Tocotrienols, a form of vitamin E, are renowned for their powerful antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are substances capable of preventing or slowing down cell damage caused by oxidation, harmful molecules produced in the body due to environmental factors such as pollution and radiation. Tocotrienols and other antioxidants are believed to offer potential health benefits, including reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
