1 of 8 Forms of Vitamin E Kills Prostate Cancer Cells
Gamma tocopherol, a member of the vitamin E family, helps kill prostate cancer cells, according to a recent report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
In a study conducted at the Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute in California, the addition of gamma tocopherol to prostate cancer cell cultures not only inhibited cell proliferation but also caused cell death.
The vitamin E family comprises eight structurally related forms, all of which are potent antioxidants. They are alpha, beta, delta and gamma - tocopherols and tocotrienols. Alpha tocopherol is the most abundant form of vitamin E in the human body and in nutritional supplements, while gamma tocopherol dominates dietary sources.
