Natural vs. Synthetic Vitamin E

Understanding the difference between natural and synthetic vitamin E is crucial when choosing a supplement. Natural vitamin E, listed as d-alpha-tocopherol, comes from plant sources and has a molecular structure that your body can use more efficiently. Synthetic vitamin E, labelled dl-alpha-tocopherol, is made in a laboratory and contains a mixture of eight stereoisomers, only one of which is identical to the natural form. Research indicates that natural vitamin E is absorbed twice as effectively as synthetic forms. NOW Foods use only natural d-alpha-tocopherol, ensuring you receive the most bioavailable form of this essential nutrient.

Key Benefits of Vitamin E

As a major antioxidant, vitamin E neutralises free radicals formed during normal metabolism and from environmental exposures. This activity helps maintain cellular health throughout the body.*

• Cell Protection: Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, supporting overall health.*
• Skin Health: By defending skin cells from oxidative damage, vitamin E helps maintain normal skin condition.*
• Circulatory Support: Vitamin E helps protect blood vessels from oxidative stress, contributing to a healthy cardiovascular system.*

These benefits are especially important as part of a balanced lifestyle that includes a nutritious diet and regular exercise.

How to Use Vitamin E Softgels

For best results, take one softgel daily with a meal containing fat, as vitamin E is fat-soluble and requires dietary fat for optimal absorption. The 400 IU dosage is a common and effective amount for general antioxidant support. If you are taking blood-thinning medications or have a medical condition, consult your health care provider before use.

What Makes This Vitamin E Supplement Different?

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that plays a vital role in protecting cells from oxidative stress. NOW Foods Vitamin E-400 IU delivers 400 IU of natural d-alpha-tocopherol per softgel—the form most readily recognised and utilised by the body. Unlike synthetic dl-alpha-tocopherol, natural d-alpha-tocopherol offers superior bioavailability and retention in tissues, making it a preferred choice for those seeking effective antioxidant support.*

Each softgel is plant-derived and designed for easy swallowing. With 250 softgels per bottle, this supplement provides months of consistent support for your daily wellness routine.
