Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin, so don’t take more than is prescribed on the packaging or prescribed by a practitioner. Being a fat soluble vitamin it can accumulate in the body, unlike water soluble vitamins that get flushed out in your urine.
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, protecting or delaying the onset of diseases associated with aging. A wonderful supplement for the skin. Vitamin E helps maintain a healthy heart and circulation by keeping the blood vessels walls clear and in good condition.
Vitamin E can help with hot flushes and dryness.
Nuts and seeds are a good source (it is very important not to eat roasted ones).
The difference between natural and synthetic vitamin E
Natural supplements are labeled d-alpha tocopherol, synthetic ones are labeled dl-alpha tocopherol. In studies the natural E vitamin was found to be one-third more potent and twice as effective, as the synthetic version.
Supplement – 400iu d-alpha tocopherol is a good daily maintenance dose.
