Tocotrienols in Combat: Fighting the Statin Damage Crisis
Written By:Duane Graveline, M.D., M.P.H.
Annato plant, a source of tocopherol-free tocotrienol.
When I lost my short-term memory six weeks after starting Lipitor, I immediately suspected my new medicine and discontinued the drug. At my next NASA physical, I was urged to resume taking it and reluctantly agreed, only to suffer a much worse memory loss a few weeks later. For 12 hours, I suddenly became a teenager with total recall for my high school days, but absolutely no awareness that I was a doctor, married with children and a former NASA astronaut. This began my decade of research on the subject.To my amazement, I discovered an extraordinary lack of information in my own medical community as to the true spectrum of statin drug side effects. I started a Web site (www.spacedoc.com), which has become a major message board and resource for those with statin drug-associated side effects. My four books—Lipitor, Thief of Memory, Statin Drug Side Effects, Statin Damage Crisis and The Dark Side of Statins—present the reasons for adverse effects of statins on the human body.

Vitamin E & Tocotrienols – Webinar
Explore the unique benefits of tocotrienols, the lesser known but rapidly emerging branch of the vitamin E family, with vitamin E expert Dr. Barrie Tan.
Watch Now
Since its discovery in 1922, vitamin E has been the subject of controversy due to ample confusion about its benefits and alleged harms to health. Poorly interpreted meta-analyses on just one of its eight forms – alpha-tocopherol – have often discounted positive effects of the entire vitamin E family, a collective term for four tocopherols and four tocotrienols.
Topics for the webinar include:
- vitamin E: Historical Development
- Differences in Tocopherol and Tocotrienol Structures
- Alpha-Tocopherol Interferences
- Antioxidant Functions
- Unique Functions of Tocotrienols Beyond Tocopherols
- Emerging Trends in Tocotrienol Applications
Speaker:
Barrie Tan, Ph.D., earned his bachelor’s degree in chemistry and doctorate in analytical chemistry at the University of Otago, New Zealand, and later became a professor of chemistry and food science/nutrition at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. His research expertise included lipid-soluble materials such as carotenoids, tocotrienols/tocopherols, CoQ10, omega-3s and cholesterol. He was the first to introduce tocotrienol’s benefits to the nutrition industry. He founded American River Nutrition Inc. in 1998 (which won the SupplySide Scientific Excellence Award in 2010) and developed the first-ever tocopherol-free tocotrienol product derived from annatto beans. Today, the focus of his research is on phytonutrients that have an impact on chronic, degenerative and cancer diseases.

Nutra Ingredients-USA
Nutra Ingredients-USA has written an article on the great benefits of Tocotrienol.
Here is an excerpt:
“Vitamin E is well known to consumers across the globe, but their tocotrienol-form is not. In the first part on of special series on tocotrienols, NutraIngredients-USA looks at the potential health benefits of nutrients described as “the next generation vitamin E”.
The vitamin E family
Tocotrienols are a form of vitamin E that have traditionally been in the shadow of the more popular vitamin E form – tocopherols.
Overall, there are eight forms of vitamin E: four tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) and four tocotrienols (alpha, beta, gamma, delta). Alpha-tocopherol (alpha-Toc) is the main source found in supplements and in the European diet, while gamma-tocopherol (gamma-Toc) is the most common form in the American diet…
