Tocotrienols (Vitamin E family) in MegToc-Vegan

The Oil Protector: helps protect the oils from oxidation

Tocotrienols (Vitamin E family)

What it is

Tocotrienols are a vitamin E family antioxidant. In MegToc-Vegan they protect the delicate plant oils.

How it works

DHA and ALA have many double bonds, so they oxidize easily. Tocotrienols help interrupt that chain reaction and keep the oils fresh, creating an antioxidant-protected lipid system rather than just a blend of oils.

What it supports

  • Freshness and stability of the oils
  • An antioxidant-protected lipid system
  • Cell protection

Why it is included

Most ALA-only vegan omegas do not include this kind of antioxidant protection for their oils.

Its role in MegToc-Vegan

Tocotrienols protect the Algal Oil (with its DHA) and the Flaxseed Oil (with its ALA, omega-6 and omega-9) that make up the rest of the formula.

About MegToc-Vegan

MegToc-Vegan is a 100% plant-sourced omega-3 that gives vegetarians, vegans and fish-oil avoiders ready-made DHA directly from algae. Most plant omegas supply only ALA, which the body converts poorly into DHA; MegToc-Vegan supplies the finished nutrient.
