Dear Langsley,
                        My apologies, if I have lead you to believe the
tocotrienol fraction of the vitamin E complex is not useful as a general health
support.  Tocotrienol is claimed---by a number of qualified researchers---to be
eminently more powerful than d-alpha tocopherol (50 to 60 times more powerful).
While we have not conducted parallel efficacy tests in this area, we do have one
staff member who is a fan of Dr. David G. Williams, founder and editor of  the
"Alternatives" periodical.....and he claims that William's staff has verified
the great superiority of the tocotrienol form.  Additionally, he tells me that
tocotrienol has a very powerful synergistic effect on d-alpha
itself......therefore, one would be well-served to consider taking "both" types,
simultaneously.
                                    Sincerely,  Brooks Bradley.
