All living things are exposed to natural radiation and substances that occasionally destroy molecules inside cells, which then act as aggressive "free radicals" and can cause a chain reaction of further destruction. Some of the oxygen we breathe also ends up in such radicals. Nature has developed protection against this. We call it vitamin E.
There are eight common variants of vitamin E. For a long time, science only looked at one of them, alpha-tocopherol. That was a mistake, because we have known for several years that the other variants have important functions of their own. In particular thetocotrienolshave important onesSignal functions, which play a central role in the development of cancer, inflammation, heart and circulatory diseases and in the maintenance of brain cells.
Tocotrienols not only have a protective effect, but they also control the transcription, the conversion of the genes via the factor NFkB. This NFkB (NF-kappaB) is the “exciter” for all cells. If it is appeased by tocotrienolsn, you can return to a normal, healthy way of life:
-
inflammation is stopped
-
Senescent cells can be activated and telomeres lengthened.
-
The cells rely on aerobic respiration with oxygen
-
the specific immune system is activated
-
The cancer natural protection in the cells (apoptosis) is made possible
This signaling effect is particularly important if the following factors have increased the “exciter” NF-kB:
-
oxidative stress (from ozone, smoke, inflammation, sport and other environmental toxins or a poor supply of vitamins)
-
Antigens (from food, environment or infections)
-
certain infections (HPV, Helicobacter pylori)
-
UV radiation (sun) or radioactive radiation
This explains why even relatively small amounts of higher tocotrienols (gamma-T3 and delta-T3) can lead to a rapid and significant return to normal, healthy body function. This often also affects unexpected bodily functions such as skin health, bone growth, hormone status, weight loss, infection defense, hair growth, blood health and brain function. Age-related frailty is also attributed to NF-kB and can accordingly be reduced by T3-tocotrienols.
If the amount of tocotrienols used is increased to around 10 times the minimum requirement (a small amount up to around 200mg), existing excitatory stimulus (as mentioned above) can also be eliminated.overwrittenbecome.
Tocotrienols penetrate the skin very well a. They only have a short residence time in the body (half-life 5-24 days). They are also non-toxic in large quantities (NOAEL 540mg equivalents). They can be extracted relatively cheaply from natural sources.
