Life Extension Gamma E Mixed Tocopherols & Tocotrienols 60 Softgels

The vitamin is very good. It’s oil based, which is the best base for most vitamins, in terms of maximum absorption. Not only that, but the oil they used for this vitamin is sunflower oil, the one oil known for naturally containing high levels of vitamin E. Sunflower oil also contains vitamin K1 and is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids, both of which help lower LDL (bad cholesterol) in the body. In addition to that, rosemary extract was added to this vitamin. Rosemary essential oil has anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties, and contains antioxidants, but it has a very unpleasant taste. Also, unlike most vitamin Es on the market, this vitamin contains both types of vitamin E: tocopherols AND tocotrienols. The health benefits of both are tremendous (protect DNA from free radical damage (cancer-preventing property), strengthens immune system, protects cell membranes, shelters active enzyme sites from damage, reduces cholesterol, protects against brain cell damage, etc.). However, because tocotrienols are so much more potent then tocopherols, this vitamin must be consumed with caution. The dose provided here in one capsule is rather high, and may cause adverse reactions, such as stomach pain, headache, nausea and even vomiting. To avoid these unpleasant reactions, I recommend taking a smaller dose. I personally bite a hole in the capsule and squeeze it’s contents onto a piece of bread, leaving some still in a capsule, so I don’t take a full dose. Also, make sure you take this vitamin with food, as taking it on an empty stomach increases the likelihood of adverse reactions. For best preservation, after opening the bottle, I keep the vitamin refrigerated. Vitamin came in good condition and arrived on time.

I have not bought this brand before, but really good quality. I will buy it again.

Vitamin E is great for skin, nails, and hair. This product works and l highly recommend it. If you have a cold sore and it is in remission take this product to speed up the healing process.

Good quality product, fair price and fast delivery. Thanks

I bought these to avoid the synthetic dl-alpha tocopheral in most store-bought vitamins. There is some disagreement in the scientific studies as to whether the synthetic blocks uptake of the natural vitamin E in diet, but I have macular degeneration and am not taking the chance.
