Vitamin E is one of the major fat-soluble antioxidants. It can go where ordinary water-soluble antioxidants cannot. Vitamin E helps prevent oxygen in red blood cells from turning into harmful peroxides. It also protects other vitamins from oxidation in the digestive tract.
Most vitamin E products contain only d-alpha-tocopherol. There's much more to vitamin E than d- alpha -tocopherol.alpha-tocopherol. Eight compounds make up the vitamin E family. Our food contains all eight compounds, and this is the form that has been used by our bodies since the dawn of time.
Vitamin E8 from New Roots Herbal contains all eight members of the vitamin E family, four tocopherols and four tocotrienols, extracted from vegetable oils that are present in their natural, fully active, unesterified form. The eight members of the vitamin E family have certain functions that are similar and others that are completely different. For example gamma-tocopherol has a greater capacity to decontaminate nitrogen radicals, which are associated with neurological diseases, inflammation and prostate cancer.
New Roots Herbal Vitamin E8 comes from non-GMO sources. This natural, complete vitamin E formula offers all the vitamin E benefits you'd get from food, and includes the benefits of tocotrienols, phytosterols and squalenes.
Phytosterols have cholesterol-lowering properties and may reduce the risk of heart disease. They are very important for maintaining healthy skin and a youthful appearance. Squalenes interact with the glycolipids present in the skin. They help maintain the skin's protective properties and flexibility.
