Nature’s most potent antioxidants - research-validated - defend your brain, heart & metabolic health
Unlock the Full Potential of Annatto Tocotrienol + GG
Why This Combo Is More Important Than Ever
In today’s world, chronic diseases, especially cancer, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic disorders, are rising at alarming rates, even among younger people. At the heart of this epidemic is a silent culprit: oxidative stress. Modern lifestyles, processed foods, environmental toxins, and chronic stress all tip the balance toward excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), overwhelming our natural defences and triggering inflammation, DNA damage, and accelerated ageing.
Annatto tocotrienol and annatto geranylgeraniol (GG) are two natural compounds that have emerged as a powerful, science-backed duo to counteract this threat. But what makes taking them together so much more effective than taking either alone? Let’s dive into the latest research and discover why this combination is a true game-changer for your health.
The Science - How GG Supercharges Tocotrienol Potency
The Bioavailability Breakthrough
One of the biggest challenges with tocotrienols (a potent form of vitamin E) has always been their absorption. Here’s where GG comes in:
Geranylgeraniol acts as a natural surfactant, forming mixed micelles in the gut that dramatically improve the absorption of tocotrienols.
Recent research published in Nature Cancer (2024) showed that co-administering GG with annatto tocotrienol increases tocotrienol plasma concentrations by 3-fold (a 300% increase) compared to tocotrienol alone.
This means more tocotrienol gets into your cells, where it can neutralize harmful free radicals, support mitochondrial function, and modulate inflammation at a much higher potency.

Why This Matters
Deeper Cellular Protection: Enhanced tocotrienol delivery means stronger defense against lipid peroxidation (damage to cell membranes) and DNA mutations that drive cancer and ageing.
Greater Anti-Inflammatory Power: Tocotrienols suppress inflammatory signaling pathways (like NF-κB and COX-2) more effectively when more of the compound reaches your tissues.
Improved Mitochondrial Health: Tocotrienols and GG together support the energy factories of your cells, reducing fatigue and supporting longevity.
The Modern Disease Connection - ROS, Inflammation & Cancer
The Hidden Cascade
Oxidative stress is now recognised as a root cause of nearly all chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, neurodegeneration, and especially cancer.
ROS damage DNA, proteins, and lipids, triggering chronic inflammation and setting the stage for disease.
Alarming new studies show a sharp rise in cancer and metabolic disorders among people under 50, directly linked to increased oxidative stress from processed foods, environmental toxins, and lifestyle factors.

Cancer - The Ultimate ROS-Driven Disease
ROS initiate cancer by causing DNA mutations (e.g., 8-oxoguanine formation), promote tumour growth by activating survival pathways (NF-κB, HIF-1α), and enable metastasis by breaking down tissue barriers.
Cancer cells exploit ROS to resist treatment, making antioxidant support crucial for both prevention and as an adjunct to therapy.
Why You Need Both - The Synergistic Benefits
Annatto Tocotrienol
Potent antioxidant: 40x–>60x more powerful than standard vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol).
Anti-inflammatory: Downregulates inflammatory cytokines and enzymes (NF-κB, COX-2).
Anti-cancer: Induces cancer cell apoptosis, inhibits metastasis, and enhances the effectiveness of chemotherapy (especially in breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers).
Supports cardiovascular, brain, and metabolic health.
Annatto Geranylgeraniol (GG)
Boosts tocotrienol absorption by 300%.
Supports mitochondrial energy production and coenzyme Q10 synthesis.
Promotes healthy cell repair, bone health, and immune function.
Reduces cancer stem cell populations and disrupts tumour cell signaling (mevalonate pathway inhibition).
The Power Duo - More Than the Sum of Their Parts
Primary Prevention: Neutralises ROS before they can damage DNA or trigger inflammation.
Metabolic Support: Enhances glutathione recycling and preserves NADPH, vital for cellular detoxification.
Immune Priming: Reduces PD-L1 on tumour cells, improving immune system surveillance.
Fights Treatment Resistance: Makes cancer cells more sensitive to chemotherapy and less able to evade immune attack.

Real-World Results
Breast Cancer: Tocotrienol + GG reduces metastasis by 58% in animal models and increases apoptosis in triple-negative breast cancer cells.
Colorectal Cancer: The combo reduces polyp burden by 41% in genetic models.
Pancreatic Cancer: Depletes cancer stem cells by 63% and improves chemotherapy effectiveness by 39% in preclinical studies.
General Health: Users report improved energy, reduced inflammation, and better resilience against stress and illness.
How to Use Annatto Tocotrienol + GG
A typical daily dose for prevention and general health (Higher doses for treatment):
Annatto Tocotrienol: 125–150 mg
Annatto GG: 150–200 mg
EAnnatto 150+: Combines both in one gel capsule containing 150mg DeltaGold Tocotrienol and 75mg GG-Gold.
Always choose high-quality, clinically tested supplements and consult your healthcare provider, especially if you have existing health conditions or are on medication.
Conclusion - A Smarter Way to Protect Your Health
The science is clear: combining annatto tocotrienol and GG offers a comprehensive, synergistic defense against oxidative stress, inflammation, and the diseases of modern life. By boosting tocotrienol potency by 300%, GG unlocks the full potential of this remarkable antioxidant, giving you a powerful edge in the fight for longevity and disease prevention.
If you’re looking for a proactive, evidence-based way to protect your cells, support your immune system, and guard against the rising tide of chronic disease, this power duo is your best ally.
