A new animal study compared the effectiveness of various forms of vitamin E in the quality of bone formation. The study found that gamma tocotrienol Specialized form of vitamin E. Powerful antioxidant showing positive benefits for cholesterol, cardiovascular, neurological health and cancer risk reduction.1 was the best form that supported multiple aspects of bone integrity during the process of normal bone formation. The experiment involved male rats that were fed a diet bolstered with plain vitamin E (alpha tocopherol), delta tocotrienol Specialized form of vitamin E. Powerful antioxidant showing positive benefits for cholesterol, cardiovascular, neurological health and cancer risk reduction., gamma tocotrienol Specialized form of vitamin E. Powerful antioxidant showing positive benefits for cholesterol, cardiovascular, neurological health and cancer risk reduction., or control (olive oil). After 4 months the animals were sacrificed and the quality of their bone architecture was analyzed. While all forms of vitamin E showed better quality bones compared to the control group, the gamma tocotrienol Specialized form of vitamin E. Powerful antioxidant showing positive benefits for cholesterol, cardiovascular, neurological health and cancer risk reduction. group was best. This study indicates the possibility that regular consumption of tocotrienols will assist in the ongoing process of bone remodeling, supporting higher quality bone formation. Share:
