Achiote Seeds Supplement with Vitamin E Tocotrienols for Lipid Balance *

Our Annatto Tocotrienols supplement is made from an extract of Bixa orellana, a tropical shrub also known as roucou, urucum, achiote, or annatto.* Cultivated in tropical regions of the Americas, its bright red seed pods seem to have a long history of traditional use.*

These seed-filled fruits appear to have traditionally been used for topical applications related to exposure to elements like sun or insects.* Today, they seem to be better known for their potentially rich nutrient content and natural compounds.

Bixa orellana may be a natural source of carotenoids like beta-carotene and should provide trace elements such as selenium, magnesium, and calcium.* It might also be particularly rich in tocotrienols – a specific form of vitamin E – which could offer targeted antioxidant support.*

Potential Benefits of Annatto Tocotrienols*

Vitamin E seems to play a key role in helping to support overall wellness.* While it may naturally be found in foods such as vegetable oils and nuts, getting enough of the full spectrum of Vitamin E compounds – especially tocotrienols – might be challenging through diet alone.*

Unlike tocopherols, tocotrienols appear to be less common in everyday foods.* That is why our Annatto Tocotrienols supplement is formulated with natural-source tocotrienols from the fruit of Bixa orellana.*

Each serving delivers 90% delta-tocotrienols and 10% gamma-tocotrienols to encourage comprehensive support.*

Vitamin E might be recognized for its potential antioxidant properties, which it may share with nutrients like vitamin C (as found in our Triple C supplement).* Annatto Tocotrienols may help:*

• Preserve cell membrane to help maintain skin and cellular vitality.*
• Maintain the integrity of red blood cells and normal oxygen transport.*
• Support a balanced cholesterol profile by encouraging LDL particle stability.*

Research and Bixa Orellana Seed Extract*

Scientific interest in tocotrienols appears to have grown due to their potential effects on oxidative balance and lipid metabolism.* Studies seem to suggest that they may help:*

• Positively influence cholesterol production pathways in the liver.*
• Promote LDL/HDL balance already within a healthy range.*
• Support lipid stability through antioxidant protection and vascular well-being.*
• Encourage balanced glucose and triglyceride levels in the context of healthy eating.*
• Favor the production of urine.*
• Contribute to balanced vitamin E levels in the body.*
