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.

The same Vitamin E Tocotrienol oil Dr. Tan will be discussing.
Our UNIQUE E® Tocotrienol contains the highest concentrates of tocotrienols at 125 mg per softgel capsule.
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.*

Vitamins, Minerals for Brain Health |
Vitamins, Minerals for Brain Health
3/3/2010
Certain vitamins and minerals play critical roles in brain functioning, and consumers are often deficient in them, opening an opportunity for supplementation. In an online article, Jimmy Brownen explained the importance of focusing on key major vitamins and minerals to support brain function and deal with deficiency symptoms, which can manifest in conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Vitamin E, for example, plays a significant role in preventing the onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease by reducing oxidative stress in the brain. While several foods such as almonds and vegetable oils contain vitamin E, selecting a supplement with mixed tocopherols can supply a range of the healthy fat-soluble nutrient. Similarly, vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, fighting free radical damage and possibly delaying conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.
The B vitamin complex supports the health of the neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin. B12 assists in the formation of myelin, which protects the nerve sheaths; folic acid can reduce the body’s level of homocysteine, which can damage the brain in large amounts; and B6 plays a critical role in the formation of dopamine and serotonin.
On the mineral end, one of the most important macro nutrients is magnesium, which works to protect nerve cells from potentially toxic substances (neurotoxins).

Tocotrienols From Plants Fight Breast Cancer |
Tocotrienols From Plants Fight Breast Cancer

Tocotrienols, a member of the Vitamin E family, have been well known for their cardiovascular protective abilities. Now a new study has shed light on its ability to fight breast cancer cells and tumors.
Specifically in its 'gamma tocotrienol' form, a study utilizing mice showed that a healthy consumption of tocotrienols inhibited the introduction of live breast cancer tumors implanted into the mice. The tocotrienol compounds stopped the spread of the dangerous cancer cells, and furthermore caused the death of the cells within the tumor simultaneously.
Although these are not the first ever studies showing the effectiveness of tocotrienols against breast cancer, they are the first to report on the actual process by which the anti-cancer compound accomplishes the feat.

A.C. Grace Company NOTE: Newer tests have shown that a tocopherol-free Tocotrienol from the Annatto Bean shows cancer cell fighting benefits as well as helping with many other issues. Tocotrienols help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Research indicates that they may also contribute to improving vascular and cardiometabolic integrity and help support a healthy cardiovascular system and normal blood glucose levels in pre-diabetic health.
The Annatto Bean results in a multi-E formulation high in delta-tocotrienol with gamma-tocotrienol that has shown to focus on specific, targeted, condition specific areas of concern. Read about A.C. Grace Company's UNIQUE E Tocotrienol here:

Tocotrienols are Effective Bone Builders |
Tocotrienols are Effective Bone Builders
Thursday, February 25, 2010
Byron Richards, CCN
A new animal study compared the effectiveness of various forms of vitamin E in the quality of bone formation. The study found that gamma tocotrienol was the best form that supported multiple aspects of bone integrity during the process of normal bone formation.
The experiment involved male rats that were fed a diet bolstered with plain vitamin E (alpha tocopherol), delta tocotrienol, gamma tocotrienol, or control (olive oil). After 4 months the animals were sacrificed and the quality of their bone architecture was analyzed. While all forms of vitamin E showed better quality bones compared to the control group, the gamma tocotrienol group was best.
This study indicates the possibility that regular consumption of tocotrienols will assist in the ongoing process of bone remodeling, supporting higher quality bone formation.
