Vitamin E isn't just one type! Hong Kong residents must know: the differences in efficacy and pitfalls of supplementing "Tocopherol vs. Tocotrienol".

Dr. Eric Berg explained that there is a lot of misinformation about vitamin E , with some claiming it causes cancer or poses cardiovascular risks. This is because people only see one component of vitamin E. Vitamin E is not just one type, but is divided into two main categories : tocopherols and tocotrienols .

Tocopherols vs. Tocotrienols: Significantly Different Antioxidant Capabilities

Tocotrienols have much higher antioxidant capacity than tocopherols.
Supplementing with alpha -tocopherol alone may turn it into a "pro-oxidant," causing harm instead.
Antioxidants in nature never exist in isolation; a combination of different types is necessary for them to be effective.

Benefits of Tocotrienols

Anti-cancer + anti-inflammatory : Animal studies show it can extend lifespan by up to 19%.
Neuroprotective : Helps repair brain damage after stroke and prevents Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and neurodegeneration.
Cardiovascular health : Reduces oxidized LDL , improves arterial inflammation, and reduces atherosclerotic plaques.
Enhances exercise recovery : Increases oxygen delivery capacity, suitable for high-intensity training or high-altitude activities.
Radiation protection : Military research finds ways to reduce radiation damage
Hepatitis and fibrosis : Helps slow the formation of scar tissue caused by liver inflammation.

Benefits and limitations of tocopherol

Easily ingested : Found in leafy green vegetables, seeds, nuts, and olive oil.
Numerous studies have shown that it helps protect cell membranes and reduce oxidative stress.
Weaker efficacy : its antioxidant capacity is inferior to that of tocotrienols.
Potential competitive absorption : Some studies suggest that simultaneous supplementation of both may interfere with each other (not yet confirmed).

Best source: Red Palm Oil

Contains 70% tocotrienols + 30% tocopherols
We recommend choosing the unrefined version.
It's difficult to get enough nutrients from a regular diet → it's recommended to absorb them through supplements.

Vitamin E cannot work alone.

Vitamin E needs to work in conjunction with Vitamin C to function properly.
Antioxidants can "charge" each other and cycle together.
Lacking one of them → the effect is greatly reduced

In conclusion: Don't assume that "Vitamin E = Tocopherol" anymore; choose wisely for true antioxidant benefits.

Many vitamin E supplements on the market contain only tocotrienol, which may actually cause oxidative stress. Starting today, a high-quality tocotrienol capsule, a serving of red palm oil, and an anti-inflammatory diet will help you build a strong foundation for your cell membranes, brain, and cardiovascular system!

Don't be misled by the myth that "Vitamin E = harmful." Only by knowing how to distinguish, how to use, and how to supplement can you achieve true health!
