About Vitamin E

This presentation covers important milestones in vitamin E research and discusses alpha-tocopherol interference with tocotrienol functions. Tocotrienol’s anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties will be examined in cardiometabolic disease and NAFLD, cellular health, the aging bone.

How much Vitamin E should you get each day? And how should you get it? Read on to learn more about this important antioxidant and how dietary changes and supplements can address potential deficiencies.

Because of that decision only the alpha-tocopherol portion of a Vitamin E product is considered “Vitamin E,” so, the I.U. content of Vitamin E supplements generally refers to only alpha-tocopherol. But recent research shows that the whole family of Vitamin E isomers provides valuable health benefits. 

A Vitamin E overdose is called hypervitaminosis, and it can be fatal in very rare cases. It’s always best to consult with a physician before taking a Vitamin E supplement, and to be extremely careful in dosing accordingly.

We believe that a good tocotrienol supplement is one that has little to no tocopherol, and contains the most potent delta and gamma tocotrienol. It is also important that the concentration of tocotrienols — or tocopherols for that matter — be as high as possible to ensure the greatest purity and effectiveness.

Vitamin E is a lesser-known vitamin compared to A, B, C or D, but it’s an essential nutrient nonetheless. Your body needs Vitamin E to survive—it’s a free radical fighter that prevents oxidative stress from harming cells throughout the body.

Even though there’s no doubt that Vitamin E is important to a person’s overall health, many people don’t receive their recommended daily intake of this nutrient. Read on to get to know more about recommended daily doses—as well as safe amounts and upper tolerances—for Vitamin E.

Natural Vitamin E supplements outperform synthetic forms, according to a VERIS Research Summary. Results of recent studies suggest that natural Vitamin E is more bioavailable and is retained in body tissues significantly longer than synthetic Vitamin E. These studies show that previously accepted differences were underestimated and that the bioavailability of natural Vitamin E is about twice that of synthetic Vitamin E compounds.

Wondering if you’re getting enough vitamins and minerals in your diet each day? When it comes to Vitamin E in particular, the answer is likely, no. Most people don’t get enough Vitamin E from diet alone, but rarely do they reach the level of deficiency. For those who do experience Vitamin E deficiency, the consequences can have an impact on your everyday life.
