Gamma E Tocopherol/Tocotrienol

Description

Gamma E Mixed Tocopherols & Tocotrienols is an all-natural oral formula that provides a full spectrum of vitamin E for powerful antioxidant protection. The term "vitamin E" refers to a family of eight related fat-soluble antioxidant compounds widely present in plants. The tocopherol and tocotrienol subfamilies are each composed of alpha, beta, gamma, and delta fractions that have unique biological effects. Gamma E Mixed Tocopherols & Tocotrienols contains the full spectrum of all eight forms of vitamin E tocopherols and tocotrienols.

Benefits
Full-spectrum vitamin E, Powerful antioxidant protection, Provides both members of the vitamin E family: tocopherols and tocotrienols, Provides the optimal amount and ratio of alpha, beta, gamma, and delta subfamilies
Vitamin E is a family of antioxidant compounds

The term "vitamin E" refers to a family of eight related fat-soluble antioxidant compounds widely present in plants. The tocopherol and tocotrienol subfamilies are each composed of alpha, beta, gamma, and delta fractions that have unique biological effects.

Different proportions of these compounds are found in different parts of a plant. For example, the green parts of a plant primarily contain alpha-tocopherol and the seed germ and bran primarily contain tocotrienols.

Along with other nutrients, tocopherols and tocotrienols are concentrated in the bran layers of the rye grain and are only present at low levels in the endosperm of flour. Tocopherols are also present in algae, peppermint teas, and other foods.1-4

Vitamin E delivers powerful antioxidant benefits

As a family of antioxidant compounds, vitamin E is one of the most researched and most important nutrients to consume daily. One or more members of the vitamin E family can:

Maintain cellular membrane integrity and reduce cellular aging
Act as a free radical scavenger
Maintain healthy platelet aggregation
Promote a healthy nervous system and eye retina
Maintain healthy cognitive function
Enhance immune function
Gamma-tocopherol is critically important

Prestigious scientific journals have highlighted gamma-tocopherol as one of the most important forms of vitamin E for those seeking optimal health benefits. In fact, studies show that the combination of alpha- and gamma-tocopherol supplementation appears to be superior to either supplement alone in biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammatory factors.

Most commercial vitamin E supplements contain little to no gamma-tocopherol. Instead, they rely on alpha-tocopherol as the main ingredient. However, it is gamma-tocopherol (not the alpha form) that quenches peroxynitrite, the free radical that plays an important role in the development of age-related decline.

Tocotrienols support arteries 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 from dietary sources alone, can provide superior support for maintaining triglyceride levels already within the healthy range in aging individuals.

Just 120 mg per day of gamma-delta tocotrienols (provided in 3-4 softgels) induced a 28% decrease in blood triglyceride levels after only one month. This remarkable nutrient is so effective due to its double-bond structure in the isoprenoid side chain, making it a great free radical scavenger.

Research has shown that tocotrienols display potent neuroprotective properties, and in particular, alpha-tocotrienol is touted as the most potent neuroprotective form of vitamin E.
