The main objective of taking supplements that contain vitamin E is the neutralization of destructive free radicals. Vitamin E occurs in four types of which the most important are the alpha-tocopherol and gamma- tocopherol.
More and more studies have shown that alpha- tocopherol is dangerous to be taken alone and has to be taken parallel with gamma-tocopherol. According to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, alpha-tocopherol possesses the ability to displace the valuable gamma-tocopherol found in the cells. Although alpha-tocopherol inhibits lipid peroxidation, gamma- tocopherol is necessary to neutralize dangerous free radicals such as the peroxynitrite radical.
Life Extension through research has in addition discovered that adding sesame lignans to gamma-tocopherol enhances its antioxidant action significantly. Consequently it has enriched this food supplement with sesame lignans so as to maximize the antioxidants benefits of gamma- tocopherol.
