Tocotrienols Protect Against Mercury Toxicity

Tuesday, April 08, 2008 - Byron J. Richards, CCN

Tocotrienols have now demonstrated superior anti-oxidant function that protects against exposure from methylmercury.  Exposure to methylmercury is primarily from pollution (coal burning releases 48 tons a year into the atmosphere) and fatty fish.  Methylmercury is a potent neurotoxin.

The new study shows that tocotrienols offer significant nerve-cell protection from methylmercury exposure, a benefit that is far superior to plain vitamin E.  Earlier studies have shown that tocotrienols are an excellent brain antioxidant as well as a great cardiovascular support nutrient.
