Designs For Health, Annatto-E, 150, 30 Softgels

Vitamin E consists of eight forms within two categories (tocotrienols and tocopherols). There are also four different tocotrienols and four different tocopherols. Each form has a slightly different structure and imparts unique properties that influence its function and effects on the body. Most conventional supplements are typically rich in tocopherols (alpha tocopherol, in particular). However, the tocotrienol forms of vitamin E have unique effects across various body systems, making them desirable for the support of many aspects of health and overall wellness.

Various common Western food sources contain vitamin E, such as wheat, rice, oats, and corn. Yet, the annatto seed is the richest known source of naturally occurring tocotrienol. Annatto is a tree native to Latin America. Annatto seeds are free of tocopherols and contain only tocotrienols in the forms of delta and gamma tocotrienols. Annatto E® contains annatto-derived tocotrienols to promote clinical efficacy in two different serving size options of 150 mg and 300 mg.

The tocotrienols in Annatto E® may support cardiovascular, skin, eye, bone, and lung health and may also promote a healthy inflammatory response. Owing to these benefits, Annatto E® may be clinically relevant to the general population. Furthermore, perhaps the best-known role of the vitamin E compound is its support of antioxidant status, which may promote healthy aging and overall metabolic health.

Although tocopherols may have beneficial effects on their own, they may potentially interfere with the clinical benefits of tocotrienols. For this reason, it may be best to take tocotrienols independently of any other supplement containing alpha tocopherols or separate the intake of each by at least 6 hours.
