-date."

BREAKING NEWS -- Senator McCain Backs Away From Proposed Bill |
Where Does Dietary Supplement Bill S. 3002 Stand Today?
John Gay | Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer | Natural Products Association
March 8, 2010
Senator McCain intends to back away from enforcing S. 3002 bill as it was presented.
After a whirlwind of activity late last week, I wanted to give you an update on where things stand with S. 3002, the Dietary Supplement Safety Act proposed by Senators John McCain and Byron Dorgan.
Senator McCain has told our Congressional champion Sen. Orrin Hatch that he intends to back away from S. 3002, and work with Hatch on amendments to the Food Safety Bill (S. 510) and the DSHEA full implementation legislation. McCain will not push any of the provisions of S. 3002 that we objected to, but will support S. 510's language on recall and registration. He also will seek language pushing for new dietary ingredient (NDI) guidance from the Food and Drug Administration, and to encourage more cooperation between the FDA and the Drug Enforcement Administration. The NPA will need to keep an eye on these talks as they progress. Sen. Dorgan also is reportedly backing off S. 3002.
While McCain's shift is good news (and evidence of the effectiveness of grassroots), we should not let up our campaign, because the bill could easily be picked up by another member of Congress.
Keep in mind that things change. Thursday night we were told that McCain was soon introducing a reworked bill. By Friday morning, McCain had committed to working with Hatch. While this change is encouraging, the possibility remains that discussions could fail.
I want to thank you for your advocacy efforts so far, through your letters, e-mails and phone calls to your members of Congress, and through your efforts to keep your customers informed about this threat to our industry. Please continue to educate your legislators as well as your customers. I also wish to express our appreciation to all members of Congress who support our efforts, particularly Sens. Hatch, Tom Harkin, and Michael Enzi.
We will continue to provide you with updates about any changes to the bill's status. |
