Designs for Health Annatto-E 150mg Tocotrienols - DeltaGold Vitamin E Complex Supplement with Delta + Gamma Tocotrienols - Cardiovascular Support, Healthy Ageing + Antioxidant Defence - Non-GMO (60 Softgels)

Why Annatto? The Superior Source of Tocotrienols

The annatto seed (Bixa orellana), native to tropical regions of Latin America, is the richest known natural source of tocotrienols. Unlike palm oil, another common source, annatto contains virtually no tocopherols, making it ideal for a tocotrienol-only formula. Designs for Health uses DeltaGold, a premium annatto extract standardised to contain 90% delta-tocotrienol and 10% gamma-tocotrienol. Delta-tocotrienol is considered the most potent isoform for health benefits, including supporting normal cholesterol metabolism and antioxidant activity.*

Choosing annatto-derived tocotrienols means you avoid potential interference from tocopherols, which can reduce absorption. This purity is what sets Annatto-E apart from mixed vitamin E supplements.

What Are Tocotrienols and Why Do They Matter?

Vitamin E is not a single compound. It encompasses a family of eight fat-soluble antioxidants: four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. While most vitamin E supplements focus solely on tocopherols, emerging research highlights the unique potency of tocotrienols. Tocotrienols have been shown to be significantly more effective at neutralising free radicals and supporting cellular health compared to their tocopherol counterparts. Designs for Health Annatto-E delivers a concentrated dose of tocotrienols—specifically 150 mg of delta and gamma tocotrienols—from the annatto seed, offering a novel approach to vitamin E supplementation.

Unlike conventional vitamin E products that combine tocopherols with tocotrienols, Annatto-E is a tocotrienol-only formula. This is critical because tocopherols can interfere with the absorption and beneficial effects of tocotrienols. By isolating the tocotrienols, this supplement unlocks a higher level of antioxidant support.*

How Does Tocotrienol Compare to Tocopherol?

Both are forms of vitamin E, but their molecular structures and effects differ significantly. Tocotrienols have an unsaturated side chain, allowing them to penetrate cell membranes more efficiently and recycle more quickly. This structural advantage translates to greater antioxidant capacity and broader health benefits. Research suggests tocotrienols may be superior in supporting neurological health, bone health, and immune function.*

For individuals already taking a tocopherol-containing supplement, switching to a tocotrienol-only product like Annatto-E can provide complementary benefits without competition for absorption.

Key Benefits of Tocotrienol Supplementation

Tocotrienols, as part of the vitamin E family, contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Additionally, they are being studied for their potential role in maintaining normal cardiovascular function and supporting healthy ageing. Here’s what the research suggests:

• Antioxidant Protection: Tocotrienols help protect cells from oxidative stress, which is a factor in the ageing process.*
• Cardiovascular Support: They may help maintain normal cholesterol levels already within the healthy range and support arterial flexibility.*
• Healthy Ageing: By combating free radicals and supporting cellular integrity, tocotrienols may promote graceful ageing and skin health.*
• Liver Health: Preliminary studies indicate tocotrienols may support normal liver function and protect against fatty changes.*

Each soft gel capsule of Annatto-E provides a precisely measured 150 mg of tocotrienols, ensuring a consistent and effective dose.

How to Incorporate Annatto-E Into Your Routine

For optimal absorption, take one soft gel capsule daily with a meal that contains fat, as tocotrienols are fat-soluble. The recommended serving is one soft gel capsule providing 150 mg of tocotrienols. It is best to uses consistently as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. If you are taking blood-thinning medications or have a medical condition, consult your health care provider before starting any new supplement.
