3:36 The best type of vitamin E

Today we’re going to talk about the best type of vitamin E. In nature, vitamin E always comes in a complex. The vitamin E complex is composed of four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. When I mention four, I’m talking about the four different forms (alpha, beta, delta, gamma).

The type of vitamin E that most people need more of is tocotrienols. You can very easily get tocopherols from the diet, so they usually aren’t needed in supplement form. Tocotrienols are more difficult to get from the diet.

Tocotrienols are different from tocopherols in that they are 5000 times faster at handling free radicals.

Vitamin E, in general, is a powerful lipid antioxidant, and one of the main functions is the protection of lipids. Lipids are in the cell membrane. Without vitamin E, all sorts of things can happen to the cell membranes.

Tocotrienols are like little antioxidants that are spinning extremely fast to clean up and neutralize free radical damage.

Potential benefits of vitamin E (especially tocotrienols):
• They may be anti-cancer.
• They may be cardioprotective.
• They may be liver-protective.
• They support the cell membranes of the skin, brain, nervous system, and the inside of the arteries.

Sources of tocotrienols:
• Rice (not keto-friendly)
• Palm oil
• Annatto (might be one of the best sources)

If you’re going to take vitamin E, it may be best to get the whole vitamin E complex, including both tocopherols and tocotrienols. Or you could try getting tocopherols from your diet, and get tocotrienols from a product made from annatto.
