Abstract in brief

Tocotrienols are a form of vitamin E found mainly in palm oil, and they have unique biological properties that differ from the better-known tocopherols, including potential protection against diseases like cancer, heart issues, and neurodegenerative conditions.
Recent research, including human studies, has explored how tocotrienols work in the body, focusing on their effectiveness, how well they are absorbed, and their benefits for different populations and disease states.
The review aims to highlight current evidence and guide future clinical use of tocotrienols, emphasizing their promising health benefits and the need for more research.]
