I wonder if wheat germ oil is ok for people who identify themselves as gluten sensitive? I suppose that answer might be found on the celiac website. Although my views have changed somewhat on this topic I still avoid gluten like the plague.

Q:here are several studies showing anti-cancer benefit of vitamin E succinate.
Do you think absence of soybean oil in E succinate makes it better than
commercial d-alpha-tocopherol in soybean oil?
Is there any harm in using only d-alpha tocopherol (succinate ) instead of mixed tocopherols.
Ray Peat said:If the potency of a vitamin E product is around 1000 i.u. per milliliter, the amount of soy oil isn't a concern, but if it's only about 100 i.u./ml, then there's enough oil to matter.
The succinate is probably part of the anticancer effect.
Mittir said:I asked Ray Peat about vitamin E succinate and i got this reply.
He did not answer the last part of the question.

@haidut You may be interested in this given the effects on androgen receptors.
RP recommends mixed tocopherols. He thinks alpha tocopherol works only as an anti oxidant
and does not have the other protective properties of anti-clot, anti- estrogen etc.
I do not remember him saying anything about adverse effects of using d-alpha-tocopherol only.
RP himself stopped using vitamin E. Need for E depends on PUFA storage and intake.
He thinks quality of vitamin E has changed since soy oil industry got into making vitamin E.
I have used both d-alpha-tocopherol and mixed tocopherol ( GNC brand) and there is
better result from mixed tocopherols. In my experience, benefits from blocking the PUFA release
by Niacinamide is way higher than vitamin E of both kinds.
From google search it looks like there are tons of studies on anti-cancer property of
d-alpha tocopherol succinate. In theory alpha-tocopherol and succinate should have same benefits
but these papers seems to indicate succinate has something special in it.
My guess is that processing of E succinate from soy is better than regular d-alpha-tocopherol.
I think it would be a good idea to shoot an email to RP asking if
there is any harm in using only d-alpha tocopherol and what is his thoughts
on Anti-cancer research using Vitamin E succinate.
Vitamin E Succinate lowered my elevated liver enzymes to normal in one month using 800iu a day of vitaminshoppe brand.. nothing else ever worked
800 iu a day of vitamin E succinate.. I started a very low vitamin A diet to see if I have improvement in other health parameters and partly doing this as an experiment because E is supposed to be antagonistic to vitamin A so we will seeWow! Curious- what else had you tried? Any other benefits noted, and are you still using this form? How much per day? Thanks for feedback, and good for you!

Yes I wanted to add that my blood sugars with the elevated liver enzymes and my confirmed fatty liver by a ultrasound have normalized into normal range otherwise no other effects from supplement.. I’m impressed because I have tried many things for liver suggested on this forum with mild improvement but not effective like E succinateAre you still taking E succinate at 800iu?
