Daily Super E™ is an effective supplement for cholesterol metabolism, arterial health, bones, skin, brain health, and reproductive health. It contains special tocotrienol forms of vitamin E, which offer far greater benefits than standard vitamin E. Daily Super E™ sets the gold standard for vitamin E supplementation.*
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant and has been studied extensively as it relates to reproductive, neurologic, cardiovascular, and immune system health. Of the eight naturally occurring forms of vitamin E, four are tocopherols (alpha, beta, delta, and gamma) and four are tocotrienols (alpha, beta, delta, and gamma).
While d-alpha tocopherol is the most common, the tocotrienol forms of vitamin E possess unique biological activity that d-alpha tocopherol does not. This is because tocotrienols have a short and flexible tail structure, which enables them to move about freely and function metabolically in ways that tocopherol vitamin E cannot.*
Among tocotrienol supplements, we take Daily Super E to the next level. No filler oils are used and there is a balance of alpha, delta and gamma tocotrienols. Many tocotrienol products are high in only one tocotrienol or use diluting oils such as soy.*
Tocotrienol Blend
Supplementing with different forms of tocotrienols is beneficial, because they each perform different biological functions and are more active in different cell structures. Alpha tocotrienol is extraordinarily protective of the nervous system. This is due to alpha tocotrienol’s superior antioxidant activity and its unique ability to influence natural mechanisms involved with nerve protection.*
Gamma tocotrienol is another tocotrienol with specific health benefits, and aids in both cellular health and healthy cholesterol metabolism.*
Gamma tocotrienol has been shown to modulate both the NF-kappaB gene signal and other signals involved with cellular survival. Gamma tocotrienol is very protective of all cells, but especially those of the male and female reproductive systems.*
Delta tocotrienols have been shown to be especially effective at promoting the normal process of apoptosis, to help clear damaged or abnormal cells. It also has some of the highest antioxidant activity in cell membranes. Its structure allows it to go deeper into the membrane than any other vitamin E form.*
Cholesterol Health
Both delta and gamma tocotrienol communicate with the primary enzyme involved with cholesterol metabolism, HMG CoA reductase.* In normal cholesterol metabolism, the production of cholesterol is self-regulating. This is similar to a situation in which a person at the end of a production line makes a phone call back to the person at the front of the line, telling them "enough widgets have been made.”
In cholesterol production, specific compounds communicate back to the HMG CoA reductase enzyme and tell it to “go home for the day, you are no longer needed.” Delta and gamma tocotrienols are some of these messaging compounds and assist in modulating cholesterol production in a natural manner. Because of this, tocotrienols are an excellent nutrient to support healthy cholesterol metabolism.*
Skin Protection
It is well-known that vitamin E is an important antioxidant for the skin. However, several studies highlight the outstanding benefits of the tocotrienol form of vitamin E for skin protection. One study showed that tocotrienols help turn on genes in fibroblasts that enhance the production of collagen. This can help promote youthful skin and reduce the effects of stress on skin.*
Another study showed that gamma tocotrienol, but not plain vitamin E (d alpha tocopherol), is able to regulate gene signals in skin to reduce damage caused by UVB radiation. When individuals take antioxidants like gamma tocotrienol on a regular basis, it accumulates in cell membranes and the skin, where it can help you enjoy the sun with less risk of adverse effects from UVB radiation. Unlike abnormal sunscreen chemicals, this is your body's natural and normal way of enabling you to be in the sun with less risk to your health.*
Brain and Nerve Health
Tocotrienols are shown to help nourish the brain and nerves at any age. Regular consumption of tocotrienols increases the brain concentration of them, giving you a novel form of cognitive protection to help buffer daily wear and tear.*
One study where tocotrienols were given to aging animals found that the brain mitochondria were able to maintain their ability to make energy and not experience the decline that is typical of the aging brain. Another study found that tocotrienols were able to protect the nerves from alcohol consumption.*
Since the health of your brain is critical to your quality of life, using a variety of brain support nutrients to bolster both function and protection is a really good idea. The brain-enhancing science behind tocotrienols makes them an excellent choice as part of your cognitive support nutrient program.*
Pregnancy and Brain Health
An animal study showed that mothers taking tocotrienols during pregnancy and lactation resulted in higher blood levels of tocotrienols in the offspring with significant accumulation of tocotrienols in the structures of the brain (4-6 times the level compared to controls). The animals with the high tocotrienols performed better on cognitive tests.*
Fat Cells and Weight Management
Since tocotrienols are a fat-soluble nutrient it is not surprising to find that they enter your white adipose tissue (fat), wherein they help put a lid on the expansion of white adipose tissue growth. This means they help curb the desire to make bigger fat cells that store more fat. They also help boost production of adiponectin within your fat, helping to support healthy blood sugar while also helping to reduce a buildup of fat in the liver.
In fact, researchers are now advocating tocotrienols as a tool to help combat virtually every aspect of the metabolic syndrome. While no nutrient is a magic bullet for weight loss, tocotrienols can help guide you back in the right direction and offer significant protection to your body while you get back on track. Tocotrienols are also in our Leptinal® supplement for healthy weight management.*
Daily Super E™ is also in the Daily Super Pack™
Sustainably Sourced
We source the tocotrienols in Daily Super E™ from a blend of annatto and certified sustainable palm oil. This results in a high amount of delta, gamma, and alpha tocotrienols.
The palm oil is sourced only from sustainably produced virgin red palm from established plantations within Peninsular Malaysia. Certified sustainable by the RSPO and the Malaysian Palm Oil Certification Council.
Put the highest quality vitamin E to work for you!*
