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 have a long history of traditional use.*
These seed-filled fruits were traditionally used for topical applications and are now better known for their naturally occurring nutrients and plant compounds.*
Bixa orellana provides carotenoids such as beta-carotene and trace minerals including selenium, magnesium, and calcium.* It is also particularly rich in tocotrienols – a distinct form of vitamin E – which have been studied for their potential antioxidant activity.*
Vitamin E is an essential nutrient that contributes to overall wellness.* While commonly present in foods like vegetable oils and nuts, certain forms such as tocotrienols are less abundant in the average diet.*
That is why our Annatto Tocotrienols supplement is standardized to provide 90% delta- and 10% gamma-tocotrienols from Bixa orellana, offering a concentrated source of these rare vitamin E compounds.*
Research suggests that vitamin E tocotrienols may help:*
Studies continue to explore the potential roles of tocotrienols in human health, particularly in areas related to oxidative balance and nutrient metabolism.* Research has investigated how these compounds may contribute to antioxidant activity, cellular protection, and the maintenance of healthy vitamin E levels in the body.*
By providing tocotrienols from annatto seeds, this supplement offers a plant-based option for those interested in supporting general wellness as part of their daily routine.*
