The Dr Oz Show Explains Health Benefits of Red Palm Oil Particularly Due to its Tocotrienols

The Dr Oz Show, a widely followed television series focusing on personal health and integrative medicine hosted by multi-awarded heart surgeon Dr Oz, recently presented its views on the health benefits of red palm oil from the fruit of the oil palm tree (Elais guineensis).

In the show’s January 3, 2013 episode, Dr Oz and his guest, Bryce Wylde, recommend red palm oil particularly for its tocotrienol, a novel form of vitamin E found in the oil palm fruit. On his show Dr Oz called the red palm oil as the “most miraculous find of 2013”. According to Dr. Oz, tocotrienols possess stellar antioxidation properties and unique health benefits that support heart and brain health.
