Gamma E Mixed Tocopherols & TocotrienolsItem Catalog Number: 02070EU60 softgelsVitamin 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.Benefits at a Glance:Provides potent antioxidant protectionEncourages healthy platelet activityPromotes a healthy nervous system & retina of the eye Maintains healthy cognitive functionSupports healthy immune functionAlpha and Gamma-Tocopherol: Better TogetherStudies 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.The tocopherol and tocotrienol subfamilies of vitamin E are each composed of alpha, beta, gamma and delta fractions that have complementary biological activity.1-3 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.4Gamma Tocopherol is Critically ImportantEvidence 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.5Most 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, the free radical that plays a major role in the development of age-related decline.6Tocotrienols Support Blood Vessels and NervesTocotrienols have shown superior action in maintaining arterial health.7,8 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.9Research has shown that tocotrienols display neuroprotective properties and, in particular, alpha-tocotrienol has been shown to be a potent neuroprotective form of vitamin E.10,11SUPPLEMENT FACTSServing Size 1 softgelAmount Per ServingVitamin E (as D-alpha tocopherol)30.15 mgGamma E mixed tocopherols360 mgMixed tocotrienols/tocopherol complex145 mgOther ingredients: gelatin, glycerin, medium chain triglycerides oil, purified water, sunflower oil, rosemary extract.NON GMODosage and UseTake one (1) softgel once or twice daily with food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.The natural separation of active ingredients may occur.CautionIf you are taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, or have a bleeding disorder, consult your healthcare provider before taking this product.CautionKEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDRENDO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED DOSEDo not purchase if outer seal is broken or damaged.When using nutritional supplements, please consult with your physician if you are undergoing treatment for a medical condition or if you are pregnant or lactating.+ References Life sciences. 2006;78(18):2088-2098.Lipids. 1996;31(7):671-701.IUBMB Life. 2019;71(4):495-506.Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences. 2002;21(1):31-57.Free Radic Biol Med. 2008;44(6):1203-8.Med Hypotheses. 2007;69(6):1367-70.Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine. 2016;3:39.Food & nutrition research. 2016;60(1):31526.J Atheroscler Thromb. 2010;17(10):1019-32.Neuropharmacology. 2004;47(6):904-915.Stroke. 2005;36(10):e144-e152.
