Red palm oil extract | 20% palm phytonutrients
Contains dozens of naturally occurring fat-soluble tocotrienols, tocopherols, and carotenoids. (1, 2) Toco-9 provides 160 mg of tocochromanols and 30 mg of carotenoids, which is supported by 35+ human clinical trials for their safety and effectiveness. (3–38).

Sesame seed extract | 90% sesamin
Contains a fat-soluble lignan known as sesamin, which increases the body's retention of the vitamin E family, including tocotrienols and tocopherols. (39, 40) Each serving provides 90 mg of sesamin which is clinically effective for enhancing the benefits from palm-based phytonutrients. (41–43).

Supports the skin’s UV defense
Supports the skin's natural defense against UVA and UVB to minimize redness and photoaging from mild sun exposure. (1–3)
- Shown to increase the skin's tolerance to sunlight by up to 240% after 12 weeks of supplementation in healthy adults. (1-4)
- Carotenoids, tocochromanols, and sesamin help dissipate UV radiation from the sun by supporting the skin’s natural antioxidant functions. (8-10) This helps protect the skin’s DNA, cellular membranes, and collagen from mild sun exposure. (1, 4–7)
- It is recommended to supplement with Toco-9 daily for at least 12 weeks for the greatest sun protective benefits. (9) Toco-9 is not intended to replace sunscreen or other effective sun protective measures.
Regenerates youthful skin
Enhances skin softness and hydration, and prevents age-related DNA damage. (1–4, ‡)
- Shown to significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles after 4 weeks in healthy middle-aged women. (1, ‡)
- Improves skin health by restoring cellular hydration, stimulating synthesis of type-1 collagen, and reducing DNA damage associated with aging. (2–6)
- For the best results, it is recommended to supplement with Toco-9 daily for at least 12 weeks to achieve full saturation of tocochromanols and carotenoids throughout the dermis and epidermis. (7–9)
Reverses age-related hair loss
Increases the number of hairs on the scalp, without side-effects. (1, 2)
- Shown to increase the number of hairs on the scalp by an average of 38% after 8 months in men and women suffering from age-related hair loss. (1, 2)
- Triggers hair growth by stimulating insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) in aging hair follicles. (3–6)
- Toco-9 can be used safely with minoxidil (Rogaine®) and/or finasteride (Propecia®). It is recommended by cosmetic surgeons to supplement with the palm-based extract in Toco-9 before and after hair transplantation surgery for the most successful hair regrowth. (7)
