Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and antioxidant found naturally in plant oils, nuts, seeds, and green leafy vegetables. The term vitamin E refers to a family of eight related compounds: four tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta) and four tocotrienols (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta), with alpha-tocopherol being the form most commonly used in standard supplements. Natural vitamin E is derived from vegetable oil sources and is designated d-alpha tocopherol, while synthetic vitamin E is designated dl-alpha tocopherol. Supplements in this collection range from standard d-alpha tocopherol capsules and softgels at strengths from 200 IU to 1000 IU, through to full-spectrum formulas providing all eight forms of vitamin E as tocopherols and tocotrienols, and mixed tocopherol complexes sourced from rice. Several products combine vitamin E with selenium, a mineral with which vitamin E has a recognised synergistic relationship as an antioxidant. Also available is a vitamin E oil suitable for both internal and topical use, alongside a range of topical vitamin E skincare products from Dr Organic, including cream, body lotion, shampoo, and conditioner. Products are available from brands including Cytoplan, Viridian, Lamberts, Solgar, Natures Aid, BioCare, G&G Vitamins, Mineral Check, Life Extension, and Dr Organic.
