This 100% natural form of d-alpha- tocopherol vitamin E is the most potent, most effective form of natural vitamin E available. Natural vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant which may protect the heart while also eliminating free radicals, boosting the immune system and improving the condition of the skin, hair and nails.

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:

• Protect skin against damage from UV rays
• Enhance immune responses
• Have a role in the prevention of cataracts

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.
