ABSTRACT:
Compositions for increased antioxidant potency of natural vitamin E(d-alpha-tocopherol), comprising alpha-, beta-, delta-, and gamma-forms of tocopherols and tocotrienols are disclosed. All of these compositions provide 400 International Units (IU), based on one mg of d-alpha-tocopherol provides 1.49 IU. These compositions showed antioxidant activities superior to natural d-alpha-tocopherol. These compositions are designed to provide protection of the cell membrane lipid layer, and protection against heart disease, cancer, and eye disease.
