Yes, tocotrienols are marketed as a supplement.
Extracted from rice bran and other sources, which contain it.
A quick internet search on tocotrienols gives a lot of results.
E.g. http://www.tocotrienol.org/sources.htm
Palm oil contains a lot.
I prefer not to use supplements if something pure is available.
Pure palm oil is so rich in them that 1-2 tablespoons match recommendations
for vitamin E and carotens, and most of the E are tocotrienols.
So, I prefer just to use the tablespoons of oil when I fry,
and it's enough.
I'm not particularly after tocotrienols for myself, as I think I don't have
and cholesterol or similar problem.
But I'm shure their antioxidant vitamin power will do good.
