Talking Tocotrienols

NuTriene tocotrienols, from Eastman, are a mixture of naturally occurring tocotrienols and tocopherols extracted and concentrated from rice bran oil. Eight compoundsâ€”four tocopherols and four tocotrienolsâ€”make up the vitamin E family.

Additionally, the company provides Vitamin E TPGS (d-alpha-Tocopheryl Polyethylene Glycol-1000 Succinate), a water-soluble form of natural-source vitamin E for use in water-based oral vitamin supplements at up to a 20% concentration.
