Vitamin E

Vitamin E - What is it?

Vitamin E is our body’s most powerful antioxidant. In fact, Vitamin E’s primary function in the body is to protect against damage caused by oxygen free radicals. It also protects other key nutrients and polyunsaturated fats from oxidation.

Vitamin E has many other functions in the body. White blood cells require Vitamin E to function properly and if levels are low immunity can be compromised. Vitamin E is also important in the formation of red blood cells, which also require its presence to ensure efficient delivery of oxygen. Additionally, it plays an important role in other body processes including maintenance of the heart, reproductive system and skin.

Natural Vitamin E is found in many foods however, it can be easily destroyed by processing. Packaging, storage, preparation and cooking all contribute to Vitamin E degrading and eventually being lost from our food. Vitamin E supplements are the easiest way of ensuring you are not deficient in this key nutrient. This supplement is Vitamin E in its best form to ensure good absorption.

There are three types of Vitamin E. Synthetic forms called dl-alpha tocopherol, modified forms called tocopheryls and the natural form, d-alpha tocopherol. Synthetic and modified forms are usually far cheaper to produce, but natural vitamin E has a much higher absorption rate than the other forms. Natural Vitamin E can exist in eight chemical forms alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol and alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocotrienol. Alpha tocopherol is considered to be the only form suitable for humans. Our d-alpha tocopherol is Vitamin E in its best natural form for easy absorption.
