Gamma E Complex offers high-strength antioxidant action to help protect the heart, prostate, and colon from the harmful effects of free radicals. It uses the gamma-Tocopherol form of Vitamin E because of its potential ability to trap and get rid of destructive forms of free radicals. Free radicals are implicated in atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and some forms of cancers.

NOW Foods Gamma E Complex can supply a powerful antioxidant action which can be very useful for many organs in the body and in achieving total well being. Gamma-Tocopherol is indicated in the prevention of atherosclerosis, a condition in which fat accumulates in the arteries causing constricted blood flow. Atherosclerosis can cause hypertension. This form of Vitamin E is also associated with reducing cases of angina and death from ischemic heart disease. It can also be involved in eye health by preventing cataracts and progression of age-related maculopathy. By preventing destruction of DNA in cells, Gamma E Complex may be helpful in averting colon and prostate cancers.
Vitamin E is not a single vitamin. It is a family of fat-soluble nutrients with very potent antioxidant properties. This family if composed of a group of tocopherols and tocotrienols differentiated by four different isomers: alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-. The tocopherol groups include alpha-tocopherol, beta-tocopherol, gamma-tocopherol, and delta-tocopherol while the tocotrienol group includes alpha-tocotrienol, beta-tocotrienol, gamma-tocotrienol, and delta-tocotrienol. Each distinct form of Vitamin E has their unique structure and biological activities producing diverse therapeutic benefits. Of all of them, gamma-tocopherol is the most common form of Vitamin E present in the diet and is thought to be most effective in trapping and getting rid of free radicals. NOW Foods Gamma E Complex balances all the tocopherols complemented with tocotrienols to produce high-potency antioxidant actions to help fight against ageing, heart diseases, and cancers.
