Description
Red Palm Fruit Oil is one of the richest sources of natural dietary antioxidants, which play a key role in defending the body against free radical damage. Free radicals are molecules with unpaired electrons and in a quest to find another electron to pair with, they grab any electron from the molecule of a neighbour cell, thus damaging the adjacent cell. The damaged cell will mutate and begin to grow uncontrollably, ultimately becoming cancer. Antioxidants donate electrons to quench the free radicals, protecting healthy cells from damage. The major antioxidants in abundance in the Red Palm Fruit Oil are vitamin E (Tocotrienols, Tocopherols), carotenes (alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, gamma-carotene, lycopene) and squalene.
Features & Benefits
The Benefits of Tocotrienol:-
Tocotrienol is superclass vitamin E, with a potency 40 to 60 times of its little brother d alpha tocopherol, an ordinary vitamin E. Tocotrienol prevents oxidation of LDL cholesterol in blood, which otherwise forms the plaque that sticks to artery walls, eventually blocking blood flow in blood vessels. Tocotrienol protects the brain from neurotoxins, such as glutamate, a flavour enhancer. The latter promotes free radical activities in the brain and is associated with neurological conditions like Alzheimer disease. As a flavouring agent is difficult to avoid, taking this tocotrienol rich red fruit oil helps to counter the bad effects.
Carotene Advantages:-
The intensely red colour of the fruit oil reflects the richness of the carotenes. The carotene family in this fruit oil comprises alpha-, beta-,gamma- carotene and a smaller amount of lycopene. The mixed carotenes offer protection from environmental toxins and improve the immune system. Vitamin A, converted from beta-carotene by the body is needed for the health of mucous linings in eyes, nose, lungs, and digestive tract.
Squalene Advantages:-
Squalene, according to research, is able to neutralise the effect of free radical attack generated by radiation and environment toxin. Therefore taking red palm fruit oil as part of the diet will supply a good amount of squalene for protection against the effect of radiation, detoxing the body, keeping skin healthy, and strengthening the immune system.
