I am currently using 2 different Vit E (alpha-d-tocophorol) and gamma

300. But there are brands ( found one) that does combine the 2

together. I am getting mixed comments from the vit E experts re:

importance of gamma. One camp says its very important and has

antioxidative abilities, may help in asthma (the NIH is now studying

this), and another says its overrated and really alpha is most

important. Clearly alpha is most important and what our body uses.

There is enough support to suggest gamma may also provide benefits,

and with high alpha supplements, you can get a decrease in gamma. So I

am supplementing with both - mostly alpha, but adding some gamma (1

gamma 300 a day). If you can't find gamma, and only use alpha - that

is OK too. Really we don't know what the best combo will be. But at

this point I think omega 3 plus vit E is going to be better than omega

3 alone.

Anyone trying vit E should spend a little time in the vitamin isle of

a health food store. It is overwhelming in the beginning (even if you

have a medical degree) - but after a while you get more familiar with

what is available, and will feel more comfortable with brands you

choose etc. This is a learning process for all of us. -
