At the end of 2007, you were the first to read about the rediscovery of vitamin Es wonderful twin. This twin — tocotrienols — is a superior form of vitamin E. And it works wonders for unclogging arteries and lowering cholesterol. Now theres evidence this powerful nutrient can protect your DNA.
Scientists conducted a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study on 64 healthy adults (aged 37-78). They divided the participants into two groups. One took 160 mg daily of the tocotrienols and the other group took a placebo.
After six months, the researchers took blood measurements for markers of DNA damage. The measurements showed the tocotrienols significantly reduced these markers — especially in those over the age of 50.
We are all at risk of DNA damage, just by living. Its a major cause of aging. And tocotrienols can prevent this damage.
I like the formulation by NutriCology called Delta-Fraction. This particular fraction comes from the annatto plant and has more activity than other fractions. Please see the December 2007 issue on my website for more details. It is available by calling 800-791-3395 or at www.advancedbionutritionals.com.
