Tocotrienols
are the other half of the Vitamin E family; tocotrienols are the unsaturated
form of Vitamin E, whilst tocopherols are the saturated form. Tocotrienols
possess similar basic structure to tocopherols, differing only by the presence
of 3 double bonds in the isoprenoid tail instead of a saturated phytyl
tail. Both tocopherols and tocotrienols occur in four isoforms: alpha, beta,
gamma and delta, each with a slightly different structure and beneficial
biological functions.
