Natural Factors Clear Base Vitamin E 400 IU, 60 Softgels

Why Natural Vitamin E Is Better Than Synthetic

Not all forms of vitamin E are equally effective. Natural vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol), derived from plant oils, is more bioavailable than its synthetic counterpart (dl-alpha-tocopherol). Research shows that natural vitamin E is retained longer in tissues and offers superior antioxidant activity. Natural Factors use only natural d-alpha-tocopherol and includes a balanced blend of mixed tocopherols (beta, delta, gamma), providing a broader spectrum of antioxidant protection that mimics the vitamin E complex found in whole foods.

How to Choose a High-Quality Vitamin E Supplement

When selecting a vitamin E supplement, focus on purity, form, and sourcing. Look for the following characteristics:

• Natural d-alpha tocopherol – check the label for “d-alpha” rather than “dl-alpha”
• Mixed tocopherols – for a complete antioxidant profile
• Non-GM and organic – ensures no synthetic pesticides or genetic modification
• Third-party testing – verified for contaminants and potency
• Reputable manufacturing – facilities that control the entire process from farm to capsule

Natural Factors meets all these criteria, with its own organic farms, extraction, encapsulation, and research facilities.

Recommended Dosage and Best Absorption

Each serving of two softgels provides 400 IU of natural vitamin E. As a fat-soluble vitamin, it is best absorbed when taken with a meal containing fat. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for adults is 15 mg (about 22 IU), but higher doses are often used for antioxidant support. The tolerable upper intake level is 1,000 IU per day for adults. Always follow the dosage on the label and consult a health care professional before exceeding recommended amounts.

Key Benefits of Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. This action helps maintain the integrity of cell membranes and supports healthy skin. A diet rich in vitamin E may also help maintain normal cardiovascular function. Key benefits include:

• Antioxidant protection – neutralises free radicals that can damage cells
• Cardiovascular support – helps maintain healthy blood vessels and heart function
• Skin health – contributes to skin cell integrity and moisture retention

Safety and Precautions

Vitamin E is generally safe when taken as directed. High doses (above 1,000 IU daily) may interact with blood-thinning medications such as warfarin. If you are on anticoagulant therapy or have a bleeding disorder, consult your health care provider before use. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place.
