Executive Summary
VITAMIN E SUPPLEMENTS AS EFFECTIVE IN SLOWING LDL OXIDATION AS A COMBINATION regimen containing vitamin E, vitamin C and beta carotene, according to a study published in the December issue of the American Heart Association journal Circulation. The study researchers, Ishwarlal Jialal, MD, and Scott Grundy, MD/PhD, University of Texas, Southwestern Medical Center, concluded that "combined supplementation with ascorbate [vitamin C], beta carotene, and alpha-tocopherol [vitamin E] is not superior to high-dose alpha-tocopherol alone in inhibiting oxidation" of low- density lipoprotein.
