Thorne Research Ultimate-E
What Ultimate-E is Best For
Ultimate-E may be used for the following:
- Contains all of the natural forms of vitamin E
- Provides gamma tocopherol
How Ultimate-E Works
Ultimate-E by Thorne Research contains all of the natural isomers of vitamin E. Tocopherols provide protection from free radicals and products of oxygenation, including lipid peroxides and singlet oxygen radicals.* Gamma-tocopherol inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase, whereas alpha-tocopherol does not appear to have a significant effect on this enzyme.* Human studies comparing diets supplemented with both gamma- and alpha-tocopherols (more gamma than alpha) to diets supplemented primarily with alpha-tocopherol found more DNA protection in the mixed-tocopherol group than in the alpha-tocopherol-only group.*
