Tocotrienol oil is derived from annatto, red palm fruit and rice bran, although a number of fruits, nuts, grains and vegetables have some small amounts. Like tocopherols, they’re lipid-soluble and can be transported by that portion of any formulation.

Palm oil is 100% natural and rich in antioxidant vitamin E (tocotrienols). Palm fruit oil also increases “good” HDL cholesterol, compared to other saturated oils, such as coconut oil, to promote healthy cardiovascular health. Meanwhile, the fact that palm oil is trans fat-free makes it an effective, attractive ingredient in numerous formulations.

NuTriene tocotrienols, from Eastman, are a mixture of naturally occurring tocotrienols and tocopherols extracted and concentrated from rice bran oil.
