Tocotrienols (vitamin E fraction)

Tier 3 — weak evidence · Cardiovascular · Skin · Neuroprotection

A less common but potentially more potent form of vitamin E found in palm fruit, rice bran, and annatto. Emerging research suggests tocotrienols may protect the brain and heart through pathways distinct from regular vitamin E. Human evidence is still growing, with promising but preliminary results. Generally safe at recommended doses.

Dose: 100–300 mg/day mixed tocotrienols from annatto or palm; take with a fatty meal
