Vitamin E is used to describe the various tocopherols and tocotrienols which make up this fat soluble vitamin which happens to be an excellent antioxidant. This type of antioxidant is able to prevent the creation of reactive oxygen species in the fat. The most important tocopherol in vitamin E is the a tocopherol or commonly known as the alpha tocopherol. This is also the most highly studied tocopherol with the most bioavailability.
NOT TRUE , its the cheapest to use in multi vitamines and a big unbalance of it is NOT good for you, its acually harmfull.
TOCO-8 is a good product.
here info on it and vitaminE:
What is Toco-8?
Toco-8 is a tocotrienol complex extracted from palm fruits (
elaies guineensis). Toco-8 supports a healthy cardiovascular system (by improving
cholesterol levels) and optimal hormone production. It is a water soluble powder for enhanced bio-availability and is designed to be mixed with your favorite beverage or protein shake. At one scoop daily, Toco-8 will last 60 days.
The tocotrienols in Toco-8 are super
powerful anti-oxidants which have been proven to have powerful health benefits for the endocrine & cardiovascular system. (2-8) Tocotrienols play an important role in increasing the "hormone production" signal from the brain to the testes, while also increasing the testes testosterone production capacity. (9-11)
Recently, our unique tocotrienol complex has been granted a US patent for its benefit at preventing hair loss and promoting hair
regrowth in individuals suffering from alopecia. In the study, all individuals supplemented with the tocotrienol complex showed a positive result, with an
average 42% increase in hair count after 5 months of treatment. We're proud to say this supplement helps grow hair fast. (1) This is a much welcomed alternative to the popular hair loss drug Finasteride, a drug which reduces DHT and contributes to a host of side effects such as libido loss, gynecomastia, and depression.

Technically speaking, Toco-8 is a natural Vitamin E supplement, but to call it a "natural Vitamin E supplement" puts it in the same category as every other generic Vitamin E product on the market. The fact is, the
natural Vitamin E found in your local supplement shop or grocery store is not natural at all. Rather, almost all Vitamin E products on the market are actually synthetic Vitamin E; a potentially dangerous and cheap byproduct of soybean oil, known as alpha-tocopherol
(Go ahead, take a look on your vitamin label). Toco-8 is actually a Natural
Complete Vitamin E Supplement.
What makes Toco-8 different than every other Vitamin E?
First, it's important to understand that Vitamin E is actually a term used to describe a family of nutrients. Most people think that there is only one Vitamin E, when in fact there are 8 different members that make up the Vitamin E family, listed below
The toco
pherol family -
- alpha-tocopherol
- beta-tocopherol
- gamma-tocopherol
- delta-tocopherol
The toco
trienol family -
- alpha-tocotrienol
- beta-tocotrienol
- gamma-tocotrienol
- delta-tocotrienol
All of them have important functions in the body and each a unique action. Unfortunately, the only form that's been readily available is the alpha-tocopherol (contained in most generic Vitamin E supplements).
The popularity of alpha-tocopherol stems from the fact that it is an incredibly abundant and cheap form of Vitamin E. In the early 1900's, during the popular time of vitamin discovery, alpha-tocopherol appeared to be the only Vitamin E utilized in the body, because it happened to be the only vitamin E easily detected in blood. (Tocotrienols tend to accumulate and protect the liver, brain, and subcutaneous tissues, while being very hard to detect in blood.) It wasn't until recently that the other forms of Vitamin E, such as the tocotrienols, began to be uncovered as very important nutrients for human health.
The irony is that most Vitamin E products claim to be "natural" because the Vitamin E is
naturally extracted from soybean oil, but then
synthetically altered to create pure alpha-tocopherol. So, we miss out on all the other forms, and end up with something very
unnatural. This creates a major imbalance. For instance, the National Academy of Sciences recently announced that supplementing with alpha-tocopherol alone depletes the body of the other members of the Vitamin E family. This is a problem because it is the "other" Vitamin E's that show the most impressive benefits for improving cardiovascular health and hair regrowth.
Most alarming, is that tocotrienols are already extremely low in Western diets, while being simultaneously depleted by the ever dominating alpha-tocopherol supplementation! Tocotrienols should be first on your list of supplements!
So what's so special about these Tocotrienols and what are the benefits?
Tocotrienols are short & slippery. That's right. Due to a unique stereochemical shape, and short "tail" in their phytyl chain, Tocotrienols have increased cellular mobility. Imagine natural tocotrienols as the "short & slippery" forms of Vitamin E that can pass through cytosol and cell membranes to impart their positive effects, rather than becoming clustered like a synthetic form of alpha-tocopherol.

You've probably heard people tell you to "get your vitamins from natural sources". Now you can, with Toco-8. That's because Toco-8 is an all natural extraction which preserves the perfect natural ratio of all 8 tocotrienols and tocopherols with a high ratio of tocotrienol content. To say that Toco-8 is superior to other vitamin E supplements would be an understatement. Toco-8 is a revolution for
vitamin supplements and male health.
The specific ratio of vitamin E's in Toco-8 offer the following unique benefits -
- Clinically proven to prevent hair loss and increase the number of hairs by an average of 42% (1)
- Proven to help reduce cholesterol while improving the HDL : LDL ratio (2-5)
- Maintains healthy artery function by reducing atherosclerotic plaque (6-8)
- Helps support testosterone production by maintaining optimum pituitary & testicular function (9-11)
