Gamma E Mixed Tocopherol & Tocotrienols – 60 Softgels

Vitamin E

• The term “vitamin E” refers to a family of eight related, lipid‑soluble, antioxidant compounds present in plants.
• The tocopherol and tocotrienol subfamilies each have alpha, beta, gamma, and delta fractions with unique biological effects.
• In plants, different parts have different ratios of these compounds; green parts are rich in alpha tocopherol, while seeds and bran are richer in tocotrienols.
• Tocopherols and tocotrienols are concentrated in bran layers of grains and are present at low levels in the flour endosperm; they are also found in algae and other foods.
• One or more vitamin E family members may help maintain cell membrane integrity, act as free radical scavengers, support healthy cognition, immune function, and nervous system health.
• Alpha tocopherol displaces gamma tocopherol in the body; alpha inhibits free radical production, while gamma traps existing free radicals.
• Gamma tocopherol has been highlighted in journals as important for health; a combination of alpha- and gamma-tocopherol may be superior to either alone for reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
• Tocotrienols may better support arterial health; studies suggest they can help maintain triglyceride levels within a healthy range in aging individuals.
• Typical supplements mostly contain alpha tocopherol; gamma tocopherol can help quench peroxynitrite, a radical linked to age-related decline.
• Tocotrienols include gamma-, alpha-, and delta-tocotrienols, which have shown various neuroprotective and cardiovascular benefits in research.
