Collectively, tocopherols are known as vitamin E and are found in vegetable oils and plant-based foods in general. The most important of these is α tocopherol (d-alpha-tocopherol), as it is characterized by better absorption and bioavailability and in this form the majority of clinical studies have been conducted.
Vitamin E is one of the most important vitamins as it contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Its primary role is to fight free radicals. Free radicals are either created in the body as a byproduct of normal metabolic processes or come from external factors such as air pollution, smoking, etc. Excess free radicals lead to oxidative stress that damages cells and can cause various diseases.
