Tocotrienols: The ultimate shield against ROS and atherosclerosis
Excerpt
Fighting oxidative stress at the source: tocotrienols are a game-changer if...
It’s the head (chromanol ring)—and not the tail—of the tocotrienol that sacrifices itself in the presence of ROS. If the alteration occurs on the chromanol head, the isomer can continue to move and will be recycled or restored in the presence of Vitamin C; the alteration is thus temporary if...
A systematic review published on PubMed (NCBI) confirms that delta- and gamma-tocotrienol are the two most potent isomers for suppressing endothelial activation and inflammation via the NF-κB pathway. [1]
However, it is often recommended to combine at least two forms—for example, 80% alpha-tocopherol and 20% gamma- or delta-tocotrienols.
