The Palm Fruit^™ liquid capsules are finally here.

Although many customers love our Palm Fruit^™ powder, it’s been a recurring complaint that it’s difficult to use. The powder tends to stain everything bright orange because of the carotenoids, including your fingers, teeth, and tongue especially if you happen to take Palm Fruit powder straight to the mouth.

So we knew that we needed to get Palm Fruit^™ into a pill, but why a liquid filled capsule you might ask?

To answer that, let’s go all the way back to 2015…

In this article we will follow the palm fruit phytonutrients through the human body.

This article will focus on the fat soluble phytonutrients: tocotrienols and carotenoids. We will move through digestion, circulation, and biological tissues. You will see where and when these phytonutrients appear in the body and a few of their unique actions.

This article will show you the most significant research categories for red palm oil (palm fruit) based phytonutrients in relation to human health. Although hundreds of studies have been conducted, many will not be mentioned here. This timeline will focus on the categories that have shown the most promise and have progressed towards human clinical research.

In the past 30 years, scientific research has exploded for the phytonutrients in red palm oil. The major groups of phytonutrients are tocols and carotenoids. These two groups of phytonutrients are commonly separated from each other, and researched independently to more accurately characterize their unique effects. However, these phytonutrients have an additive, or even synergistic effect, when taken together as nature intended. Therefore, this timeline will show the research for both tocols and carotenoids to provide information most relevant to the full spectrum phytonutrient extract of red palm oil –

NOTE: This timeline will be kept up-to-date with the latest research findings as they are published.

1. How is Palm Fruit™ made?

Palm Fruit is a phytonutrient extract from fresh red palm oil fruits. The phytonutrients are extracted by a patented low-temperature vacuum distillation process, protected under US patent # 5,157,132 and 7,544,822. This distillation process creates a liquid extract rich in naturally occurring tocotrienols, tocopherols, carotenoids, phytosterols, Coenzyme-Q10, plastochromanols, and dozens of other phytonutrients. The extract is spray dried to create Palm Fruit.

This patented extraction process ensures the highest retention of heat sensitive phytonutrients, and is the same type of extract used in the dozens of human clinical trials on palm fruit phytonutrients. (5) Other methods of tocotrienol extraction utilize high-temperature distillation (482°F) which changes the ratio of tocotrienols and destroys sensitive phytonutrients.

Finally, our Palm Fruit powder retains a small amount (<0.5g) of mono- and diglycerides per serving from the original red palm oil which help emulsify and solubilize the fat soluble phytonutrients when mixed with water, giving Palm Fruit a smooth creamy consistency. These mono- and diglycerides also help the fat soluble phytonutrients absorb up to 2x better than synthetic vitamins. (1) [Read more…]
