Natural vs. Synthetic Vitamin E
Not all vitamin E is created equal. Natural vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) is more biologically active and better retained by the body compared to synthetic forms (dl-alpha-tocopherol). This product uses only natural d-alpha-tocopherol, ensuring maximum potency and absorption. The inclusion of mixed tocopherols—gamma, delta, and beta—provides a broader antioxidant network that mirrors the vitamin E complex found in whole foods.
