Good natural palm oil will have a natural ratio of 25:75% tocopherols to tocotrienols. For a completely natural form of vit e with all 8 isomers, NOT made from soy check out Purely-E by north American herb and spice.
What is Vitamin E3?
Tocotrienol. Vitamin E , or Tocols consist of a group of analogs wich are named Tocpherols or Tocotrienols (plus the seldom Tocomonoenols). Tocotrienols, shortly T3, TCT or Vitamin E3 differs from the more widespread Tocopherols by a threefold unsaturated side-chain, which enables the molecules to spread more rapidly in tissues. Therefore it reaches the cell locations where it performs it's antioxidant action more thoroughly. It has been shown that in cell membranes Tocotrienols posess a 40- to 60- fold antioxidant effect, compared to alpha-tocopherol. Furthermore Vitamin E3 posesses some health properties not found in normal Tocopherols. They are capable to lower cholesterol in humans, they are anti-inflammatory and probably anti-cancer. Tocotrienol or Vitamin E3 is found in red palm oil or rice bran oil, plus to a much lower degree in barley oil and other natural sources of Vitamin E.
What are the symptoms in the absence of vitamin E and vitamin K?
The abscence of vitamin E (the generic name for all tocol and tocotrienol derivatives that exhibit qualitatively the biological activity of alpha-tocopherol) is a rare event in humans, but is characterized by peripheral neuropathy and spinocerebellar ataxia.The absence of vitamin K (a generic name for 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone and all of its derivatives) causes a prolonged clotting times and hemorrhagic disease.
