Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Tocotrienol may protect against DNA damage Tocotrienols, the less studied form of vitamin E, may reduce DNA damage, considered an important trigger in cancer development, by about 50 %, new research suggests. Researchers from Univ. Kebangsaan Malaysia and, Golden Hope Bioganic, report that daily supplementation with tocotrienol showed greater effects in the older subjects, a sub-population with higher rates of DNA damage. " The effect of Tocotrienol is more obvious in older age, possibly reflecting a greater need for supplementation or a greater profound effect due to the larger amount of damage present, " wrote the authors, led by Siok-Fong Chin, in the journal Nutrition.
