Whole Food Vitamin E vs. Natural Tocopherols

Vitamin E complex, now there’s another point. The tocopherols are antioxidants which protect the whole organic complex, but the active principle in the E Complex is not the tocopherol, it’s the hormone precursors that are found in the green leaf and in the wheat germ oil. Those are the vital factors. So that when you use a purified vitamin, you’re only getting a part of it and it may not be the important part. When you use a synthetic, it’s the same thing, it’s that much worse than the refined because same difference as between a synthetic alcohol and purified grain alcohol.

The vitamin E in the heart provides the hormone precursors that support the endocrine system and the endocrine system regulates capillary circulation. It’s a very complex mechanism. I don’t want to go into the physiology of it all here but in tests at the University of Illinois they fed natural wheat germ oil to a group of sixty-five year old and over professors and were able to increase their physical endurance several hundred percent. In other words, their muscular ability and their endurance in riding a bicycle fifteen minutes when he started out without getting tired he could ride it for two hours after a little….few days or weeks on wheat germ oil. It’s very vital thing in maintaining physical endurance. It’s got a lot to do with storage of carbohydrates.
