Vitamin E

2011-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Tocochromanols are a small group of natural products synthesized exclusively by photosynthetic organisms and include the tocopherols and tocotrienols that are vitamin E, an essential lipid-soluble antioxidant in the human diet. The major source of vitamin E in the human diet is plant-derived products, which can vary by orders of magnitude in tocochromanol content and composition and hence vitamin E activity. In th...
