 Tocotrienols
- a potent form of Vitamin E naturally found in Rice Bran Solubles
Tocotrienols are members of the vitamin E family. An essential nutrient for the body, vitamin E is made up of
four tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) and four tocotrienols (alpha, beta, gamma,
delta). Chemically, vitamin E is an antioxidant. One model for the function of vitamin E in the body
is that it protects cell membranes, active enzyme sites, and DNA from free radical damage.
You may find
companies selling "Tocotrienols" powder online or in health stores. This powder is actually Rice Bran
Solubles, an essentially pre-digested fraction of stabilized rice bran, easy for your body to absorb and
containing all of the high-quality, plant-based nutrition including a high tocotrienol
component.
Riceplex Tocotrienols (Souble Rice Bran)
contains all four named tocotrienol forms (alpha, beta, gamma,
delta)
The Benefits of Tocotrienols are
many: Inhibit cholesterol production in the liver, thereby lowering total blood
cholesterol.
 Alpha tocotrienol suppresses hepatic HMG-CoA reductase activity that results in the lowering
of LDL cholesterol levels.
Tocotrienols which are naturally occurring in palm oil, have been shown to suppress / lower
plasma cholesterol in human.
Combination of gamma-tocotrienol and alpha-tocopherol is found as a potential hypolipemic
agent in hyperlipemic humans at atherogenic risk.
Tocotrienols inhibit cholesterogenesis by suppressing HMG-CoA reductase. Reverses
arterial blockage (carotid atherosclerosis), hence reducing the risk factors for cardio-vascular diseases
such as atherosclerosis and stroke. Palm based tocotrienol is the first and natural compound to be shown by
human study to have the ability to reverse atherosclerosis.
Medical human research showed that patients with confirmed carotid atherosclerosis, who
consumed 240mg of palm based tocotrienol complex per day for 18-36 months had a decrease in the amount of
cholesterol plaque in their carotid artery while those receiving placebo did not show such an effect.
Palm based tocotrienol complex protects the ApoE knockout mice against cholesterol build-up
and hence prevent arteriosclerosis. Medical study suggests that palm based tocotrienols were more
efficient than alpha-tocopherol alone in the protection of the heart against oxidative stress induced by
ischemic reperfusion. Delta-tocotrienol was significantly more potent than the alpha and
gamma-tocotrienols, in the inhibition of platelet aggregation.
Palm based tocotrienols may serve as an antithrombotic agent by decreasing platelet
aggregation significantly. Based on new scientific publication on tocotrienol and cardioprotection -
gamma-tocotrienol is the most potent for cardioprotection. (AJP Heart and Circulatory
Physiology). Based on on-going NIH-funded study and in collaboration with the Ohio State University
Medical Center - Prof. Chandan Sen has published 5 peer-reviewed papers which proved that alpha-tocotrienol
is the most potent in preventing stroke-induced injuries to the brain. Palm based tocotrienols had shown
to inhibit human breast cancer cells irrespective of estrogen receptor status. Tocopherol has no effect at
all on human breast cancer cells.
Delta - tocotrienol was found to be the most effective tocotrienols in inducing apoptosis
(cell death) in estrogen-responsive and estrogen-nonresponsive human breast cancer cells.
Confer anti-cancer properties.
Inhibit tumor growth of certain cancers.
Alpha-tocotrienol and gamma-tocotrienol have shown to prolong the life span of
cancer-infected mice.
Gamma-tocotrienol is 3 times more potent in inhibiting growth of human breast cancer
cultured cells than Tamoxifen.
Published research from the East Tennessee University and MD Anderson Cancer Center (Texas)
revealed that gamma-tocotrienol was the most potent in inhibiting prostate cancer
cells. Alpha-tocotrienol has been shown to be 40 - 60 times more potent than alpha-tocopherol as an
antioxidant in the prevention of lipid peroxidation.
Effective antioxidant in the prevention of protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation after
strenous exercise for athletes, joggers and body builders. Preferentially accumulates at the stratum
corneum of the skin. First line of defense against free radicals generated in the skin by UV/ozone rays.
Prevention of skin aging and damage by oxidative rays. Being a more potent antioxidant, the tocotrienols
neutralizes free radicals at a faster rate and hence protect tocopherols.
Protection against UV-induced skin damage and skin aging.
Tocotrienols topically applied onto the skin was found to penetrate rapidly through the skin
and the highest concentrations are found in the uppermost 5 microns.
Tocotrienol-treated skin contained Vitamin E at concentration 7-30 fold higher than control
values.
Tocotrienol augments the efficacy of sunscreens containing compounds that reduce penetration
of or absorb ultraviolet radiation.

What does RICEPLEX™ Rice Bran Solubles taste like?
Being a grain product, you will find a slightly
sweet, toasted cereal flavor. When made into a rice-milk beverage, you'll find it similar to the
milk at the bottom of your cereal bowl.
RICEPLEX™ SRB is made from the soluble
fraction of stabilized rice bran.
How do you
consume RICEPLEX™ Rice
Bran Solubles in your daily
diet?
1) Mix 4-5 ounces of water with each Tablespoon of powder (1 or
2 spoons is enough per serving)
2) Stir briskly (and a fork works better if you're not using a mixer.)
3) Let mix sit to allow the powder to fully dissolve, resulting in a 'rice-milk'.
Treat your body to one or two glasses each day ... and feel the
difference.
If you are planing on using stabilized rice
bran as an ingredient in a healthshake/smoothie, you may want to consider
using Riceplex FIBER. While this version does not fully dissolve in water, this is less of an
issue when part of a shake, and it cost significantly less, while maintaining a strong
nutrient profile.
Want More Ways to Include RICEPLEX™ SRB in
Your Daily Diet?
- Sprinkle over hot or cold cereals
- Mix into yogurt
- Stir into your ice cream
- Blend into your shake/smoothie
- We're sure you can come up with many more ways.
