WHAT ARE THE TOCOPHEROL COMPLEX AND EVNOL COMPONENTS IN AO BOOSTER?
The vitamin E family has eight members: four tocopherols and four tocotrienols—alpha, beta, delta, and gamma (EVNol is a registered tocotrienol complex), all of which are found in AO Booster. Research suggests that a mix of tocopherols and tocotrienols provides optimal health benefits, as opposed to vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) alone.
Dr. Karin Granstrom Jordan writes: "While alpha-tocopherol has long been known as an important antioxidant, research has shown that the complete vitamin E team is much more effective. The various forms of vitamin E have complementary effects as free radical scavengers. Together, they can fight a broader spectrum of free radicals than alpha-tocopherol alone."
Without diminishing the well-known benefits of d-alpha tocopherol, the gamma tocopherol component may be equally, if not more, important. Research has suggested that supplementing with just the alpha tocopherol component (which is typically found in most supplements) can significantly reduce gamma tocopherol levels in the body.
According to vitamin E expert Dr. Maret G. Traber, "While both alpha- and gamma-tocopherol are powerful antioxidants, gamma-tocopherol has a unique function. Due to its different chemical structure, gamma-tocopherol traps reactive nitrogen species, which, like reactive oxygen species, can damage proteins, lipids, and DNA."
In addition to its impressive antioxidant properties, gamma tocopherol has been shown to offer superior anti-inflammatory benefits. Inflammation is a primary culprit in virtually all degenerative diseases. Gamma tocopherol also increases levels of both alpha and gamma tocopherol, while alpha tocopherol can only reduce gamma tocopherol levels in the body. AO Booster contains more gamma tocopherol than the other three tocopherols combined.
Tocotrienols can be even more powerful free radical scavengers than tocopherols. According to research by Dr. Lester Packer and Dr. Barrie Tan, tocotrienols can have 30-60 times the antioxidant power of alpha-tocopherol.
In addition to their powerful antioxidant properties, tocotrienols offer a wide range of health benefits, such as:
- Powerful support against cancer – Like tocopherols, tocotrienols help inhibit several mechanisms necessary for tumor development and growth.
- Improvement of cholesterol levels – Tocotrienols effectively block the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, one of the metabolic steps in cholesterol production.
- Protection against cardiovascular disease – Tocotrienols reduce blood levels of homocysteine (elevated levels have been linked to cardiovascular disease). One study showed that tocotrienols offered these benefits even more powerfully than folic acid, which is often considered the most important homocysteine-lowering agent.
Nutrition dust. - Protection against heart attack or stroke – Tocotrienols resist ischemia, which is defined as insufficient blood supply to an organ or part of the body, especially the heart muscles.
- Improvement of metabolic syndrome Tocotrienols have a positive effect and can help reverse many aspects of metabolic syndrome. This syndrome includes high blood pressure, high blood sugar, unhealthy cholesterol levels, and excess belly fat.
- Support against liver cancer and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) – Emerging research reveals that tocotrienols provide powerful support for liver health, with equally powerful protection against liver cancer and NAFLD.
SUMMARY
The benefits of combining all four tocopherols and all four tocotrienols are just the tip of the iceberg. Research continues to reveal even more potential benefits, such as protection against diabetes, osteoporosis, and neurodegenerative diseases. The tocopherols and tocotrienols that are present in
