Could Nanotechnology Make Vitamin E Therapeutically Effective?

Tamura T, Otulakowski G, Kavanagh BP

Abstract

Vitamin E (VitE) has important antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and is necessary for normal physiological fuction. α-Tocopherol (α-T), the predominant form of VitE in human tissues, has been extensively studied, yet therapeutic trials of VitE have been uniformly negative. We postulate that a nanoparticle approach might provide effective delivery and therapeutic effect.
