Benefits
- Vitamin E is the main antioxidant in various cell membranes.5 Multiple randomised, double-blinded placebo-controlled trials have shown tocotrienols to reduce DNA damage, sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency (the exchange of genetic material between two sister chromatids of a chromosome)6 and urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) (an indicator of DNA oxidation).7,8 Tocotrienols exert their antioxidant activity by decreasing super oxide dismutase (SOD) and increasing glutathione peroxidase.9
- Tocopherols demonstrate multiple protective mechanisms: γ-tocopherol has potent antioxidant effects and may protect lipids, DNA and proteins from peroxynitrite dependent damage by removing its nitrating ability.10 Tocopherols are more effective in combination at inhibiting platelet aggregation.11
- Complete vitamin E consists of eight isomers known as alpha, beta, gamma and delta tocopherols plus alpha, beta, gamma and delta tocotrienols.12 The synergy of mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols produce a broader therapeutic activity than a single tocopherol concentrate.13
