Marshall, Apparently there is both a natural and synthetic form of alpha-tocopheryl. The d,l-alpha-tocopheryl is synthetic while d-alpha-tocopheryl is natural. See:
http://ods.od.nih.gov/FACTSHEETS/VITAMINE.ASP "Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that exists in eight different forms. Each form has its own biological activity, which is the measure of potency or functional use in the body [1]. Alpha-tocopherol (α-tocopherol) is the name of the most active form of vitamin E in humans. It is also a powerful biological antioxidant [2-3]. Vitamin E in supplements is usually sold as alpha-tocopheryl acetate, a form of alpha-tocopherol that protects its ability to function as an antioxidant. The synthetic form is labeled "D, L" while the natural form is labeled "D". The synthetic form is only half as active as the natural form [4]." - Steve N -----Original Message----- From: Marshall Dudley [mailto:mdud...@king-cart.com] Sent: Monday, April 06, 2009 8:33 AM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: Re: CS>turning blue Norton, Steve wrote: > > See: > http://www.eytonsearth.org/forum/about7.html > > A Cure for Argyria: The Formula > 3 Vitamin E 1000 mg 100% Natural d-alpha Tocopheryl > Huh? The tocopheryl is the non active synthetic artificial chemical. The active one, and the natural one is the tocopherol. Which one is it, the natural one, or the inactive tocopheryl one?
