One serving of canned carrot juice has a sizeable amount of Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol 2.7 mg 14%dv) I like to drink fresh carrot juice several times a week (3-5 carrots) and I would think this has an even higher vitamin e content.

Would the amount of tocopherol in the juice inhibit any benefits from the TOCO 8 supplement? I read on one of these posts that tocopherol inhibits tocotreinol

If so, would taking them hours apart make any difference?

I appreciate any answers

That doesn't seem like enough to pose problem. On a side note, sesame seeds have been shown to enhance the absorption of tocotrienols.

J87X, based on what I have read, it would not be possible.

mj & others, I am finding that tocotrienols (Toco-8, in particular) are more effective when taken at a different time from the curcumin/resveratrol combination. For example, resveratrol/curcumin in the morning and tocotrienols in the evening, or vice versa.

The Natural Internal Regimen:

curcumin

resveratrol

tocotrienols

MSM

vitamin C
