Tocotrienol and Familial Dysautonomia Berish Rubin starts his day like many chareidi men. He wakes up before 7 a.m., rushes off to shul to daven Shacharis, followed by a shiur, and returns home briefly before commuting to work. His cell phone is set to ring daily at 1:23 p.m., to remind him to get ready for the 1:40 p.m. Minchah. After Minchah he heads back to work. All typicality ends here, mostly due to the fact that Dr. Rubin loves his job and has a driving passion which does not allow him much time to rest. Knowing that Jewish children and families need his assistance, it is his feeling that every day makes a difference.

Tocotrienol Webinar on Natural Products Insider Unknown to many, the tocotrienol subfamily of vitamin E possesses powerful properties that are not exhibited by tocopherols. A considerable fraction of today’s nutritional community assumes that vitamin E is synonymous with tocopherol. The reality is that natural vitamin E includes at least eight chemically distinct molecules, and an expanding body of evidence supports that these are functionally unique. Surprisingly, alpha-tocopherol was found to interfere with tocotrienol’s unique benefits, confirming the need for nature-sourced, tocopherol-free tocotrienol products. In this Webinar, world-expert Dr. Barrie Tan will decode the confusing and contradictory information on vitamin E, elucidating the highly active tocotrienols with emphasis on benefits of the most potent delta- and gamma-isoforms: cholesterol-reduction, cancer inhibition and mechanisms, antioxidant status, bioavailability, and eye benefits. Newest pre-clinical and clinical studies will be discussed… Tocotrienol Webinar on Natural Products Insider

Annatto Tocotrienols, Reshaping the Vitamin E Landscape With obesity and diabetes numbers soaring, and cardiovascular deaths ranking number one worldwide, it is clear that a shift in healthcare is necessary.

Vitamin E Component Dramatically More Effective at Supporting Heart Health Vitamin E is often thought of as a single entity. However, it is a mixture of both tocotrienols and tocopherols, two forms of the same vitamin. Scientists have found that although both tocotrienols and tocopherols are similar, they work differently in the body. In fact, the newest research indicates that even though both forms possess antioxidant activity, tocotrienols are superior to tocopherols in ways essential to good health. Furthermore, evidence indicates that tocotrienols are absorbed better than tocopherols1 and that alpha-tocopherol (the most common form of Vitamin E supplementation worldwide) blocks absorption of tocotrienols,2 compromising tocotrienols’ ability to maintain healthy cholesterol levels and sustain the integrity of nerves… “Annatto Tocotrienol: Vitamin E Component Dramatically More Effective at Supporting Heart Health” on Vitamin Research Products

Annatto Tocotrienol Significant Role in Blood Sugar Control The rate and prevalence of type 2 diabetes, especially in adults, is increasing at an alarming rate.1 Many factors are involved in the development of type 2 diabetes, and some have been more extensively studied than others. Recently, medical interest has turned to a pre-diabetes condition called metabolic syndrome, also called syndrome X or insulin resistance syndrome. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome, a major causative factor both in the early development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, is becoming alarmingly widespread.2-4 According to the American Diabetes Association about 41 million people in the United States, ages 40 to 74, have pre-diabetes.5 In addition, there is the increasing prevalence of childhood obesity,6 which contributes to the subsequent development of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Thus, there is an urgency to identify cost-effective solutions for metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance that are safe, efficacious and complimentary to current treatments… “Annatto Tocotrienols: Their Significant Role in Blood Sugar Control” on Vitamin Research Products

Tocotrienols as Anti-Chlamydials A while back, Dr. Stratton had sent me a few articles about tocotreinols. Periodically I get a slew of articles from him frequently without explanation in the email. I kind of take it as a test; it brings me back to my grad school habits, that my job is to figure out the significance of them to this whole Cpni project. I don’t think that he is trying to test me, but rather the Cpn links are obvious to him as he is so expert in the biochemistry and microbiological details. It doesn’t always occur to him that others may lack the advanced degree to discern his train of thought! Red (Dan), who has had conversations with Dr. Stratton regarding Cpn and rosaceai, has similarly reported having conversations with the good doctor where he has missed half the information just scrambling to take notes and keep up. “Tocotrienols as Anti-Chlamydials” on CPNhelp.org

The 21st Century Vitamin E? Vitamin E—the golden capsule, our most potent fat-soluble antioxidant—has a secret. It turns out to be a many-faceted nutritional gem, with a highly specific form called delta-tocotrienol that offers profound cholesterol-lowering properties, potent cardiovascular benefits, and in laboratory studies, verifiable anticancer effects. In new research, delta-tocotrienol proved 40 to 60-fold more powerful as a free radical scavenger than alpha-tocopherol, the most commonly available Vitamin E in supplements… “The 21st Century Vitamin E?” In Allergy Research Group’s Focus Magazine
