NOW Foods E-400 Softgels with Mixed Tocopherols

Why Choose NOW Foods Vitamin E?

Discover E-400-Sg — NOW Foods has a reputation for quality, and their E-400 Softgels are no exception. With natural d-alpha-tocopherol and a full spectrum of mixed tocopherols, this supplement offers a convenient way to incorporate vitamin E into your daily routine.*

What Is NOW Foods E-400 with Mixed Tocopherols?

E-400 Softgels contain 400 IU of natural d-alpha-tocopherol, the most biologically active form of vitamin E, along with mixed tocopherols. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble nutrient that plays an important part in protecting cells from oxidative stress. As an essential nutrient, it supports various bodily functions, and each soft gel capsule makes it easy to meet your daily intake.*

Natural vs. Synthetic Vitamin E: Why It Matters

Not all vitamin E supplements are the same. Natural vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) is derived from vegetable oils and is more efficiently used by the body than synthetic versions (dl-alpha-tocopherol). Research shows that natural vitamin E is retained in tissues up to twice as effectively as synthetic forms. This product uses only natural d-alpha-tocopherol, ensuring optimal utilisation, and the addition of mixed tocopherols provides other naturally occurring compounds that contribute to overall antioxidant activity.*

How Does Vitamin E Support Your Health?

Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which are produced during normal metabolism and as a result of environmental factors like pollution and UV light.* By neutralising these free radicals, vitamin E helps maintain cellular integrity and supports normal function.*

In addition, vitamin E contributes to the normal function of the immune system. Adequate intake is particularly important as we age, helping to maintain immune defence.* The inclusion of mixed tocopherols in this formula provides complementary antioxidant protection throughout the body.*

What Makes Mixed Tocopherols Unique?

Most vitamin E supplements contain only alpha-tocopherol, but the vitamin E family includes several related compounds. The mixed tocopherols in this product deliver a variety of tocopherols with distinct antioxidant properties, helping to maintain a balanced antioxidant network throughout the body.*

Recommended Dosage and Usage

Each soft gel capsule provides 400 IU of natural vitamin E (as d-alpha-tocopherol). The recommended serving is one soft gel capsule daily. For best absorption, take with a meal containing fat, as vitamin E is fat-soluble. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless advised by a health care professional. Exceeding the recommended intake may increase the risk of bleeding, particularly for individuals on blood-thinning medication.

Always consult your doctor before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have a medical condition or are taking medication.

Precautions and Safety Information

Vitamin E is generally safe at recommended doses. However, because it can have a mild blood-thinning effect, those taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications (such as warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel) should seek medical advice before uses. Individuals with vitamin K deficiency or a history of bleeding disorders should also consult a health care professional.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a medical condition, speak with a doctor before taking this product. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed.
