Ultra Gamma Vitamin E 60 softgels | Designs for Health
full-spectrum Vitamin E product, including tocotrienols for expanded health benefits
This full-spectrum vitamin E product includes all 8 naturally occurring tocopherol and tocotrienol isomers that are found in nature. Studies now suggest that both the molecular and therapeutic targets of the tocotrienols are distinct from those of the tocopherols.
Why include Tocotrienols?
Taken orally, tocotrienols are bioavailable to all vital organs. Studies have shown that tocotrienols may exhibit neuroprotective, anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties, and may help to protect the skin from UVB damage.*
The Teamwork of Vitamin E
While Ultra Gamma E Complex contains the complete cast of the vitamin E family, it delivers increased levels of gamma-tocopherol, the form of vitamin E most associated with expanded health benefits. Gamma tocopherol represents typically about 70% of the vitamin E consumed in a typical US diet. Recent research indicates that gamma tocopherol may be more effective than alpha tocopherol for prostate cancer prevention and reducing oxidative DNA damage.* It should be noted that high doses of alpha-tocopherol deplete plasma and tissue gamma-tocopherol
