Carotenes
Carotenes present in Palm Fruit Oil have strong antioxidant properties – they remove damaging oxygen free radicals, prevent certain forms of cancer and delay the aging process (1)

Tocotrienols
Tocotrienols have been reported in scientific literature to prevent cardiovascular diseases, lower the serum cholesterol level, decrease platelet aggregation, inhibit the growth of certain types of cancer cells, protect the skin against UV radiation and offer some protection to nerve cells (2,3,4).

Fatty acids
The harmful effects usually associated with saturated fatty acids have not been observed in Palm Fruit Oil. This apparently is due to their structure, position in the fat molecule and the balanced composition of fatty acids found in this product (5,6,7).
