    Tocotrienols as vitamin E?

    I've read that Peat discourages this, but for what reason? I've read a lot of stuff about tocotrienols promoting hair growth, and I came upon Peat through Danny Roddy, so I would like to take them if not harmful.

    Is It OK To Only Have Vitamin E Succinate

    I am wondering if it's OK to take vitamin E succinate (dry vitamin E) as my only vitamin E supplement. I have tried many different brands of the mixed vitamin E, and I always feel sick/toxic from them. I have tried them mixed into olive oil first, eaten with food, had small amounts, but I...

    Vitamin E (tocopherol) Is A Potent Aromatase Inhibitor

    Hi all, As you know Ray has written extensively on the benefits of Vitamin E though its actions as an estrogen antagonist. I opsted some studies that show that tocopherols act directly like estrogen "receptor" antagonist and this may explain some of their anti-estrogenic properties. However...

    Vitamin E Storage

    I think Peat advises to store progest-e in the refrigerator to preserve the vitamin E. So I asked Swanson if it was a good idea to store the vitamin E in the fridge. Apparently it might not be a good idea, but the reason is that the gelatin capsule might explode. Heat can damage vitamin E, so...

    Vitamin E dosage?

    I'm think of starting to supplement with vitamin E. I haven't taken any supplement yet, and have been eating Peat inspired for roughly 3 months now. I was planning on taking it prior to eating out or eating unfamiliar foods that may contain PUFA (1-2 every month). Should I take it more often...

    Vit. E, Potassium, calcium,...food or supp.'s

    I'm on an elimination diet. Trying to figure out which specific things are causing problems (chronic constipation {SIBO}, PCOS, Hypothyroid, allergies {although, I'm allergic to dust so it will probably not be possible to determine if any food source is causing allergies, since dust is...

    Vitamin E Concentration

    I read that one ounce of pure alpha tocopherol is equivalent to 28,000 International Units. Solgar's Liquid Vitamin E has 10,000 per ounce, which implies it's concentration is 36%. Lotion Crafter's Vitamin E concentration is 95%. This implies that to get 400 IU, one should consume 1/66 ounces...

    Alpha-tocopherol does NOT deplete gamma-tocopherol

    There is a lot of info on the web about alpha-tocopherol potentially competing with gamma-, beta-, and delta-tocopherols, and even depleting them when intake of alpha-tocopherol is increased. There are studies on PubMed that claim most/all anti-cancer effects vitamin E had shown in the past was...

    High Dose Vitamin E Supplements Antagonize Vitamin K

    These studies indicate that overdosing on Vitamin E antagonizes Vitamin K by reducing its tissue levels. The reduction appears to be partly related to the phenomenon thatg Vitamin E and K share similar transporters/metabolizing enzymes. When high dose Vitamin E is given it may block the...

    Vitamin E Making Me Feel Sick

    Hi there, Ok, so I've been trying to take Vitamin E. For various reasons I think I would really benefit from it. I'm also totally convinced by Peat's writings on the benefits, and what the Shutes say. In fact I'd really like to experiment with high doses of 2000 IU or more. My problem is I...

    Good Quality Vitamin E

    Hello all, I have been experimenting extensively on myself with various brands of tocopherols, and I would like to share my experience. Unfortunately, my experience with the Unique E brand of mixed tocopherols is NOT very positive. Initially (about 2 years ago) I had a very positive reaction to...

    Which Vitamin E Products Don't Contain Soy Oil?

    Lately I've been researching the various Vit.E supplements over here in the stores, most of them are made with sunflower,saffloer,soy or wheatgerm oil which I all don't want. There's one brand which I bought the last couple of times that's based on olive oil,but it's also a very expensive brand...
