Annatto-E 150mg 90% Delta Tocotrienols Antioxidant
Overview:
- Provides 150 mg total tocotrienols per capsule
- Potent antioxidant
- Maintains healthy cholesterol
- Supports cardiovascular system health
Cardiovascular: Tocotrienols have been shown to help decrease inflammation in the cardiovascular system by helping to improve parameters of oxidative stress, such as nitric oxide, MDA and CRP. The small molecular structure and lack of saturated side bonds means that tocotrienols are able to down regulate HMG-CoA reductase activity in the mevalonate pathway that contributes to cholesterol synthesis.
Antioxidant: The antioxidant activity of tocotrienols is believed to be attributed to the phenolic group in the chromanol ring (head) which contributes to an even distribution of tocotrienols in the lipid bilayer. In addition, the tocotrienols have improved surface location at the top of the lipid membrane which leads to better free radical quenching and protection for cells. Tocopherols have been shown to block absorption, increase the degradation and dilute the effects of tocotrienols.
