Josian - I've combined both answers in this response...
On the vitamin E dosing…. It’s the high Gamma E tocopherol complex that is helpful for the antioxidant/protective property. I use 800 IU daily. The Gamma E should be the highest quantity listed on the label.
For benefit tocotrienols should be taken separately… Gamma E in the morning and tocotrienols at night because Gamma E lowers tocotrienol potency.
The tocotrienols are also antioxidants and target:
-Lowering elevated total and LDL cholesterol, triglyciderides and Apolipoprotein b
-Helps protect cell membranes and LDL from lipid peroxidation.
-Is neuroprotective and helps boost the immune system
-Research is finding a positive for tocotrienols lowering elevated CRP
Therapeutic doses of Tocotrienol is 100 mg daily away from Gamma E dosing.

Now on the other antioxidant dosing…
Antioxidants are ACES… vitamins A, C, E and (mineral) Selenium.
Separately I take at least 5,000 mg daily buffered vitamin C - plus all the C-containing food.
I take a combo antioxidant product which includes more than those vitamins…plus I get 200 mcg selenium in another combo product. I’ve recently added Astaxanthin - 12 mg daily.
I also use 300 mg of Ubiquinol which is a powerful antioxidant as well as Resveratrol (400 mg), Quercetin (200 mg)
