So I am looking to replace my vitamin e supplement I just realized the one I got from costco is dl-alpha tocopherol which is not only one kind but it’s also synthetic. Garbage.
I am looking to learn about the differences in tocopherols and whether people believe a mix or solo amount are best. Has anyone seen any benefit for hair as well?
I have heard many good thing about gamma tocopherols studies show this form inhibits cox while alpha does not
Something interesting to note this is an excerpt from this journal Vitamin E in dermatology
“γ-Tocopherol levels exceeding those of α-Toc in human skin,[4] inhibits the production of PGE2 and nitric oxide, and also prevents sunburn cell formation, ultraviolet (UV) B-induced lipid peroxidation and edema,[5,6] wherefore it has a role in epidermal protection from oxidative stress. Vitamin E also has a role in photoadduct formation and immunosuppression.[7]”
I find this interesting because @haidut mentioned that there’s no evidence that gamma or alpha antagonize each other but their imbalance causes different reactions?
thank you all
