Vitamin E Natural 400 I.U. by Vitamin Discount Center - 100 Softgels

Vitamin E is the term used for the family of eight compounds that possess vitamin E activity. The eight compounds are alpha, beta, gamma and delta tocopherol and tocotrienol. Vitamin E represents the body?s major fat-soluble antioxidant. This means that it works effectively in parts of the body where lipids (fats) are located, such as the cell membrane, where it helps protect the fats in the membrane from free radical damage. Protecting the cell membrane is critical for maintaining the overall health of all body cells. Vitamin E also helps support healthy immune and cardiovascular function. All vitamin E from Reliance is natural vitamin E. Synthetic vitamin E is not the same as natural and has significantly less biological activity. While d-alpha is the most well known and most researched member of the vitamin E ?family?, gamma-tocopherol possesses unique characteristics that complement the biological effects of alpha-tocopherol. This formula contains a high amount of alpha-tocopherol along with smaller amounts of beta, gamma and delta-tocopherol for a synergistic effect.
