Contains Natural Unesterified Mixed Tocopherols and Tocotrienols
DESCRIPTION
Tri-En-All 400 by Douglas Laboratories ® contains
400 I.U. of 100% natural-source, unesterified vitamin
E (d-alpha-tocopherol), as well as a guaranteed
minimum of the d-beta, d-gamma and d-delta
tocopherols, which is unique among most mixed
tocopherol products available. In addition, 25 mg of
palm derived mixed tocotrienols are included in Tri-En-
All 400. No synthetic vitamin E is used.
FUNCTIONS
Vitamin E is one of the body’s most important
antioxidant nutrients. Antioxidants protect healthy
cells from oxidative and free radical damage. Free
radicals are unstable chemicals formed in the body
during metabolism and from exposure to
environmental sources, such as pollution and
cigarette smoke.
Free radicals are necessary for
energy metabolism and immune function, but when
an excessive number of free radicals are formed, they
can attack healthy cells, especially cell membrane
lipids and proteins. This, in turn, is thought to
contribute to a number of degenerative diseases.
Vitamin E is an especially valuable antioxidant in the
cell membranes, where it prevents oxidation of
unsaturated fatty acids by trapping free radicals. This
helps stabilize and protect cell membranes, especially
red blood cells and tissues sensitive to oxidation,
such as the lungs, eyes, and arteries. Vitamin E also
protects the liver and other tissues from the free-radical
damage of toxicants, such as mercury, lead,
ozone, nitrous oxide, carbon tetrachloride, benzene,
cresol, and various drugs.
Related to its antioxidant properties, vitamin E is
important for normal immune function, and many
studies show that it prevents lipid peroxidation of
blood lipoproteins, such as LDL-cholesterol.
While many think that the term vitamin E refers to
a single entity, it actually describes a family of eight
different compounds known as the tocopherols and
the tocotrienols. Both the tocopherols and
tocotrienols are further divided into their alpha, beta,
gamma and delta isomers. These two groups of
compounds are similar with respect to their structure,
but do have subtle molecular structure differences.
The d-alpha tocopherol isomer is the most well-known
form of vitamin E. However, recent scientific
evidence indicates that gamma-tocopherol may
possess unique, distinguishable features. This
tocopherol is the major form of vitamin E in seeds
and in the US diet, though it has not been studied as
broadly as alpha-tocopherol. Numerous studies have
shown gamma-tocopherol to have excellent
antioxidant abilities that complement the antioxidant
ability of alpha-tocopherol. Additionally, some
studies have shown that high dose supplementation of
alpha-tocopherols can deplete both plasma and tissue
levels of gamma-tocopherol in the body.
Tocotrienols are found in various foods, but are
particularly abundant in rice bran and palm oil. Like
tocopherols, tocotrienols function as powerful
antioxidants. In certain systems, there is evidence that
tocotrienols may even possess greater antioxidant
activity compared with tocopherols. In addition to
their antioxidant function, tocotrienols have
demonstrated the ability to reduce cholesterol
synthesis by inhibiting the hepatic enzyme 3-
hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, a
rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis. This
finding has resulted in research investigating the
ability of tocotrienols to affect cholesterol levels as
well as other cardiovascular health parameters.
Tri-En-All 400 is different from most mixed
tocopherols products because it contains natural
mixed tocopherols with a minimum guaranteed
amount of the d-beta, d-gamma and d-delta
tocopherols, as well as a significant amount of natural
mixed tocotrienols.
INDICATIONS
Tri-En-All may be a useful dietary supplement for
individuals wishing to supplement their diet with all
eight forms of vitamin E.
SUGGESTED USE
Adults take 1 softgel daily with meals or as directed
