Intense research has been performed on Tocotrienol over the past 20 years.

This includes numerous investigations into cardiovascular health, cancer, antioxidants, angiogenesis, neurodegeneration, anti-aging, to name some. The status of Tocotrienol will be reviewed with respect to where the R&D has come from and where its health applications are going and how Tocotrienol is beginning to pull itself out of the shadow of its better known Tocopherol cousin.

This paper will review the potential for Tocotrienol in supplements, functional foods/drinks, cosmetics/personal care as well as in the pharmaceutical area.
