I thought you'd enjoy this article by Lara Pizzorno, MDiv, MA, LMT on Longevity Medicine Review:

http://www.lmreview.com/articles/view/beyond-tocopherol-a-review-of-natural-vitamin-es-therapeutic-potential-in-human-health-and-disease-part-II

In Part I of this article, evidence from a wide range of peer-reviewed research, including in vitro and in vivo studies, clinical and randomized controlled trials, epidemiological studies, meta-analyses and reviews, was presented. The case was made that while decreased chronic disease incidence is clearly associated with generous dietary intake of vitamin E (mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols), supplementation with high-dose α-tocopherol alone, whether natural (RRR) or synthetic (all-rac), may promote potentially harmful imbalances in inflammatory and detoxification pathways. Both outcomes—the consistently positive effects of a diet rich in vitamin E and the inconsistent outcomes of studies using α-tocopherol—result from the fact that each of the 8 isomers that collectively constitute vitamin E has unique actions that complement, support and balance one another. Part II of this article reviews recent research on both the unique and interactive nature of the vitamin E isomers' therapeutic actions, and the ratios in which the tocopherols and tocotrienols have been found to be most bioavailable and effective.
