There are many different types of vitamin E but the most commonly known are alpha, beta, delta and gamma tocopherols, and alpha, beta, delta and gamma tocotrienols.

 

Alpha tocopherol is probably the best known of all.

 

Alpha tocopherol can be produced synthetically in a lab and although the synthetic type is effective as an antioxidant, it is widely accepted that Natural Vitamin E works more efficiently.

Although Alpha tocopherol has for a long time been the type of Vitamin E considered to be the one that is most easily synthesised by the body when taken as a vitamin supplement, it is now believed that other types of vitamin E are equally important, and in some cases, more so.

 

When different types of tocopherols are mixed together they work synergistically to give a highly efficient antioxidant effect both on the skin and in products.

 

The interaction of the tocopherols is complex, however, too much alpha tocopherol appears to have the opposite effect and can sometimes speed up the process of oxidation and lower the effectiveness of the other types of tocopherol.

 

That is why in mixed tocopherols you will find that the amount of alpha tocopherol is typically low.

 

Aromantic's Natural Vitamin E contains a maximum of 14% alpha tocopherol.
