tocopherol on it. Food naturally contains all four members - alpha, -beta, -delta and gamma
tocopherol (also known as mixed
tocopherols).

tocopherol - and for the next 70-80 years, vitamin E supplements contained only d-alpha

tocopherol - which have anti-inflammatory and
cardioprotective activity.
