DERIVED FROM NATURE

Palm fruit is one of the richest natural sources of Tocotrienol-Rich Fraction, with a concentration of up to 800 mg/kg. DavosLife E3 is isolated from non-GMO palm fruits (Elaeis guineensis). DavosLife E3 is a naturally occurring Vitamin E which consists of full spectrum Tocotrienol isomers (α, β, γ and δ) and α-Tocopherol.

DRIVEN BY SCIENCE

Davos Life Science is dedicated to conduct and support research studies on the benefits of phytonutrients. Our scientists have continually conducted research on the effects and mechanisms of Tocotrienol-Rich Fraction in the human body and consequently unlocked the potential of this natural phytonutrient. The on-going research activities also look into the benefits in applications for nutrition, cosmetic and personal care products, as well as food and beverage products.

Research & Development

Davos Life Science has established R&D facilities in Singapore and Malaysia to spearhead cutting-edge research on phytonutrients into health benefits, dermatological applications and product innovations. Our researchers have successfully carried out major biological research activities pertaining to Tocotrienol-Rich Fraction through in-vivo, in-vitro and human clinical studies.

Our researchers have investigated the biological activities of DavosLife E3 Tocotrienol-Rich Fraction in three major therapy areas:

1. Metabolic Syndrome and Cardiovascular Health
2. Skin Care
3. Cellular Wellness and Protection

Our research studies on the health benefits of DavosLife E3 have been published in leading scientific publications including the European Journal of Nutrition, International Journal of Cancer, Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research, and Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis.

For its commitment in advancing research on Tocotrienol-Rich Fraction, Davos Life Science is a distinguished recipient of the “2010 Asia Pacific Excellence Award in Vitamin E Research” from Frost and Sullivan.

WHY DAVOSLIFE E3?

DavosLife E3 contains a complete spectrum of Tocotrienol isomers (α, β, γ and δ) and α-Tocopherol at a ratio perfectly balanced by nature, working together synergistically for health and wellness.

Unique Source, Distinctive Values

Tocopherols and Tocotrienols are found naturally in various grains and seeds such as wheat, rice bran, soybean, palm fruit, grape seed, peanut, walnut and pecan. However, most of these grains and seeds contain only Tocopherols; only a few contain both forms. Tocotrienols are found mainly in palm fruit, wheat, annatto and rice bran in the hard, outer layer beneath the husk.

Palm, rice bran and annatto oils were described as some of the richest sources of Tocotrienols. However, only palm fruit oil contains all four Tocotrienol isomers. The palm fruit is the unique source of complete spectrum of Tocotrienols and α-Tocopherol. Extracts from rice bran oil have a Tocotrienols:Tocopherol ratio of 1:1 and annatto seeds contain predominantly 2 isomers, δ-Tocotrienol and γ-Tocotrienol.

Studies have shown that each Tocotrienol isomer has its own unique health benefits. For example, α-Tocotrienol has been shown to provide good neuroprotection while γ-Tocotrienol is beneficial for cardiovascular health and cellular protection. Therefore, the efficacy of DavosLife E3 could be amplified by the presence of the complete spectrum of Tocotrienols with α-Tocopherol.
