| 11. | Natural alpha-tocopherol is the RRR-alpha ( or ddd-alpha ) form.
|
| 12. | It is important, however, that carotenoid and tocopherol levels remained within the normal ranges.
|
| 13. | In plants it is also the precursor to carotenoids, gibberellins, tocopherols, and chlorophylls.
|
| 14. | The plant has a potent antioxidant activity with a significant ?-tocopherol equivalent Vitamin E.
|
| 15. | Study subjects took 50 units of vitamin E as alpha tocopherol, the most biologically active form.
|
| 16. | Synthetic Vitamin E is labeled dl-alpha tocopherol; natural is labeled d-alpha tocopherol.
|
| 17. | Synthetic Vitamin E is labeled dl-alpha tocopherol; natural is labeled d-alpha tocopherol.
|
| 18. | Alpha tocopheryl esters are de-esterified in the gut and then absorbed as the free tocopherol.
|
| 19. | For example, ?-tocopherol is present in higher concentrations in the secretions of red morphs.
|
| 20. | ?-Tocopherol is a form of vitamin E that is preferentially absorbed and accumulated in humans.
