Details:
Eight forms of vitamin E have been identified as existing in nature. These belong either to the tocopherol sub-family, consisting of alpha tocopherol, beta tocopherol, gamma tocopherol and delta tocopherol, or to the tocotrienol sub-family, consisting of alpha tocotrienol, beta tocotrienol, gamma tocotrienol and delta tocotrienol. The scientific focus is slowly shifting away from "vitamin E" to specific tocopherols and tocotrienols.
It turns out that the heretofore neglected beta, gamma and delta tocopherols and tocotrienols seem to have important health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective and anticancer activity. Gamma tocopherol in particular also has the ability to protect against nitrogen-based free radicals, which alpha tocopherol cannot do. Nitrogen free radicals play an important role in diseases associated with chronic inflammation, including cancer, heart disease and degenerative brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
Edible Science offers a truly blended Vitamin E with 400mg mixed tocopherols and 300mg gamma tocopherols.
