Review
Summary |
 When it comes to the issue of cholesterol, there are now many natural dietary supplements on the market purported to address this issue. It’s no secret that many people first turn to natural solutions and remedies, which are often said to be much milder than medications. Unfortunately, not every product on the market will provide its advertised benefits, and to ensure quality, many people will research their options before making a purchase.
We will assist in this process by taking a closer look at the patented ingredient, DeltaGold™. This ingredient may now be found in purported cholesterol-reducing formulas, and we will take a closer look to determine its potential capabilities.

| Ingredient at a Glance |
|
DeltaGold™ is the patented version of the ingredient, Annatto Tocotrienol, which is a member of the Vitamin E family. Food sources for this ingredient include Palm Oil, Coconut Oil, Rice Bran Oil and several cereal grains. This substance is said to be rich in antioxidants, which are often credited for improving overall health and vitality and increasing energy levels.
In addition, there are several studies that suggest Tocotrienols may be beneficial for those who are at risk of breast or prostate cancer. One study of this ingredient suggested that Tocotrienol inhibited the growth of human cancer cells in the breast, and may also maintain the malignant properties of prostate cancer cells.

| Ingredient in Focus |
|
When it comes to cholesterol, many believe that Tocotrienols may lower LDL cholesterol. Cholesterol is usually discussed in “good” and “bad” terms, and it’s important to remember that some cholesterol is needed to maintain proper health and bodily function. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is considered the bad cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is considered good. Together, these lipoproteins transport cholesterol to and from the cells, and their combination along with triglycerides account for total cholesterol levels in the body.
There are some who claim DeltaGold™ will lower LDL levels specifically by inhibiting production in the liver. However, the significance of these actions is not conclusively proven at this time, and it’s still not quite known what overall effect this ingredient may have. Those who would prefer to use a natural supplement that has more proven results may opt to look into a formula that includes Plant Sterols. This natural ingredient has been FDA-approved and shown in studies to reduce cholesterol levels by up to 40%.

| Lifestyle |
|
As mentioned, the ingredient in question is rumored to have a number of health benefits. In addition to those already mentioned above, some people believe DeltaGold™ and Tocotrienols in general will lower blood pressure and provide anti-aging results and benefits. Individuals who are interested in this ingredient may find it in a variety of supplements now on the market. Many of the “pure” DeltaGold™ or Tocotrienols supplements are moderately priced, and may be purchased for less than $20. We always suggest finding a product that comes with a money-back guarantee, which is indicative of a company’s trust in their supplement’s abilities.
|
| Positives |
|
• Said to be a rich source for antioxidants
• Found in moderately priced supplements
|
| Negatives |
|
• Many of its purported benefits are not proven by conclusive research at this time
• May not be as effective as Plant Sterols when it comes to lowering cholesterol
|
| Final Thoughts |
|
Ultimately, DeltaGold™-based products may interest some people who wish to test its purported abilities and benefits. However, when it comes to the specific issue of cholesterol, we are much more confident in supplements that contain the above mentioned ingredient, Plant Sterols. Not only has this ingredient been shown to be effective in clinical trials, it is now also FDA-approved. We suggest interested individuals find a product that offers the highest dosage level of this ingredient in order to obtain maximum benefits.
