Mixed Tocopherols vs. Synthetic Vitamin E

Not all vitamin E is created equal. Natural vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) is derived from plant oils and has roughly twice the bioavailability of synthetic forms (dl-alpha-tocopherol). NOW Foods uses mixed tocopherols, which include gamma-tocopherol – a form that provides unique antioxidant benefits not found in alpha-tocopherol alone. Gamma-tocopherol is particularly effective at neutralizing reactive nitrogen species, and mixed tocopherols better mimic the vitamin E complex found in whole foods.

What Makes NOW Foods Vitamin E-400 IU Unique?

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that plays a critical role in protecting your cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. NOW Foods Vitamin E-400 IU delivers a potent dose of 400 IU per softgel using natural mixed tocopherols derived from non-GMO soy. Unlike synthetic vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopherol), the natural d-alpha-tocopherol in this formula is better absorbed and retained by the body. The inclusion of gamma, delta, and beta tocopherols provides a broader spectrum of antioxidant activity, supporting overall cellular health*.

How to Incorporate NOW Vitamin E into Your Routine

Take one softgel daily with a meal that contains fat to enhance absorption. Each softgel provides 400 IU of natural vitamin E. The tolerable upper intake level for adults is 1,000 IU per day, so this dosage is well within safe limits for long-term use. If you are taking blood-thinning medications such as warfarin, consult your healthcare provider before adding vitamin E to your regimen, as high doses may increase the risk of bleeding. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
