Why "Vitamin E" Claims Are So Confusing And Why Annatto Tocotrienol and Geranylgeraniol Stand Apart

Demystifying Vitamin E - Why Most Studies Fail to Deliver

If you’ve ever read news reports claiming “vitamin E failed in dementia trials,” or seen articles warning that supplements bring “mixed results,” you’re right to be cautious. But here’s the catch most people—and even many doctors—don’t realize:

• The term “vitamin E” covers 8 distinct molecules: four tocopherols (including alpha-tocopherol, the most common and least effective) and four tocotrienols (delta, gamma, alpha, beta), each with totally different effects on health. Barrie Tan, PhD: Using Tocotrienols to Address Lifestyle and Metabolic Disease

• Over 90% of studies use alpha-tocopherol alone, often in high doses, ignoring more bioactive tocotrienols. Alpha-tocopherol can block absorption of tocotrienols, making it a poor choice for optimal protection. ``I am fully convinced of the benefits of annatto tocotrienols.`` - Dr Barrie Tan

As Professor Mike Murphy, mitochondrial redox biology pioneer, reminds us:

"The smallest unit of life is the cell. If your cells are healthy, you are healthy."

Why Annatto Tocotrienol (DeltaGold®) Is Unique

DeltaGold® Annatto Tocotrienol is the purest, most potent vitamin E available, extracted from annatto seeds by American River Nutrition, using a proprietary, chemical-free method developed by Dr Barrie Tan . Unlike rice or palm sources, annatto provides nearly 100% tocotrienols (90% delta, 10% gamma) with NO alpha-tocopherol contamination.This means you get:

• Superior antioxidant power (40x–60x higher than regular vitamin E). Here's How They Work

• Faster cellular penetration and protection

• No interference in absorption or effectiveness.

Official Approval - TGA Listed Medicine in Australia

DeltaGold® Annatto Tocotrienol is rigorously tested and approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) as 'medicine' – ARTG Entry 373033.
Our GG-Gold® Geranylgeraniol uses the same advanced annatto extraction technology. Regulatory approval gives you peace of mind for safety, quality, and effectiveness, unlike supplements that only meet food-grade standards. Eannatto® DeltaGold™ Tocotrienols Vitamin E Supplement

Why Prevention Beats Cure And Time Matters

Most chronic diseases, heart attack, stroke, dementia, cancer, start damaging cells decades before symptoms appear. By the time you “feel” an issue (often 15–20 years into disease progression), irreversible damage has already happened. Cancer and dementia: Two sides of the same coin?

Continuous daily use, not intermittent or short-term, is essential for protection and healthspan extension.
