Tocotrienols belong to the vitamin E family and are essential for proper body and brain function. Like other vitamin E compounds, tocopherols, there are four natural types of tocotrienols: alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. Tocotrienols are present in oils derived from rice bran, palm fruit, barley, and wheat germ. In contrast, tocopherols are predominantly found in vegetable oils like olive, sunflower, and safflower oils, as well as in whole grains and green leafy vegetables.
