Natural Factors Clear Base Vitamin E 400 IU, 60 Softgels

How Vitamin E Supports Your Health

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect your body's cells from oxidative stress. This makes it valuable for maintaining cardiovascular health, supporting immune function, and promoting healthy skin. For Canadians with active lifestyles or living in urban environments, getting enough vitamin E can be an important part of a wellness routine.

• Antioxidant protection – helps neutralize free radicals that can damage cells
• Cardiovascular health – supports healthy blood vessels and heart function
• Immune support – helps maintain your body’s natural defences
• Skin health – contributes to skin cell integrity and moisture retention

Natural vs. Synthetic Vitamin E – Why It Matters

Not all vitamin E is the same. Natural vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) comes from plant oils and is more bioavailable than synthetic dl-alpha-tocopherol. Research shows natural vitamin E is retained longer in tissues and has greater antioxidant activity. Natural Factors uses only natural d-alpha tocopherol, and adds mixed tocopherols (beta, delta, gamma) for a broader spectrum of antioxidant activity, similar to what you’d find in whole foods.

How to Choose the Right Vitamin E Supplement

When picking a vitamin E product, focus on purity, form, and sourcing. Look for:

• Natural d-alpha tocopherol – check for “d-alpha” on the label, not “dl-alpha”
• Mixed tocopherols – for a complete antioxidant profile
• Non-GMO and organic – ensures No synthetic pesticides or genetic modification
• Third-party testing – verified for contaminants and potency
• Reputable manufacturing – facilities that control the process from farm to capsule

Natural Factors meets all these standards, with their own organic farms and manufacturing facilities.

What Makes Natural Factors Vitamin E Unique

Natural Factors Clear Base Vitamin E provides 400 IU per serving (two softgels) from natural d-alpha tocopherol, plus a balanced blend of mixed tocopherols. It comes from certified organic farms and is made in the company’s own softgel facility. Every batch is third-party tested for over 800 contaminants using mass spectrometry, ensuring a non-GMO, high-quality product.

Recommended Dosage and Usage

Take two softgels daily with a meal that contains fat for best absorption. The recommended dietary allowance for adults is 15 mg (about 22 IU), but higher doses are often used for antioxidant support. The tolerable upper intake level is 1,000 IU per day for adults. Always follow the dosage on the label and consult a healthcare professional before exceeding recommended amounts.

Safety and Precautions

Vitamin E is generally safe when taken as directed. High doses (above 1,000 IU daily) may interact with blood-thinning medications such as warfarin. If you are on anticoagulant therapy or have a bleeding disorder, consult your healthcare provider before use. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place.
