(-)-gamma-Tocotrienol

(-)-gamma-Tocotrienol by Extrasynthese acts as an antioxidant and protective agent. Derived from wheat germ oil, this vitamin E helps reduce oxidation of lipid membranes and the unsaturated fatty acids and prevents the breakdown of other nutrients by oxygen. Its activity is further enhanced by other antioxidants, such as vitamin C, beta-carotene, glutathione (L-cysteine), and the mineral selenium. (-)-gamma-Tocotrienol is suggested for use in various cosmetics and personal care applications.
