Question 1

Why no tocotrienols?

Accepted Answer

Tocotrienols exist naturally in mixed tocopherols. However, they are not tested for and thus are not listed on the label. They are better suited for topical creams because they are poorly assimilated by digestion, are poorly distributed to tissues in blood and are rapidly metabolized and eliminated from the body.
