Red Palm Oil For Tocotrienols

Hey everyone

I was going to start taking a bit of red palm oil everyday for its tocotrienol content.  The brand I got is organic and seems to be very good.

Besides the vitamin content it seems to be nutritionally more or less similar to coconut oil.

I also may experiment with using it topically.

Thoughts?

Thanks

It will stain:)...

Oh, well it does have a really beautiful orange color.

I've used turmeric topically before (on my face, not my hair, I think turmeric actually REMOVES hair), and as long as you wash it off good enough it doesn't stain (but I've had a few times where there were a few yellow spots that were difficult to remove).  Would you say this oil is better or worse than turmeric?

In any case I think I'll do a spot test tonight maybe.

^ Also I'd like to add that I just tried like 1/4 of a teaspoon of this stuff and it tastes quite pleasant, almost like pumpking I guess.

I'm still wondering about taking it orally though, for tocotrienol content. The serving size is 1 tablespoon.

I use them too.

I cant really say if they helped my hair a great deal. However it definitely seems to have an effect on my skin and sun tolerance.

What brand do you use?

where do you buy it from?

Hey guys

I use the "Nutiva" brand, from Vitamin Shoppe.  It doesn't harm the rain forest also, which is appareltly a thing with red palm oil.  It's only about $10 for a 1 pound jar, I think that's pretty good.

Also, I've been slathering this stuff all over my face and trouble spots on my scalp, leaving it on for about 1.5-2 hours, and it washes off fine, so I'll keep at it topically. While it's on though I look orange like a pumpkin

As for eating it, it actually has a nice flavor, unlike coconut oil, which makes me shiver.
