I assumed it would have been cost prohibitive to try toco caps due to shipping 1/2 way across the world but after checking the site it still looks like a pretty decent deal. I'll try them next.

Yes it actually is expensive to ship to you guys however we wear some of that cost, We only charge $14.95 for shipping to the USA however it costs about $20

Just one of the things we do to try and help you guys out.

In for good info.

I put my jar of rpo into the fridge and it solidifed nicely. Spoofulls taste fine and go down easy. I havn't tried to blend any into a shake yet but i don't predict it being an issue.

I like putting a scoop or two in soups and stews. The oil goes down nicely. Also fantastic with curries if you are going the curcumin and ginger route.
The oil does have a slightly different month feel, but I feel performance trumps palate every time!

Seeing some nice options in this thread. Gotta decide which one to go with now.

[O.N.]

by these statements it sounds as though it's still the toco's inside doing the hard work this oil is just another form.
Also i have been unable to find any info on actual mg's of toco's per bottle or serving......kinda like us selling tococaps with no nutritional info on the label.

The main health benefits that Dr. Oz mentioned in his show were unique
health benefits that are uniquely demonstrated by the tocotrienols and not
palm oil on its own. They were based on the science / published scientific
papers on Tocomin® / Tocomax / Tocomin SupraBio® – natural full spectrum
palm tocotrienol complex, the concentrated form of tocotrienol (ie. brain
health, cardioprotection, cholesterol reduction, potent antioxidant, etc) for
soft gel formulation / dietary supplement applications


Without tocotrienols and mixed carotene, the palm oil would just be a
another cooking oil / frying oil but lacks the health benefits. What is great
is that Dr Oz mentioned many times the benefits of tocotrienols -
neuroprotection, cardioprotection, potent antioxidant, etc.

I have tried to substitute Red Palm Oil for a while for the toco's and it works. But to get the equivalent Vit E, you need a lot. One table spoon has on average 16mg of mixed toco's. To get the same dose as Toco 8 (130mg) you would need 8 Tbs of oil. That is 1/2 a cup of oil! Possible but difficult. Using RPO every day for general Vit E needs has worked for me. But for a PCT or restart, I think the supplement is the way to go. I hope this is the info you needed.

Thats a massive amount of oil just to get such a small amount (130mg)

by my scale 2tsp of oil weighs 5g... so according to my math (if anyone cares, please double check) and the #s provided by this sample 2tsp should contain around.

alpha-tocopherol .9mg/2tsp
beta-tocopherol 0mg2tsp
gamma-tocopherol 0mg/2tsp
delta-tocopherol 0mg/2tsp

alpha-tocotrienols 1.345mg/2tsp
beta-tocotrienols .195mg/2tsp
gamma-tocotrienols 2.03mg/2tsp
delta-tocotrienols .735mg/2tsp


5.205mg/2tsp

My math could be seriously fucked up but it looks like about a full cup of rpo to = 1 serving of tococaps... sounds grim

How does the toco caps ingredient profile stack up against Toco-8?

[pitboss]

I use this, a lot more cost effective
