Natural Factors Vitamin E 400 IU offers naturally sourced vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that offers protection from free radicals and is important for the maintenance of good health. Vitamin E supports cardiovascular function by blocking the formation of compounds that can increase the risk for atherosclerosis.
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that is primarily known for its powerful antioxidant benefits. It helps protect cell membranes against damage caused by free radicals and prevents the oxidation of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, having a positive effect on the health of the cardiovascular system.
Vitamin E is necessary for the structural and functional maintenance of cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscles. It has been shown to improve blood flow and improve symptoms in people with poor circulation to the legs. Not only does it protect against internal oxidative damage, it also guards against external factors as well, such as the harmful effects of pollution, cigarette smoke, and ultraviolet light. Vitamin E is also important for the immune system so the body can fight off invading bacteria and viruses.
Natural Factors Vitamin E is naturally sourced and is in the d-alpha tocopherol acetate form; the most potent and bioavailable in comparison to its synthetic counterpart dl-alpha. This formula is a powerful antioxidant that protects fatty acids and proteins from oxidation, protects against cell damage, and helps speed tissue healing.
THE BENEFITS OF VITAMIN E ARE ENORMOUS ONLY IF YOU’RE TAKING NATURAL VITAMIN E!
Studies prove what the natural health industry has said all along. NATURAL Vitamin E is the only way to go! That’s right, not all vitamin E is equal. Only natural vitamin E delivers the results. It slows down the aging process, provides essential antioxidant support for the whole body and specific benefits for the heart, lungs, brain, eyes, skin.
ARE YOU TAKING SYNTHETIC VITAMIN E WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT?
With Natural Factors vitamin E, you need never worry. All our vitamin E products contain only the highest quality 100% natural vitamin E. With other vitamin E products, however, the easiest way to tell if it is natural or synthetic is by looking at the label. The name of a natural vitamin E is preceded by d-alpha. Synthetic (petroleum-based) vitamin E, on the other hand, has dl-alpha at the beginning of its name.
SO, WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH SHOW?
As the natural health industry has always said, all vitamin E is not the same! In different studies, including many at the Shute Institute, the health benefits of natural vitamin E were repeatedly proven. In these studies, only natural vitamin E was used.
More recently, certain studies have used both synthetic and natural E, resulting in contradictory and confusing results. In these studies, the benefits of the natural vitamin E may have counteracted the negative effects of the synthetic E.
