Natural vitamin E complex has been attacked by some in the medical community since the Shute brothers first used it to successfully treat heart disease. One of the arguments which was voiced to me by a physician a number of years ago was that the synthetic was just as effective and DL alpha tocopherol was available for a fraction of the cost of the natural vitamin E complex which includes four tocopherols and four tocotrienols.
A recent study found that the four tocotrienols all have anti-cancer properties. The effectiveness against lung and brain cancers was demonstrated to be associated with total quantity of the tocotrienols and also the period of time they are in contact with cancer cells. The tocotrienols both killed cancer cells and also triggered them to commit suicide. Delta-tocotrienol was shown to be the most effective anti-cancer agent of the four tocotrienols in this study. The researchers concluded, "Tocotrienols in particular the delta isomer can be an alternative chemotherapeutic agent for treating lung and brain cancers." These unrecognized nutritional factors, a natural part of the vitamin E complex, can not be that unimportant if researchers are suggesting that they be used as chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of brain and lung cancers!
NeoLife Vitamin E Complex has always contained the entire family of vitamin E factors including all the tocotrienols and tocopherols. It is just the way nature does things!
