Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. Optic nerve damage is preceded by increased intraocular pressure.

A recent study shows that tocotrienols can lower artery-clogging triglycerides by 28%. This is especially relevant for those who have less-than-optimal triglyceride levels even though they take the proper dose of fi sh oil.
