Are You Taking the Regular or Super Vitamin E?
In this episode of the NatureCity Podcast, Host and CEO...
TrueE is made with EVnol SupraBio, which comes from Non-GMO, sustainable red palm oil. Few plants in nature offer the rich amounts of both alpha-tocopherol and all 4 tocotrienols (alpha, beta, delta and gamma) found in red palm oil. This creates a super vitamin E with increased potency and superior health support.
Also important, the makers of EVNol SupraBio are committed to the sustainability of red palm oil only using crops from the Malaysian peninsula.
This cropland is nearly 20 years old, and the plantations do not encroach on forests or use newly cleared land. Unlike crops that need to be replanted each year, palm trees produce fruit for 20 to 25 years and have a very high oil yield, which means less land is needed for planting.
A patented emulsifying delivery system can increase the amount of tocotrienols that reach the bloodstream by up to 250%. Better yet, EVnol SupraBio is the sole source of tocotrienols shown to reach key human organs after ingestion – including the brain, liver, heart, skin, and fatty tissues.
In addition, EVnol SupraBio is the most researched tocotrienol ingredient for supplements, with 30 years of published research support for numerous benefits including for brain health, heart health, liver health, hair and skin appearance and healthy aging.
Since most adults struggle to get enough of the regular alpha-tocopherol form of vitamin E (which is found in many common foods we eat), you can imagine the challenge we have with getting the more potent tocotrienols, which are hard to find in foods we typically consume.
The oils we cook with have at best trace amounts of tocotrienols, as do cereal brans like wheat germ, barley, or oats. What’s more, they’re not found in most vitamin E supplements either.
What makes tocotrienols more potent? They’re almost identical in structure to tocopherols, with one key difference. The tail in tocotrienols is “unsatuarated”, which is believed to be key to their health properties (like with saturated versus unsaturated fats).
Among other things, tocotrienols can penetrate cell membranes more efficiently than tocopherols for stronger biological and antioxidant effects.

As natural fruit product, the amounts can vary slightly from batch to batch, but here is an approximate breakdown of the 100mg of tocotrienols from a recent batch:
Total natural d-mixed palm tocotrienols 100 mg
Typically providing:
--d-alpha Tocotrienol 30.8 mg
--d-beta Tocotrienol 5.6 mg
--d-gamma Tocotrienol 46.2 mg
--d-delta Tocotrienol 17.4 mg
This hasn’t been the case with the EVnol SupraBio (from red palm oil) ingredient we use in TrueE. It contains a self-emulsifying delivery system shown to improve bioavailability by up to 250% compared to standard extracts.
As important, EVnol SupraBio was the first (and we think still only) tocotrienol ingredient shown to reach key organs and tissues when ingested.
Most important, EVnol SupraBio has been the subject of many published research studies conducted over 30 years indicating different potential health benefits that a user may experience, particularly with respect to cardiovascular, brain and liver health.
Each serving of TrueE (2 soft gels) contains 27mg (40 IU) of natural d-alpha-tocopherol from the same red palm oil that also provides the tocotrienols. This is equal to 179% of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for alpha-tocopherol.
The EVNol SupraBio in TrueE has been the subject of a significant amount of research for brain health, a lot of which was funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH). This work revealed several findings not seen with alpha-tocopherol only.
For example, researchers found that a very small amount of tocotrienols may protect brain cells from death caused by glutamate.
The amino acid glutamate is a neurotransmitter that brain cells use to send messages to each other. When some glutamate gets trapped outside cells (more common as we age), it can cause damage over time. Tocotrienols help protect against cell damage caused by glutamate.
One of the largest human studies with tocotrienols looked at their effect on the vascular network in the brain.
This network becomes more fragile as we age, and “leaking pipes” can hurt cognitive function over time. An indication of a deteriorating vascular network in the brain is the formation of white matter lesions (WML) – and after 2 years of taking tocotrienols, the progression of WML was slowed.
More generally, researchers from Stockholm Sweden led a series of studies with senior citizens from 6 European countries that showed higher blood levels of BOTH tocotrienols and tocopherols was associated with better cognitive function (not the case with just tocopherols).
