Vitamin E 400 mg. D-Alpha Natural Source
Vitamin E is a mixture of several related compounds known as tocopherols. The a-tocopherol molecule is the most potent of the tocopherols. Vitamin E is absorbed from the intestines packaged in chylomicrons. It is delivered to the tissues via chylomicron transport and then to the liver through chylomicron remnant uptake. The liver can export vitamin E in VLDLs. Due to its lipophilic nature, vitamin E accumulates in cellular membranes, fat deposits and other circulating lipoproteins. The major site of vitamin E storage is in adipose tissue. The major function of vitamin
E is to act as a natural antioxidant by scavenging free radicals and molecular
oxygen. In particular vitamin E is important for preventing peroxidation of
polyunsaturated membrane fatty acids. The vitamins E and C are interrelated in
their antioxidant capabilities. Active a-tocopherol can be regenerated by
interaction with vitamin C following scavenge of a peroxy free radical.
Alternatively, a-tocopherol can scavenge two peroxy free radicals and then be
conjugated to glucuronate for excretion in the bile. One of the most potent antioxidants available, Vitamin E ; retards cellular aging due to oxidation; supplies oxygen to the blood which is then carried to the heart and other organs; thus alleviating fatigue; aids in bringing nourishment to cells; strengthens the capillary walls & prevents the red blood cells from destructive poisons; prevents & dissolves blood clots; has also been used by doctors in helping prevent sterility, calcium deposits in blood walls , heart conditions, and muscular dystrophy, Of the several types of Vitamin E, D-Alpha Tocopherol (100% Natural) is 4 times more potent in biological activity than dl- Alpha Tocopherol (Synthetic) Vitamin E.
