Dear Health Conscious Reader,
Are you taking the right vitamin E for your heart?
Most people don’t know this, but there are eight forms of vitamin E: four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. While they’re all antioxidants, the differences between them could easily fill a book. But the most important is that tocotrienols – not tocopherols – have powerful heart benefits.
Tocotrienols help:
- Reduce cholesterol oxidation
- Maintain healthy triglyceride levels
- Support normal blood pressure levels
Tocotrienols have a shorter “tail” that can penetrate the fatty outer layer of a cell membrane and “attack” a cholesterol-creating enzyme called HMG-CoA. 1,2 helping to reduce cholesterol oxidation and helping to promote normal cholesterol levels.
The problem with synthetic versions of vitamin E – the kind you find often in supplements – is that they contain none of the heart healthy tocotrienols and only ONE type of tocopherol.
So, how do you get more of the heart healthy vitamin E that contains tocotrienols?
You can find high concentrations of tocotrienols in certain oils. Annatto, palm, and rice bran oil are good sources. You should be able to find them at your local health food store or specialty grocery store.
Plus, I’ve made it easy for you to get a healthier heart.
My research team and I thought these studies were so strong, we added tocotrienols to our most talked about formula, Accel.
Now, for the first time ever, you can get unparalleled heart protection in just one pill.
Accel, which is 8 times more bioavailable than regular CoQ10, is a heart powerhouse all on its own. And now it will also have the power of tocotrienols.
Plus, combining the ubiquinol form of CoQ10, the kind found in Accel, with tocotrienols keeps the tocotrienols active in your system for a longer period than just taking them alone. So the benefits to your heart are that much greater.
Accel is the only supplement I tell all of my patients to take. And I never skip a day either. Now, Accel is even better.
Try the new Accel CoQ10 with the tocotrienol boost now.
To Your Good Health,
