Vitamin E powder
Vernon Walden low-alpha mixed tocopherol powder (vitamin E) is derived from
mixed
tocopherol oils that contain four different isomers. Isomer levels vary, but in
all cases delta and gamma tocopherol levels are higher than alpha levels. In vivo
research indicates gamma tocopherol offers stronger benefits than alpha tocopherol,
especially in terms of cardiac health, inflammation suppression, and toxin reduction.
Other studies suggest synergistic benefits of ingesting alpha-gamma combination,
but only if gamma level exceeds alpha level because alpha isomers block absorption
of gamma tocopherols. Additionally, low-alpha tocopherol mixtures better resemble
what you ingest by eating vitamin-E-rich foods.
