What do guys consider the optimal dosage of tocopherols and tocotrienols.

I take a half dose of ortho core and am considering getting extra mixed E vitamers to boost me up to the full ortho-core dosage. Anyone done any research to suggest that we need more (or less) than the full ortho-core dose?

Edit here is some good info on tocotrienol dosages:

http://www.tocotrien...ex/faqs.html#Q7
"Commercial dietary supplements currently offer daily supplementation of tocotrienols from 20-60mg for healthy adults. Dr Asaf Qureshi (University of Wisconsin – the first research scientist to show that tocotrienols found in barley have the ability to lower total serum cholesterol), in his article titled “The Mutitherapeutic Properties of Palm Oil and its Novel Vitamin E” quoted that daily intake of 34-42.5mg of pure tocotrienols obtained from palm oil will provide enough tocotrienols for all the health benefits associated with them."

It's pretty nebulous. A study found that 100 mg gamma, 40 mg delta, and 20 mg alpha was helpful.
