TOCO-3-NOL MAX contains tocotrienols, "the other half" of the vitamin E complex. Tocotrienols are many times more powerful cell membrane antioxidants than tocopherols, and research supports a role for high-dose tocotrienols in supporting healthy blood lipid balance, and may support the normal growth and development of breast cells.

Vitamin E was discovered at the University of California at Berkeley in 1922. Its early isolation from plant oils, notably corn, soybean, and olive oils, identified four compounds: alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta- tocopherols. Recently, four corresponding structural analogs of tocopherols have been discovered in barley, palm, and rice bran oils.These are termed alpha, beta, gamma, and delta tocotrienols. Tocotrienols are structurally different, having three unsaturated positions in the phytyl "tail" of the molecule. Tocotrienols represent the vanguard of novel, multi-action products with highly promising potential to safeguard health and function.
