Page Contents: Virtually everyone reading this has heard of vitamin E. In fact, many of you are likely taking it as a supplement, either in a multivitamin or on its own. But did you know that supplementing with the most common form of vitamin E, alpha-tocopherol, doesn’t improve health over the long term—and, in fact, can actually increase the risk of cancer and heart disease?  The good news is that thanks to a breakthrough discovery by scientists about 20 years ago, we now know of another form of vitamin E—called tocotrienols—which has far more potent health benefits and does NOT carry any of the long-term risks of tocopherols. Read on to learn more about how tocotrienols can help you stay healthy, avoid disease, and live a long life! A...

But is this a good idea? Are multivitamins really necessary? If so, who would benefit? And what should you look for in a multi? Those are exactly the questions I’ll answer in this article.
