Vitamin E-400 | 100% Natural

Vitamin E belongs to a family of 8 antioxidant compounds consisting of four tocopherols: alpha, beta, gamma and delta and 4 tocotreinols: also alpha, beta, gamma and delta.

Natural vs. Synthetic

The most potent, natural form of vitamin E is d-alpha-tocopherol which is superior to the synthetic version, dl-alpha-tocopherol. Natural vitamin E supplement labels must express 100% natural on the label to ensure potency.

Natural vitamin E supplements are believed to be superior to synthetic vitamin E supplements in many ways. Natural vitamin E:

• Has a higher bioavailability rate/synthetic is only 67% as active
• Remains longer in body tissues/synthetic is excreted 3 times faster
• Is made from natural vegetable oils/some synthetics made from petrochemicals
• Is recognized by the body

Natural Vitamin E in the Body 

The most common form of vitamin E found in foods is gamma-tocopherol even though the body utilizes alpha-tocopherol much more effectively. Alpha-tocopherol can be measured in the blood lipoproteins in approximately ten time higher amounts than gamma-tocopherol.

Vitamin E prevents cell damage in the body by inhibiting the oxidation of lipids, fats and the formation of free radicals. Vitamin E works in cooperation with vitamin C to neutralize free radicals and protects other fat-soluble vitamins from being destroyed by oxidation.

Heart Health

The general consensus in the medical profession tells us there is a connection between vitamin E and heart health. Adding vitamin E to fats and oils prevents them from becoming rancid and gives them antioxidant properties. Oxidation of fats is a key factor in the formation of plaque adhering to blood vessel walls.

Other ways natural vitamin E protects heart health:

• Prevents the cells’ protective coatings from becoming rancid by attacking free radicals
• Improves oxygen utilization

Vitamin E’s Other Health Contributions

Protecting the heart is just one of vitamin E’s contributions to health.  Vitamin E plays a part in many other aspects of our well-being.

Vitamin E’s powerful antioxidant properties may also enhance immune responses.

Our skin, hair and nails may show improvement from taking natural vitamin E. This may be seen in the form of:

• Healthy, glowing skin
• Shiny, strong hair
• Nails free from chipping and breaking

For optimal health results consume foods containing vitamin E along with a daily dose of a 100% natural vitamin E supplement.
