Thank you for this article and your great site.

As with some others, I began to take tocotrienol owing to the Malaysian study. I don’t have any response to your comments about it.

What I do note is that my adult acne has largely cleared up since I started supplementing tocotrienol (after an initial break-out period). It seems clear that it does something. For my whole adult life, I’ve been afraid of waking up with acne. That rarely happens anymore, enough that I’m no longer worried about it. It’s nice to feel like others my age who always have clear skin.

I can’t comment about my hair regrowth. I am also using too many other “natural” treatments and dietary changes to attribute anything in particular to tocotrienol, although I’m sure it would be the most potent because it isn’t possible to obtain 100mg per day of tocotrienol without supplements.

I hope that the connection between acne and hair loss might bode well for some regrowth for me soon. I have MPB, not patchy hair loss (which I’d much prefer since it’s easily treated…).

1. What you recommend if I have to much sebum and AGA? To wash with ketoconazole shampoo and then apply topical vitamin E? Or it would be better to make some probiotic liquid and wash scalp with it?
2. In making vitamin E oitment, can I use red palm oil mixed with barley oil as a carrier, because of tocotrienols? They are more potent antioxidants, thant tocopherols. Or it would be enough to just use those oils, without 100% vitamin E oil?
Maybe you should write more about tocotrienols: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2956867/
