3:36 The best type of vitamin E 

Today we’re going to talk about the best type of vitamin E. In nature, vitamin E always comes in a complex. The vitamin E complex is composed of four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. When I mention four, I’m talking about the four different forms (alpha, beta, delta, gamma). 

The type of vitamin E that most people need more of is tocotrienols. You can very easily get tocopherols from the diet, so they usually aren’t needed in supplement form. Tocotrienols are more difficult to get from the diet. 

Tocotrienols are different from tocopherols in that they are 5000 times faster at handling free radicals. 

Vitamin E, in general, is a powerful lipid antioxidant, and one of the main functions is the protection of lipids. Lipids are in the cell membrane. Without vitamin E, all sorts of things can happen to the cell membranes. 

Tocotrienols are like little antioxidants that are spinning extremely fast to clean up and neutralize free radical damage. 

Potential benefits of vitamin E (especially tocotrienols):
• They may be anti-cancer. 
• They may be cardioprotective. 
• They may be liver-protective.
• They support the cell membranes of the skin, brain, nervous system, and the inside of the arteries.

Sources of tocotrienols:
• Rice (not keto-friendly) 
• Palm oil
• Annatto (might be one of the best sources) 

If you’re going to take vitamin E, it may be best to get the whole vitamin E complex, including both tocopherols and tocotrienols. Or you could try getting tocopherols from your diet, and get tocotrienols from a product made from annatto.

I am from Russia and do not know English. I watch your videos from the person who translates them into Russian. I just wanted to thank you personally for these videos!

Oh, Dr Berg...you are a genius. I grew up on the tropical island of Tobago. The local people used the "Roucou" plant (Annatto) as a coloring and flavoring additive to their sauces and different dishes. I don't think they realized the natural health benefits. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[ListenDeathMetal]

I must say a lot of your recent non-keto related videos have been superb Doc, really useful. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Dr Eric Berg you are smarter than any doctor I have ever met if we had more people like you people live longer and smarter love from Australia. Michael Peric 🇭🇲👋👍🏻👍🏻

Dr Eric Burg, You are changing the world for the Good. Thank You !!

[nostalgic_blue]

The excellent advice you offer usually cannot be found from a quick online search. I study holistic health topics just on my own and you always share new info I haven't heard elsewhere. :)

[coltboy]

I said it once before Dr. Berg really deserves the Nobel peace prize 🏅 clapping 🙌

[diegogaines]

God bless you for sharing your knowledge ❤

Vitamin E combined with milk thistle is great for liver cleansing 💐🕊️

And by the way...tocotrienols part of it... its converted to tocopherol. I was just reading some pubmed publishing's about vitamin E, its excellent to eliminate radiation damage, and excellent to correct oxidized fatty acids that caused DNA damages due to too much omega 6 and 9 .You can also take fresh grounded flaxseed for your omega 3

Thank you very much, Doctor. Your hand is like God’s hand on earth for healing 😇🙏

Annatto wow! I have a tree in my yard. I do use it to cook meats but not very often. Now that I know it’s benefits I am surely going to use it more often.

[ergunkazali]

Doc B, I have no words, you are just such an incredible genius for simplifying all this priceless information. And and and for free!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 👍👍

[Hasanafandi-qjoh]

I am from Afghanistan, like ur knowledge about health information. Tnx dear berg ❤

[pragooutube]

Hey, I have that in my yard! We call it roucou in the Caribbean. Never knew how beneficial it is for health. I only ventured to try out it's paste as a lip stain once. Past generations cooked with it, but that's a dying tradition. Wow. Time to revive that tradition!

Thank you for this vital information to prevent stroke which causes horrible disabities. Please make a video about using apple cider vinegar in apple juice to prevent and reverse stroke. I know it works. Also works to eliminate arthritis taken half hour before meals in a few weeks. Wishing the best of health to everyone. Keep the miracles coming.

[reddw]

This information is spot on! Thank you Dr. Berg for sharing all your valuable research. I know that it has truly helped me. 🤓

[aprilswallows]

Hi. Love the knowledge in this channel. I would love to see videos about how to incorporate keto in children without making them feel like they are on a diet but more healthy lifestyle. I know children can have more carbs as he has said that in other videos. But more dedicated videos for children’s health and well-being would be fabulous! Thanks again

[scraw]

Looking at all comments. I believe he said Annatto is the best source. It grows on trees you can buy seeds in raw form. Latin americans have been using it for ever adding it to food or for health ailments. you can make tea with it grind it into powder or buy powder and simply sprinkle it on food like salt. simple

[margaretcordova]

Thank you for all your hard research Dr. Berg. I tell as many people as I can about you. I show them what you look like and how you have over 2590 videos that they can learn from.
