About
Gamma Tocopherol
Gamma Tocopherol is part of the vitamin E family and has both antioxidant
and non-antioxidant functions in the human body. Recent research suggests
that:
| •
|
Gamma
Tocopherol inhibits the proliferation of prostate and lung cancer
cells and even causes cell death in prostate cancer cells. There
were no negative affects on normal prostate cells.* |
•
|
Gamma Tocopherol
is an antioxidant and acts as a potent anti-inflammatory both
in vitro and in vivo.** |
•
|
Gamma Tocopherol
has an anti-carcinogenic effect via it's upregulation of PPARgamma
activity.*** |
•
|
Taking a vitamin E supplement
with only alpha tocopherol instead of the entire tocopherol family
depletes the level of gamma tocopherol in the body.**** |
Unlike
other vitamin E supplements that provide little to no gamma tocopherol,
UNIQUE E provides a
powerful 300 mg of gamma tocopherol in every capsule. While researchers
and marketers alike have only recently recognized the importance of
gamma tocopherol, our customers know that A.C. Grace Company has proclaimed
the importance of gamma tocopherol for many years. Vitamin E is a
complex of molecules that work together synergistically. UNIQUE E
is a specialized proprietary formula of concentrated tocopherols specifically
designed to provide the highest biological activity and maximum synergistic
benefits of the all-natural complex.
