What Makes Whole Food-Based Food Supplements Different?
Unlike standard multivitamins, whole food supplements such as Cataplex E2 are derived from concentrated food sources. The principle is that nutrients in their natural context—complete with cofactors and synergistic compounds—may be more effectively absorbed by the body. Standard Process has championed this philosophy since 1929, using whole foods and proprietary processing to maintain nutritional integrity. For example, the vitamin E in this formula comes from a mixture of tocopherols and tocotrienols, not just synthetic dl-alpha-tocopherol, potentially offering a broader range of antioxidant support.
What Is Standard Process Cataplex E2?
Cataplex E2 is a whole food-based dietary food supplement crafted to support cardiovascular health and cellular function.* It combines vitamin E and selenium—two key antioxidants that work together to protect cell membranes from oxidative damage.* Unlike many synthetic alternatives, the nutrients here are presented in a form that your body can recognise and use efficiently. It is also free from dairy and soy, making it suitable for those with dietary restrictions. Each bottle provides 90 tablets, a 45-day supply at the recommended intake of two tablets daily.
Key Nutrients for Cardiovascular and Cellular Wellbeing*
The combination of vitamin E and selenium in Cataplex E2 provides targeted nutritional support. Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, while selenium also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to the normal function of the heart.* These are EFSA-approved health claims. The whole food base may enhance bioavailability. Additionally, this formula is free from dairy and soy, catering to various dietary needs.
-
Vitamin E: A fat-soluble antioxidant that helps shield cell membranes from free radical damage.
-
Selenium: A trace mineral that works in tandem with vitamin E as part of the body's antioxidant defence system and is essential for selenoprotein production.
