Vitamin E pills questioned in new study findings
A study to be published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences argues that alpha-tocopherol from pills provides an incomplete vitamin E action. Gamma-tocopherol, found in soybeans nuts and grains, also removes peroxynitrite and nitrogen oxide, suggesting supplements should include the second form. Researchers from the University of California Berkeley urge modest pill doses and diet-based intake for full benefit.
