Tocopherol is a fat-soluble vitamin that is used by the human body to prevent blood clots. It also helps to scavenge free electrons and improve the immune system. This vitamin is also being researched for the treatment of complicated disorders. Various forms of tocopherol are produced by industrial and natural synthesis. Alpha-tocopherol (a-T) is the most common form of tocopherol in the human body. It is a fat-soluble compound that is dissolved in fats. Because of its strong antioxidant properties, it is a good natural anti-inflammatory agent. It is also a blood clot preventing substance that is found in high concentrations in the blood. Gamma-tocopherol is a form of tocopherol that has a higher metabolism than a-T. However, it has slightly lower anti-cancer properties. Nonetheless, it is the most commonly found isomer in the diet.
