Red palm oil is a minimally processed palm oil that naturally contains tocopherols and tocotrienols (vitamin E), and carotenoids (vitamin A)which gives the oil its red color. It comes from the fruit of the tropical palm tree Elaeis guineensis, and has been used as a nutritious source of oil for thousands of years in Asia and Africa.

These natural antioxidants act as scavengers of oxygen free radicals and arebelieved to play a protective role in cellular aging, atherosclerosis, cancer,arthritis, and Alzheimer's disease.

Red palm oil has a higherbioavailability of antioxidant nutrients (proportion of nutrients that areusable by the body) than other vegetable sources and is a particularlyimportant dietary oil for people who are not taking an excellent vitamin Esupplement, with tocopherols and tocotrienols, and full-spectrum carotenoidnutritional supplement. It is considered the richest natural source of carotenoids with concentrations of 700-1000 ppm. That's 30 times more than is contained in carrots!
