Overview
Tocotrienols are a group of chemical compounds that are part of the Vitamin E family. While often overshadowed by tocopherols (the more common form of Vitamin E), tocotrienols possess distinct biochemical properties and are naturally found in various plant oils, such as palm oil, annatto, rice bran oil, and barley. There are four main forms: alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocotrienol, each differing slightly in their molecular structure and biological activity. Research into tocotrienols has expanded interest beyond their general antioxidant functions, exploring their potential roles in cellular health and specific physiological processes.
