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.

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:
