Famil E contains all eight members of the vitamin E family, known as tocopherols and tocotrienols. These “Toco’s” —- 4 forms of tocopherols and 4 forms of tocotrienols, typically found concentrated in plant seeds and vegetable oils — are combined with the cardiovascular nutrients lutein and pantethine. familE is specifically rich in Gamma tocopherol and tocotrienols (Tocomin) for enhanced antioxidant and cardiovascular function. Excess d-Alpha tocopherol depletes Gamma tocopherol. familE is fortified with a molecular distillate of palm fruit oil, providing the most potent and comprehensive tocotrienol complex. familE protects cardiovascular function by reducing the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins. Squalene is naturally found in the liver and is a building block for hormones. Lutein is a xanthophyll (oxygenated carotenoid) that occurs in nature with zeaxanthin, a closely related carotenoid. An experimental study indicates that lutein protects vascular health by inhibiting monocyte migration into the arterial cells. Pantethine (Pantesin) is the stable disulfide form of pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5), and it is the physiological coenzyme A precursor in the Krebs cycle. Pantethine supports lipid metabolism by its ability to raise levels of CoA, a cofactor involved in several metabolic pathways including carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
