A mixture of vitamin E tocotrienols and alpha-tocopherol may work synergistically to improve liver health in lab animals with non-alcoholic steatohepatits (NASH), the most extreme form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). <\/p>\n
Writing in the Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition, researchers from the Kanagawa Institute of Technology and Eisai Food & Chemical Co. in Japan report results of their investigations into how supplementing the diet of steatohepatitic rats with a mixture of d-mixed-tocotrienols and alpha-tocopherol may benefit liver health. <\/p>\n
Eisai Food & Chemical Co provided the vitamin E analogs used in the study. <\/p>\n
Results showed that supplementation of combined full spectrum d-mixed tocotrienols and alpha-tocopherol improved biomarkers of liver health, compared with lab animals that received alpha-tocopherol-only or d-mixed tocotrienol-only. <\/p>\n
The researchers concluded that tocotrienol and alpha-tocopherol exert a potent synergistic effect in improving NASH. <\/p>\n
Supporting liver health <\/p>\n
The studys findings were welcomed by Mr. WH Leong, Vice President of Carotech Inc. This study shows us that taking both natural full spectrum tocotrienol complex and alpha-tocopherol together help to synergistically improve NASH and support healthy liver, he said. <\/p>\n
The combination of alpha-tocopherol and d-mixed tocotrienols work synergistically and exert better protection for liver, than the standalone pure alpha-tocopherol and pure mixed-tocotrienol. <\/p>\n
In addition, human study published in the Journal of Nutritionin 2012 showed that tocotrienols (Tocomin SupraBio capsules with d-mixed tocotrienols and alpha-tocopherol) improved liver disease score (MELD Score) in patients with end stage liver disease. <\/p>\n

The rest is here: A mixture of vitamin E tocotrienols and alpha-tocopherol may work synergistically to improve liver health in lab animals with non-alcoholic steatohepatits (NASH), the most extreme form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
