» Provides Mixed Tocopherols and Tocotrienols for Comprehensive Vitamin E Nutrition*
Vitamin E, in its natural form, comprises eight different compounds:
alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherols and alpha-, beta-,
gamma-, and delta-tocotrienols. Both tocopherols and tocotrienols
are important to human health. Known as the “master antioxidant,”
vitamin E has the ability to attenuate oxidative stress, and its
antioxidant-related effects on various organs and systems have
been the focus of vast research. More recently, non-antioxidant
mechanisms have been proposed, such as those that affect cell-
signal transduction and gene expression.[1] Though the vast majority
of research has been on alpha-tocopherol, recent mechanistic studies
indicate that other isomers of vitamin E, such as gamma- and delta-
tocopherols and tocotrienols, have superior antioxidant and cell-
signaling properties that offer greater health benefits.*[2,3]
