In a study of older adults with a mean age of 70 years, supplementation with 200 mg/day of all-rac-alpha-tocopherol (equivalent to 100 mg of RRR-alpha-tocopherol) for three months significantly improved natural killer (NK) cytotoxic activity, neutrophil chemotaxis, phagocytic response, mitogen-induced lymphocyte proliferation, and interleukin-2 (IL-2) production compared to baseline.
