Annatto Plant - The secret of Amazon!
Annatto is a vibrant condiment derived from the seeds of the plant known as Achiote. It is also known as Bixa Orellana. It is more commonly used as a natural food coloring agent that gives yellow or orange color to food products such as dairy products, baked goods, breakfast cereals etc. The color of Annatto comes from various carotenoid pigments, mainly Bixin and Norbixin, found in the reddish waxy coating of the seeds. Annatto is also known for its medicinal properties and is used in various forms as a healing agent. Annatto has also recently been the key of the greatest Vitamin E creation ever!
Dr. Barrie Tan discovered the purest and the most potent source of Vitamin E antioxidant called Tocotrienols from the Annatto seeds. He mentions Annatto as a ‘One Plant Wonder’ in his book, ‘The truth about Vitamin E’, as it contains 100% Tocotrienols, that is, it is completely free of Tocopherols which interfere with lipid absorption and metabolism. There are four variants of Tocotrienols: Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta, amongst these, Gamma and Delta are the most effective molecules based on research.
Annatto is the only known plant-based source of active Delta and Gamma Tocotrienols, also making Annatto a supreme source of this powerful antioxidant.
Introduction to Vitamin E - Protector of Life
What are antioxidants?
Antioxidants are compounds that prevent the process of oxidation, that is inhibiting chemical reactions which release free radicals that damage the cells of our body. Dietary Vitamin E is an essential lipid-based antioxidant which is essential for protection against oxidative stress. Our body needs antioxidants just like an army needs superior weapons to fight. The right kind of antioxidants are our weapons to fight any damage to our body and support healthy aging.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is an essential micronutrient to create and sustain human life. As a powerful fat-soluble cell antioxidant, it is a strong protector against free radicals. It can work wonders if the supplement contains the right molecule. Vitamin E is highly beneficial for our foundational health specifically in cardiovascular, bone, metabolic, and skin health. Parts of it can be obtained through certain food and some parts only through dietary supplements. As we age, our body has to work harder to absorb the nutrients from daily diet. Vitamin E is an essential micronutrient which can be consumed through food, but has a low antioxidant action in a standard meal especially because a certain part of Vitamin E is most likely missing.
Vitamin E Family
The unique properties of Vitamin E make it essential for the human body–especially for our immune system and cell protection. Vitamin E is made up of two main groups: Tocopherols and Tocotrienols (lesser known). Both consist of 4 isomers each –Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta. Tocopherols have been around for a long time and can be obtained through many common foods for example, palm, rice, grains, and much more. Whereas, Tocotrienols are a more recent and important discovery.
The defense mechanism of Vitamin E Tocotrienols protects 95% of lipid cells from oxidative damage. Dr. Barrie Tan has studied both of these molecules individually and found through research that Tocotrienols have almost twice the amount of antioxidant activity than Tocopherols. However, they are missing in 99% of vitamin E supplements available in the market at present. This is because Tocopherols are much more readily available through common foods and therefore easier to make. In conclusion, we are still missing out on the 50 TIMES stronger form of Vitamin E – TOCOTRIENOLS!
Dr. Barrie Tan
Dr. Barrie Tan – The World’s foremost expert on Vitamin E – has dedicated over 3 decades on the study of Vitamin E. He discovered that Tocotrienols (especially Gamma and Delta Tocotrienols) are far more superior than the other Vitamin isomers due to their size, shape and miraculous antioxidant properties. Tocotrienols may be 50 TIMES more potent than Tocopherols based on their molecular structure alone. But the limitations came in finding a source of PURE Tocotrienols. After years of exploration and discoveries, Dr. Tan stumbled upon a unique, bright, and vibrant looking plant in the Amazonian Forest. This plant was none other than –Annatto! (Also known as the Achiote tree / Bixa orellana)
In the last two decades, Dr. Tan’s extensive research has uncovered this additional important role for the Annatto plant which continues to be a life-changing discovery for many. Annatto was found to have extremely unique antioxidant properties as a specific form of Vitamin E: Tocotrienols. This plant contains pure Tocotrienols (NO Tocopherols) which is the key to its superiority.
Tocotrienols VS. Tocopherols
If we take a look at these two components that make up Vitamin E, there are a few key major differences.
Benefits of Tocotrienols over Tocopherols
--> Tocotrienols are made up of a shorter molecular structure and therefore are light in weight and have increased mobility; they cover larger cellular surface areas and are able to penetrate into a vast number of cells due to their smaller size, making them almost 50x times more effective than Tocopherols.
--> Tocotrienols have recently been identified as a super health supplement. Previously, only alpha-tocopherols were studied and consumed but now are proven to have less potent antioxidant action than Tocotrienols based on many study results.
--> Tocopherols are commonly consumed through various dietary products in our meals such as nuts and seeds, fruits like Avocado etc, hence their requirement is met through food and Tocopherol supplementation will not help much as excess is secreted out of the body.
--> Tocopherols interfere with Tocotrienol benefits and affect the physiological functions such as absorption, resulting in a compromised cholesterol and triglyceride reduction.
--> Ideal Vitamin E supplementation should be Tocopherol free, which will not interfere with body physiology. Replacing conventional Vitamin E supplements which contain a mixture of Tocopherols and Tocotrienols or only Tocopherols with Tocotrienols is proven to show more health benefits and faster results.
A new and
superior form of
Vitamin E
We usually upgrade our electronic devices to the latest versions, so upgrading to a better and superior version
of Vitamin E is surely a reasonable step to better health. Tocotrienols are worth the upgrade!
