Tocotrienols May Boost Mood, Slow Aging, and Protect Your DNA.

A 2025 randomized controlled trial in Nutrients by Sharif et al. tested the effects of a tocotrienol-enriched beverage in 67 adults aged ~60 over six months. Compared to placebo, those who drank tocotrienols experienced better psychological well-being, lowered markers of oxidative stress like TNF‑α, increased antioxidant enzymes (SOD, catalase), and improved genomic stability, including telomerase activity—suggesting real anti-aging potential.

Tocotrienols are potent forms of vitamin E found in palm oil, rice bran, and annatto. While most people haven’t heard of them, they’re being added to functional drinks like palm-fruit-based smoothies, annatto-fortified health drinks, and specialized antioxidant tonics sold in wellness markets.

Try adding tocotrienol-rich drinks to your daily routine—or look for supplements made from red palm oil or annatto seed extract—to support mood, DNA, and long-term vitality.
