Vitamers for Vitamin E
Vitamin E for example has 2 distinct families of Vitamers:
the Tocopherols(alpha, beta, gamma, delta) & the Tocotrienols (alpha, beta,
gamma, delta) - each from different sources. The Tocopherol vitamers come from
Wheat Germ oil, which are actually very low ion tocotrienol content. The
Tocotrienols are mainly in Palm Oil and in rice Bran Oil. The vitamers from
each side of the family perform slightly different biological roles. The full
effect of Vitamin E, especially its roles in arteriosclerosis, anti-oxidant
activity and cholesterol - both sides of the vitamer are essential.
