Total E is the first truly balanced, complete E-complex supplement. The E complex includes eight distinct vitamin E molecules: four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. Research shows that each of the different vitamin E molecules have unique functions. Total E contains antioxidants for the maintenance of good health.
Vitamin E is primarily an antioxidant and is one of five members of the body’s antioxidant network. Vitamin E is often used to help keep skin healthy and youthful, protecting it against UV damage and helping to heal wounds. Vitamin E is also often used for heart health. Unfortunately, results from clinical studies have not been consistent; this could be due to some studies using alpha-tocopherol alone, or worse, synthetic vitamin E. The benefits of all 8 members of the vitamin E family (four tocopherols and four tocotrienols) cannot be ignored. In fact, gamma-tocopherol and gamma-tocotrienol may be involved in helping to regulate blood pressure. In addition, people with low gamma-tocopherol have been found to have a higher incidence of prostate problems and cognitive decline.
In 2001, AOR introduced Total E, the first complete, balanced E-complex to North America. It provides all four tocopherols and four tocotrienols in their natural ratios. The formula also includes Coenzyme Q10, because this nutrient plays a vital role in “recharging” E vitamins to their active antioxidant forms when they are deactivated in the battle against free radicals.
People who supplement with regular vitamin E that contains only alpha-tocopherol (or one of the synthetic variations) should consider switching to a natural, full-spectrum vitamin E. Those who need antioxidant, skin health and cholesterol support may benefit from taking Total E.
