Swanson proudly welcomes Delta and Gamma Tocotrienols from annatto to our selection of vitamin E products. As you may know, the vitamin E family consists of tocopherols and tocotrienols, with alpha-tocopherol as the most commonly found form of vitamin E. However, tocotrienols have up to 50 times the antioxidant potential of tocopherols, and the latest research indicates that along with a healthy diet and exercise, delta fractions (delta tocotrienols) are the most beneficial for supporting healthy cholesterol already within the normal range, triglycerides and cellular health. Swanson Tocotrienols are derived from Bixa orellan, or annatto, the only plant known to contain only tocotrienols. Annatto's tocotrienols consist of gamma and delta fractions, potent and beneficial tocotrienol isomers.

FAQ
- What are tocotrienols?
Tocotrienols are one of the two major families of vitamin E compounds, alongside tocopherols. Like other forms of vitamin E, they provide antioxidant support that helps protect cells from oxidative stress. Tocotrienols have also been studied for their role in supporting cardiovascular health, healthy aging, and overall cellular function. - How do tocotrienols support cardiovascular health?
Tocotrienols provide antioxidant support that helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports healthy blood vessel function. Research also suggests they support healthy lipid metabolism, making them an important nutrient for overall cardiovascular wellness as part of a healthy lifestyle. - What is annatto?
Annatto is a natural plant extract obtained from the seeds of the achiote tree (Bixa orellana), which is native to Central and South America. While it is commonly used as a natural food coloring, annatto is also one of the richest natural sources of tocotrienols, a specialized form of vitamin E. Unlike palm-derived vitamin E, annatto-derived tocotrienols contain predominantly delta- and gamma-tocotrienols with little to no tocopherols, making them a unique source of vitamin E compounds for dietary supplements. - What makes Swanson Tocotrienols unique?
Swanson Tocotrienols features DeltaGold®, a patented tocotrienol complex derived from annatto (Bixa orellana), one of the few natural sources that contains virtually no tocopherols. Unlike traditional vitamin E supplements that primarily provide tocopherols, DeltaGold delivers concentrated delta- and gamma-tocotrienols in a 99% tocopherol-free formula. These specialized forms of vitamin E provide antioxidant support and have been studied for their ability to support healthy cholesterol metabolism, cardiovascular wellness, and cellular health. - Why does this formula contain tocotrienols without tocopherols?
Tocopherols and tocotrienols are both naturally occurring forms of vitamin E, and each offers unique health benefits. DeltaGold® is sourced from annatto, which naturally contains almost exclusively delta- and gamma-tocotrienols with virtually no tocopherols. This allows the formula to provide concentrated tocotrienols without additional tocopherols, since both forms share some of the same transport pathways in the body. The result is a supplement designed specifically for those seeking targeted tocotrienol supplementation. - Is Swanson Tocotrienols suitable for special diets?
Swanson Tocotrienols is non-GMO. However, it is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets because the softgel contains gelatin, and it is not gluten free. Always review the product label for the most current ingredient and allergen information.
