What are the differences between Tocotrienol, Tocopherol and Tocopheryl?
All tocotrienol, tocopherol and tocopheryl belong to the vitamin E family. Tocopheryl is usually expressed as the ester form of tocopherol, and those ester forms include acetate, succinate and nicotinate. Both tocotrienols and tocopherols derivatives have different isomers that belong to vitamin E. Some researchers suggest that tocotrienols are more potent in their anti-oxidation and anti-cancer effect than the common forms of tocopherol due to the significant differences in their chemical structures.
