CAS, the global leader in chemical information, and a division of the American Chemical Society, provides the most comprehensive databases of disclosed research in chemistry and related sciences, including the world's largest collection of substance information, the CAS REGISTRY^SM.

CAS makes this information available to researchers through SciFinder and STN, the best search and retrieval tools for scientists and information professionals. 

Taking Vitamin E for Disease Prevention?  Which Isomer?

A recent study found that long-term supplementation with the alpha-tocopherol isomer of vitamin E did not prevent heart attacks and stroke in men.  While there is significant justification for studying this isomer, there is a wealth of information in the CAS databases, available with SciFinder and STN, that suggests other isomers may be effective in disease prevention.
