Tocotrienol E Stops Kidney Damage from Diabetes
Kidney damage resulting from diabetes is a long term and common consequence of the problem. A new animal study shows that the tocotrienol1 form of vitamin E was able to stop the kidney damage by regulating inflammatory gene signals at the most fundamental level. This is further evidence that tocotrienols are far and away the most effective form of vitamin E.

The evidence showed that tocotrienols favorably modulated immune signals that induce tissue damage to the kidneys during diabetes, as well as reducing oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and preventing death in kidney cells.

The ability of tocotrienols to favorably modulate NF-kappa B, the key gene signal that is fundamental to inflammation, makes them a top choice for health in general. The fact that they can exert such a powerful positive influence in a condition that is troublesome to so many people is very good news.
