• Most vitamin E products contain only d’alphatocopherol and often the synthetic form. There is much more to vitamin E than d’alphatocopherol. There are eight compounds that make up the vitamin E family. Our food contains all eight compounds and this is the form our bodies have been processing since the beginning of our time.
• New Roots Vitamin E8 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 some functions that are similar and other functions that are completely different. Also where they go in our body is different especially for alpha-tocopherol versus the others. This is because our body has a mechanism to tell alpha-tocopherol from the others. Vitamin E has other functions completely unrelated to its role as an antioxidant. These vitamin E compounds are antioxidants and serve to trap free radicals that can damage cell membranes, protein, and DNA. Each member of the vitamin E family, however, has its own unique benefits. Gamma-tocopherol, for example, has a greater ability to detoxify nitrogen radicals that are associated with neurological disease, inflammation, and prostate cancer.
