In studies at Brunswick Laboratories, Dr. Boxin Ou compared the ORAC value of DeltaGold® to tocopherol and mixed tocotrienols, and found that the antioxidant potential from DeltaGold® is much higher than that of the other compounds studied.
In addition, Ohio State University found that delta- and gamma-tocotrienol (as in DeltaGold®) protect lard from oxidation at low levels of just 100 ppm. The USDA lab and University of Georgia both published articles stating that DeltaGold® is effective in protecting fats in deep frying and omega-3s in infant formulas.
Dr. Lester Packer of the University of California/Berkeley also showed that, as antioxidants, tocotrienols are 40-60 times more potent than tocopherols.
In clinical studies delta-tocotrienol increased other endogenous antioxidants.
