Gamma E Mixed Tocopherols, 60 softgels - Life Extension

Gamma E Mixed Tocopherols:

• Contains a critically important form of vitamin E
• Protects the body against oxidative damage
• Fortified with synergistic sesame lignans 

Gamma E Mixed Tocopherols contains gamma tocopherol, a critically important form of vitamin E not found in traditional vitamin E supplements which rely on alpha-tocopherol. Tocopherols belong to the vitamin E family and are antioxidants that are inhibiting free radicals in the human body, thereby countering the aging process, and protecting the cells.

Health Benefits at a Glance:

The Gamma E Mixed Tocopherols formula provides gamma tocopherol, a critically important form of vitamin E which can quench some of the most common free radicals. For an enhanced antioxidative effect and ageing-aging support, sesame lignans have been added to the formula to elevate the tissue levels of vitamin C and E, which both have antioxidative qualities.

Why it Works:

Most commercial vitamin E supplements contain very small amounts if any gamma tocopherol (a specific type of vitamin E) at all. Special for this type of vitamin E is that it´s highly effective against one of the most dangerous free radicals in the body: peroxynitrite. This free radical is a big culprit in encouraging age-related decline [1] why using gamma tocopherol to inhibit this type of free radical can help counteract the aging process.

Life Extension has fortified its Gamma E Tocopherol supplement with standardized sesame lignans. Sesame lignans have been shown to promote antioxidative activity in tissues by increasing the levels of two antioxidative vitamins, vitamin C and E [2]. In combination with tocopherols this provides a dual defense against free radicals. The Gamma E Mixed Tocopherols formula provides a potent dose of gamma tocopherol along with an extract from sesame lignans to help defend against free radicals, protect cells and inhibit the aging process.

The Science Behind the Product:

Gamma tocopherol is considered very important because gamma tocopherol and not the ubiquitary alpha-tocopherol scavenges a particularly serious type of free radical called peroxynitrite [1]. Human studies demonstrated that a combination of gamma tocopherol with sesame lignans was 25% more effective than gamma tocopherol/tocotrienols in suppressing tissue measurements for free radical and inflammatory response [3]. Tocotrienols, another member of the vitamin E family, are recognized as nature’s most potent antioxidants. Therefore, it is a remarkable finding that low-cost gamma tocopherol with sesame is so effective.
