Summary
Gamma tocopherol (gt) is a naturally occurring form of vitamin E that is found in many foods,
and is also commercially available as a vitamin supplement. The purpose of this Phase 1
research study is to see if two doses of gt, 600mg and 1200mg, are safe (do not cause
gastrointestinal distress or other problems), and can cause changes in your blood levels of
gt and other antioxidants. This study will also examine if there is a difference in response
between asthmatic and non-asthmatic adults when taking the same dose of gt. Phase 1 research
studies like this one are not intended to be a treatment, but are a scientific investigation.
