For you, if you are looking for enhanced Vitamin E benefits and strong antioxidant protection

The potent formula of Gamma E Mixed Tocopherols can:

  • Offer a critically important form of vitamin E

  • Protect the body against oxidative damage

  • Promote a healthy inflammatory response

  • Fortified with synergistic sesame lignans to enhance vitamin E activity

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. The product combines alpha & gamma tocopherols to help inhibit oxidative stress and promote a healthy inflammatory response.

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 anti-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 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. 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. 

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. 

Tocotrienols, another member of the vitamin E family, are recognized as nature’s most potent antioxidants.
