I finally found one source that says this natural form of vitamin E is found in natural forms of palm oil, olive oil, corn oil, canola oil, nuts, seeds , green leafy vegatibles, and wheat germ.

According to the Wikipedia article, that not true: "Tocotrienols are found in high concentrations in palm oil, naturally comprising high levels of the alpha-, gamma-, delta-tocotrienols with small quantity of beta-tocotrienol.[10] Other natural tocotrienol sources include rice bran oil, coconut oil, cocoa butter, barley and wheat germ.[11] Sunflower, peanut, walnut, sesame and olive oils, however contain only tocopherols.[12]"

Yep. You are right. I saw that after I posted it.
