 Overview

Vitamin E was discovered in 1922 in green leafy vegetables, but has only recently gained recognition as a powerful antioxidant that may play a vital role in protecting the body from many chronic disorders. Vitamin E is fat-soluble and poorly absorbed. It is stored in the fat tissues and the liver. Vitamin E offers numerous health benefits, particularly disease prevention because of its powerful antioxidant properties. Vitamin E is a term for a group of related compounds called "tocopherols" and "tocotrienols", which occur in four major forms: alpha, beta, delta, and gamma. Alpha tocopherol is the most common and most biologically active form of Vitamin E.

 

Vitamin E is necessary for structural and functional maintenance of the skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle membranes. Vitamin E also assists in the formation of red blood cells and helps to maintain Vitamins A and K, Iron, and Selenium and increases the storage of each of these in the body.

 

Although Vitamin E is the most common vitamin found in nature, it is often lacking in processed foods. The majority of foods that provide Vitamin E are high in fat, so supplementation is an excellent option for anyone seeking the numerous benefits of Vitamin E without a fatty diet.

 

Our Vitamin E 200 IU is derived from soybean oil and is available in 60 count softgels.
