Epidemiologic studies have shown an inverse correlation between acute coronary events and high intake of dietary vitamin E. Recent clinical studies, however, failed to show any beneficial effects of alpha-tocopherol on cardiovascular events. Absence of tocopherols other than alpha-tocopherol in

Some studies have shown potential benefit of vitamin E on platelet function, but several clinical trials failed to show improved cardiovascular outcome with alpha-tocopherol supplementation. Gamma-tocopherol, a major dietary form of vitamin E, may have protective properties different from those
