Gamma Tocotrienol Assists Bone Strength

A new study shows that vitamin E, and in particular the form known as gamma tocotrienol Specialized form of vitamin E. Powerful antioxidant showing positive benefits for cholesterol, cardiovascular, neurological health and cancer risk reduction.¹, helps build stronger bones with better biomechanical strength.

The authors concluded, “Vitamin E supplementation, especially with the gamma isomer, improves bone structure, which contributed to stronger bone. Therefore, vitamin E has the potential to be used as an anabolic agent to treat osteoporosis or as bone supplements for young adults to prevent osteoporosis in later years.”

This new study goes along with three earlier studies lending support to the tocotrienol Specialized form of vitamin E. Powerful antioxidant showing positive benefits for cholesterol, cardiovascular, neurological health and cancer risk reduction. form of vitamin E as a superior bone support nutrient.  The earlier studies showed that tocotrienols reduce inflammation in bone² that leads to bone loss, can offset the harmful effects of steroid use³ on bones, and assist in the process of normal bone calcification⁴.

While tocotrienols are often used for cardiovascular and brain health, here we see that they are yet another wonderful nutrient for bone health.
