lNew Roots Herbal’s Vitamin E8 contains all eight members of the vitamin E family —four tocopherols and four tocotrienols— extracted from vegetable oils that are present in their natural, fully active unesterified form. The eight members of the vitamin E family have some functions that are similar and other functions that are completely different. For example, gamma-tocopherol has a greater ability to detoxify nitrogen radicals that are associated with neurological disease and inflammation.
