À propos de cet audio

Vitamin E is not a single compound but a group of related compounds, primarily tocopherols and tocotrienols. Research showing negative effects often focuses on isolated alpha-tocopherol, which can act as a pro-oxidant under certain conditions, potentially causing harm. In contrast, tocotrienols are more potent, offering benefits such as neuroprotection, reduction of atherosclerotic lesions, anti-inflammatory properties, and anti-cancer effects. While both forms exist in food sources, tocotrienols are generally less common and are considered especially valuable for age-related cognitive decline and managing oxidative stress.
