What is rrr-alpha-tocopherol?
Alpha-tocopherol is a version of vitamin E that contains no double bonds. When alpha-tocopherol is delivered to the liver via chylomicron reminants it binds to a binding protein to become rrr-alpha-tocopherol. RRR-alpha-tocopherol is incorporated into VLDL (very low density lipoproteins) membranes and is delivered to perpherial tissues and to LDL. RRR-alpha-tocopherol acts as an antioxidant to prevent polyunsaturated fatty acids from oxidation within VLDL and LDL. Without rrr-alpha-tocopherol oxidation of this fatty acids can occur and cause atherosclerosis.

Individuals can still experience allergic reactions to some tocopheryl esters or develop a rash and hives that may spread over the entire body from the use of topical products with alpha tocopheryl esters.Reduce scarringTopical use of Vitamin E is often claimed by manufacturers of skin creams and lotions to play a role in encouraging skin healing and reducing scarring after injuries such as burns on the basis of limited research, but the weak evidence of a benefit of silicon gel sheeting with or without added Vitamin E is limited by the poor quality of the research.
