What is Toco-8?

If anyone doesn't mind the taste of palm oil, it is a rich source of tocotrienols.

Unfortunately isn't the over harvesting of palm oil the leading reason for the orangutans being on the verge of extinction?

Silverlin - Didn't know that, but I did a search and it's all over the place. The palm oil consumption is pretty low in the states, but I think they use it like mad in the south east.

CS,

You use E-Gems Elite correct? How potent is regular consumption of palm oil compared to the supplements? I noticed the charts often list the vitamin e content for palm oil in 'ppm' but the supplements are in IU so I don't know which is better bang for buck.

NewReg- How is the taste of Toco-8? Does it have a bad taste or good taste?

I have to admit that I'm not incredibly sensitive to bad tastes. I can gulp down any tea concoction the acupuncturists gives me without making a face. Actually, wheat grass makes me want to throw up, but besides that I have a really strong stomach. That said, the Toco-8 seems pretty middle-of-the-road. It doesn't necessarily taste good, but at the same time, it isn't distinct or overpowering in any way. I take it first thing in the AM and mix the suggested amount of Toco-8 with 1 oz. of organic lemon juice and 12 oz. of water. In this way, I can still taste the Toco-8, but the lemon juice becomes the more powerful part of the drink. I'd imagine if you mixed the Toco-8 into a flavored protein powder shake you wouldn't be able to taste it at all.

Could it be wise to take toco-8 with grapefruit juice? Might hence absorption?

Thanks guys just ordered some, hopefully enjoy the taste as well Nid

people like The natural and others know that, but toco sorb is 50% less expensive
