• Potential oxidative stress reduction   
• Potential cognitive enhancement  
• Potential cardioprotection 
• Potential anti-inflammatory property

During normal activities, our body’s cells produce reactive substances called free radicals. Free radicals are prooxidants, which contribute to degenerative diseases and are neutralised by antioxidants made by the body. If antioxidants are unavailable, a high concentration of prooxidant compounds can induce oxidative stress and may cause damage to our body. Fortunately, additional antioxidants can be obtained from foods including fruits, vegetables, and oils such as Red Palm Oil (RPO). 

RPO is rich in vitamin E tocotrienols and carotenoids. One kilogramme of Malaysian RPO contains 600-100 mg vitamin E Tocotrienols and 500-700 mg of carotenoids. These beneficial constituents in RPO help promote good health. Vitamin E tocotrienols are potent antioxidants that are more effective than tocopherols. Tocotrienols have 60 times higher antioxidant activity than tocopherols. The remarkable functional properties of palm tocotrienols include:  

• Potential oxidative stress reduction   
• Potential cognitive enhancement  
• Potential cardioprotection 
• Potential anti-inflammatory property 

Our body can convert some of the carotenoids from foods into vitamin A for various body functions. Vitamin A is important for normal vision, the immune system, reproduction, as well as growth and development. Vitamin A also helps the heart, lungs, and other organs work properly. Besides vitamin E and carotenoids, other noteworthy phytonutrients present in RPO are squalene, CoEnzyme Q10, and phytosterol.
