Снова о вреде витамина Е в том виде, в котором его прописывают врачи.
This Technical Communication is in response to an article published on Nov 10th 2004 in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Researchers at Johns Hopkins examined 19 different vitamin E studies between 1966 and 2004 to a meta-analysis. The total number of subjects (age 47 - 84 years old) in these 19 studies was 135,967. The dosages of vitamin E ranged from 16.5 to 2000 I per day. The meta-analysis suggests that too much of vitamin E (400 I or more per day) increases the risk of all-cause mortality.


...Similarly, a high dosage of alpha-tocopherol alone has been shown to deplete the body's gamma-tocopherol. Despite alpha tocopherol's action as an antioxidant, gamma tocopherol is required to effectively remove the harmful peroxynitrite-derived nitrating species. Because large doses of dietary alpha tocopherol displace gamma tocopherol in plasma and other tissues, the current wisdom of vitamin E supplementation with primarily alpha tocopherol should be reconsidered. Other forms of vitamin E gamma-tocopherol, delta-tocopherol and certainly tocotrienols have been proven to have unique health properties.

Taking a single form of vitamin E (ie : alpha-tocopherol alone) denies the very fact that nature put seven (7) different forms of tocopherols and tocotrienols there for a reason.

We should be taking the wholesome full spectrum vitamin E : d mixed tocopherols + d-mixedtocotrienols (E COMPLETE) - as that which is produced and found in nature. Like the carotenoids, all these different forms of vitamin E work synergistically and depends on each other for optimum functionality.

Natural phytonutrients just don't work well in isolation from each other. We sincerely believe (from scientific evidence) that most people would benefit from taking a full spectrum Vitamin E supplement that consists of d-mixed tocopherols + d-mixed tocotrienols, and that this would be safer than just the alpha-tocopherol alone.

Надо ли уточнять, что еще лет шесть-семь назад все это было уже известно? По крайней мере, я лично уже знала о таких исследованиях.
А врачи и сегодня по-прежнему продолжают прописывать альфа-токоферол, а больничные кассы - субсидировать.
