Health Benefits of Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect your body's cells from oxidative stress. By neutralizing free radicals, it supports immune function, skin vitality, and eye health. Each softgel delivers 400 IU of dl-alpha tocopherol, a well-studied synthetic form that provides reliable antioxidant support at an affordable price. Adding vitamin E to your daily routine may promote overall wellness.

Natural vs. Synthetic Vitamin E: What's the Difference?
This product contains dl-alpha tocopherol, the synthetic form of vitamin E. Natural vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) comes from plant oils and is more bioavailable, but synthetic versions are equally effective for general antioxidant support and are cost-efficient. For most people, dl-alpha tocopherol is an excellent choice. If you prefer natural, look for "d-alpha" on labels.
Recommended Use
For optimal absorption, take one softgel daily with a meal that contains fat—such as breakfast or dinner. Vitamin E is fat-soluble, so food enhances uptake. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Each softgel provides 400 IU, within the safe range for general supplementation. The tolerable upper intake level for adults is 1,000 IU per day. Consistency is key to experiencing the benefits.
Safety Information
Vitamin E is generally safe at recommended doses. However, high doses (above 1,000 IU daily) may increase bleeding risk, particularly for those on blood thinners like warfarin or aspirin. Consult your healthcare provider before use if you have a bleeding disorder, are on medication, or are pregnant or nursing. Discontinue if adverse reactions occur. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
