Vitamin E Tocotrienols May Enhance Bone Health
Annatto tocotrienol – mainly composed of delta-tocotrienol – given with or without statins stimulated bone formation and cut back bone decay in a postmenopausal osteoporosis rat model, according to findings published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
While the combination of annatto tocotrienol with lovastatin was most potent, suggesting a synergistic or additive effect of the two, annatto tocotrienol also showed significant improvements, whereas lovastatin alone did not elicit a beneficial response.
“The combination of delta-tocotrienol plus lovastatin has the potential to be used as an anti-osteoporotic agent,” concluded the researchers
