Cell membrane health depends on the presence of sterols and lipids. Unfortunately, the foods that make up our daily diet lose lipids, sterols, and other important elements during the processing of grains. To assist maintain proper nutrition at the cellular level, Tre-en-en® Grain Concentrates offer a special and distinctive blend of whole-food extracts from wheat germ, rice bran, and soy beans. NeoLife created and released Tre-en-en®, the first phytonutrient dietary supplement, in 1958. It includes phyto-STEROLS like beta-sitosterol, gamma-oryzanol, stigmasterol, and campesterol as well as octacosanol. It also includes phyto-LIPIDS such omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids.
Tre-en-en® supplies what food processing strips from dietary staples
Grains are subjected to approximately two dozen processes before being transformed into dietary staples such as white flour and white rice to increase their shelf life. The nutritious outer layers of the grain are removed during processing. These layers contain the majority of the vitamins and minerals found in grains, as well as “good fats” known as lipids and sterols. Other foods, particularly soya beans, contain beneficial lipids and sterols.
A series of studies conducted at a Southern California hospital in the 1950s revealed that people suffering from chronic fatigue could benefit significantly from a combination of plant extracts containing broad-spectrum lipids and sterols. Over six decades later, that combination – NeoLife’s Tre-en-en® – is still helping people all over the world.
Tre-en-en® was the first phytonutrient supplement on the market.
provides plant lipids and sterols lost during food processing stripped of staple foods that serve as the foundation of our daily dietary regimens Tre-en-en® is a brand name derived from the Greek word for “three in one.” It is a one-of-a-kind blend of concentrated extracts from whole wheat.
Rice bran, soya beans, and berries Wheat germ is more than just that.
Soya oil contains all of the lipids that are naturally available.

Lipids and Sterols: Building blocks for every cell membrane in the human body
Not all fats are harmful to one’s health. Some fats are beneficial, even necessary. Fats provide energy, essential fatty acids, and cellular building blocks, as well as acting as regulators.
Fats, for example, are required for normal growth and development. They are also crucial to the nervous system’s structure and function. But most importantly, they make up the greater part of the membranes that surround every cell in the human body
“Good fats” are lipids and sterols derived from wheat, rice, and soya beans. Certain lipids, such as omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, have been shown to increase the fluidity, or “pliability,” of cell membranes, allowing cells to function normally. Plant sterols may have a variety of beneficial effects and may help the cardiovascular system function properly. Both lipids and sterols are found in the bran and outer layers of grains, which are removed during processing (see The Story of Wheat, The Story of Rice, and The Story of Soya).
Tre-en-en® for cellular efficiency
Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells, all of which must function properly in order for us to stay healthy. How do cells maintain their health?
Their membranes are crucial. Cells, like bodies, must absorb nutrients and excrete waste. Every cell in the body is surrounded by a lipid membrane that has the ability to allow only necessary nutrients to enter the cell. By the same token, it only allows waste and metabolic products (hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, and so on) to exit. Deficiencies in lipids, sterols, and amino acids can impair cells’ discretionary power. Even when nutrients are available, cells can become “starved” (inhibited in their ability to take in substances).
They can also become “constipated” (unable to eliminate accumulating waste products or export metabolites). Cells work inefficiently under these conditions, expending more energy than healthy cells would to achieve the same results.
Tre-en-en® Grain Concentrates provide essential lipids and sterols that help cells function properly. Remember, we are only as healthy as our cells, and Tre-en-en® supports cellular health and vitality by strengthening the lipid/sterol “link” in our “Chain of Life.”
