Complete
spectrum of vitamin E for antioxidant protection
Gamma E Mixed Tocopherols & Tocotrienols
contains the complete spectrum of vitamin E compounds for potent antioxidant
benefits.
Overview
What
Are Gamma E Mixed Tocopherols & Tocotrienols?
Vitamin E is a family of eight
related, lipid-soluble, antioxidant compounds widely present in plants. The
tocopherol and tocotrienol subfamilies are each composed of alpha, beta, gamma
and delta fractions that have different biological activity.
Vitamin
E compounds are some of the most researched and most important nutrients to
include in your daily regimen.

Alpha
and Gamma-Tocopherol: Better Together
Studies have shown that the
gamma-tocopherol form of vitamin E is especially important for those seeking
optimal health benefits. But the combination of alpha- and gamma-tocopherol
supplementation appears to be superior to either tocopherol alone on biomarkers
of oxidative stress and other whole-body health factors.
Product Details
The tocopherol and tocotrienol
subfamilies of vitamin E are each composed of alpha, beta, gamma and delta
fractions that have complementary biological activity. Different ratios of
these compounds are found in different parts of a plant. For example, the green
parts of a plant contain mostly alpha tocopherol, while the bran and seed germ
contain mostly tocotrienols
Gamma Tocopherol is Critically
Important
Evidence suggests that gamma
tocopherol is one of the most critically important forms of vitamin E for those
seeking optimal health benefits. But studies show the combination of alpha- and
gamma-tocopherol supplementation appears to be superior to either tocopherol
alone on biomarkers of oxidative stress and other whole body health factors.
Most commercial vitamin E
supplements contain little, if any, gamma tocopherol. They instead rely on
alpha tocopherol as the primary ingredient. However, it’s the gamma tocopherol
(not the alpha form) that quenches peroxynitrite, a free radical that may play
a role in the development of age-related decline.
Tocotrienols Support Blood Vessels
and Nerves
Tocotrienols have shown superior
action in maintaining arterial health. In 2010, a team of Asian scientists
demonstrated that this class of nutrients, which are difficult to obtain in
sufficient quantities through dietary sources alone, may provide superior
support in maintaining triglyceride levels already within a healthy range in
aging individuals.
Research has shown that tocotrienols
display neuroprotective properties and, in particular, alpha-tocotrienol has
been shown to be a potent neuroprotective form of vitamin E.
