There are companies advertising Tocotrienol products with claims of their benefits, but I could find only the following two research articles.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/217...

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/229...

It looks promising. Does anyone have more information about current research?

Hi florence5

I found this paper from 2011. It shows the best results were in people over the age of 50. It all sounds very interesting, but I'm not sure how much of an effect it had. nutritionandmetabolism.com/...

It would be interesting to know if supplements work as well as natural sources of tocotrienols.
