Now Foods E-400, 268 mg (400 IU), 50 Softgels

Why Choose Natural Vitamin E?

Vitamin E is a family of eight fat-soluble antioxidants, with d-alpha-tocopherol being the most biologically active form naturally found in vegetable oils. Unlike its synthetic counterpart (dl-alpha-tocopherol), natural vitamin E is more readily retained by the body and offers superior bioavailability. NOW Foods E-400 provides 400 IU of natural d-alpha-tocopherol, complemented by mixed tocopherols (beta, gamma, delta) for a broader spectrum of antioxidant support.

Key Health Benefits Approved by EFSA

Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, helping to neutralise free radicals generated through normal metabolism and environmental factors.* It also supports normal immune function, which is particularly important as we age.* Additionally, vitamin E helps maintain normal blood circulation by supporting the integrity of blood vessels.*

The Importance of Mixed Tocopherols

Including mixed tocopherols offers advantages beyond d-alpha-tocopherol alone. Gamma-tocopherol, in particular, has been studied for its ability to trap reactive nitrogen species, providing complementary protection. Choosing a natural mixed tocopherol supplement ensures you receive the full spectrum of vitamin E compounds as they occur in nature, which may offer synergistic benefits for overall health.

How to Take Your Vitamin E Supplement

As a fat-soluble vitamin, vitamin E is best absorbed when taken with a meal containing dietary fat. The recommended dietary allowance for adults is 15 mg (22.4 IU) per day, but higher doses such as 400 IU are commonly used for antioxidant support. One soft gel capsule daily provides 400 IU, which is well within the safe upper limit of 1,000 IU per day for adults. For best results, take consistently at the same time each day.

Safety and Precautions

Vitamin E is generally safe at recommended doses. However, 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 professional before uses. This product is non-GMO, vegan, and free from common allergens.
