Summary

"In the current literature, more than 95% of all studies of vitamin E are directed toward the specific exploration of the bioactive component [alpha]-tocopherol. Until recently, there has been a dearth of research into non-tocopherol vitamin E molecules. A unique resource that examines the newest developments in this area, Tocotrienols: Vitamin E Beyond Tocopherols focuses on the lesser-known vitamin E compound known as tocotrienol."--BOOK JACKET.
