Hi Lar,
I used to feel good just taking the d alpha VitE type, but I used to only take it occaionally.My problem seemed to be when I stared on fish oil..then lernt that I had to take VitE with it.
Now fish oil was best taken with a fatty meal..in my case often meat...like say a steak.
Also on iron supps, its best taken too with meat, just think it probably is better taken with a natural souce of iron .. and also has to be taken away from thyroid meds and away from calcium..
so took iron with my steak or main meal too (not good on an empty stomach even if ya can juggle it into the 24hrs)So I ended up taking with E with the iron(ferrous gluconate liquid)..
then last week I read
The unesterified forms of tocotrienols, as well as tocopherols, are susceptible to oxidation and should therefore be stored in tightly closed, opaque containers in a cool, dry place. Tocotrienols should not be taken concomitantly with iron supplements
Iron: Most iron supplements contain the ferrous form of iron. This form can oxidize tocotrienols, marketed in their unesterified forms, to their pro-oxidant forms if taken concomitantly
http://www.pdrhealth.com/drug_info/nmdrugprofiles/nutsupdrugs/toc_0254.shtmlSo I guess one can't take iron and fish oil near each other either, if you take vitE with the fish oil at least..and who knows maybe iron oxidases fish oil too?
It gets more complicated the more you look at it.I don't think that I completely drained all other forms of VitE..as we still get VitE from food sources as well, albeit not as much http://www.tocotrienol.org/sources.htm
For all Aussies..
I tried ordering the only brand of mixed VitE apparently available in Oz(Thompsons)that I could find..it is advertised in correctly on their website and on its distributors website and you get told the wrong info on phoning due to this..had to return it yesterday...mostly alpha ..and higher doses of selenium than stated tooJan
