Why is there no daily value listed for the tocotrienols in DAKE?Updated 21 days ago
The established daily value for Vitamin E is based entirely on alpha-tocopherol, which is the form the original reference intakes were built around. Tocotrienols are a distinct class of compounds with their own research base, and no official daily value has been set for them independently. The asterisk on the label simply reflects that regulatory reality — not that the dose is arbitrary or untested. The 50 mg dose in DAKE aligns with the range used in clinical research on tocotrienol activity.
