This product is a super strength Vitamin E!

Note: Our supplier of Tocomin SupraBio has changed a raw material of the product and has started to use a material called TocoGaia (from PhytoGaia) tocotrienol extract. As a result, it effects the color of softgels and makes them amber. The color difference (used to be yellow) is mainly due to the lower number of carotenoids in TocoGaia.

 This change was a necessary sacrifice to make a higher quality, cleaner tocotrienol product. TocoGaia is produced via multi-stage molecular distillation technology that does not involve the use of solvents or chemicals like EvNol did. Being a cleaner product, it now complies to the strict BaP/PAH requirements for EU specifications, so it is now permitted for sale throughout Europe.

 The tocotrienol levels in the product are comparable to the former EvNol material.

The only noticeable difference is the color.

Tocomin is part of the Vitamin E family. This family consists of Tocotrienols and Tocopherols (standard Vitamin E)

Tocotrienols are more bioavailable than standard Vitamin E and have the benefit of helping cholesterol levels, the skin and the heart. Clinical trials show Tocotrienols help improve heart muscle pumping.

The 22iu’s in the product are naturally occurring in the palm plant and not added to the formula.

The Vitamin E family is comprised of eight (8) chemically distinct compounds: four tocopherols and four tocotrienols - alpha, beta, gamma and delta. Tocotrienols differ from tocopherols by having an unsaturated side tail that results in significantly different biological activities.
Tocomin SupraBio® has been the subject of clinical trials for skin, brain and cardiovascular health.

Tocotrienols are one of two major subgroups of the vitamin E family (the other being the tocopherols). Each subgroup contains four structurally and chemically diverse molecules: alpha, beta, gamma and delta. While both subgroups possess powerful antioxidant properties, tocotrienols are more flexible due to their structure, and they provide benefits other than protection from oxidation. In addition, delta- and gamma-tocotrienols were shown to be most potent for various applications since their smaller size allows easier access to cell membranes to attack free radicals. 

Tocotrienols, particularly the gamma isomer, have been shown to possess cytotoxic effects associated with the induction of apoptosis in various cancers. Individual tocotrienol isomers are believed to bring about diverse apoptotic mechanisms in different types of cancer. In a new study in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, researchers compared the cytotoxic potency of alpha-, gamma- and delta-tocotrienols and explored their apoptotic mechanisms in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 and glioblastoma U87MG cells.

The study demonstrated that all tocotrienols inhibited the growth of A549 and U87MG cancer cells. The tocotrienols induced only double strand DNA breaks (DSBs) and no single strand DNA breaks (SSBs) in both types of treated cancer cells. In addition, it was shown that delta-tocotrienol possessed a higher efficacy and effectiveness of apoptosis in both A549 and U87MG cancer cells as compared to alpha- and gamma-tocotrienols. Thus, tocotrienols, notably the delta isomer, can be an alternative chemotherapeutic agent in the fight against lung and brain cancers.

Tocotrienols’ role in cancer has been demonstrated through various mechanisms such as enhanced apoptosis, reduced angiogenesis, inhibition of proliferation, enhanced immune function, reduced risk of initial cancer occurrence, and reduced inflammation.

Vitamin E has many uses in the body, such as supporting immune function, promoting eye health, and working as an antioxidant. Did you know vitamin E is also crucial for HPA axis function? Here's why:

• Vitamin E essential to steroidogenesis in adrenals and nervous system.

• Alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) increased adrenal sensitivity to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).

• Within adrenal cortex, antioxidant potency of ascorbic acid is directly related to mitochondrial vitamin E content.

• Inhibited detrimental lipid peroxidation that occurs in adrenal cortex under chronic stress.

• Shown to prevent stress-induced free-radical attack and greatly reduce other stress indices.
