About Gamma Tocopherols

Each capsule of UNIQUE E® Mixed Tocopherols Concentrate contains a minimum of 300mg of d-gamma tocopherol.

Gamma Tocopherol is part of the Vitamin E family and has both antioxidant and non-antioxidant functions in the human body.

Recent research suggests that;

• Gamma Tocopherol supports a strong immune system and normal cell growth. * & **
• Gamma Tocopherol is an antioxidant and acts as a potent anti-inflammatory both in vitro and in vivo. ***
• Taking a Vitamin E supplement with only d-alpha tocopherol instead of the entire mixed tocopherols family of isomers depletes the level of d-gamma tocopherol in the body. ****

Unlike other Vitamin E supplements that provide little to no d-gamma tocopherol, UNIQUE E® provides a powerful 300mg of d-gamma tocopherol in every capsule. While researchers and marketers alike have only recently recognized the importance of d-gamma tocopherol, our customers know that A.C. Grace Company has proclaimed the importance of d-gamma tocopherol since 1962! Vitamin E is a complex of molecules that work together synergistically. UNIQUE E® is a specialized proprietary formula of concentrated tocopherols specifically designed to provide the highest biological activity and maximum synergistic benefits of the all-natural complex.

The NATURAL formula contained in UNIQUE E® is High in GAMMA and High in ALPHA content because we know the two isomers work closely together in the human body. Then we add a proprietary amount of each of the DELTA an BETA isomers to provide a full-complex of the four tocopherol isomers as they work synergistically together in the body, just as in nature.
