Solgar Natural Source Vitamin E 1000 IU uses d-alpha tocopherol, plus mixed tocopherols to provide this high-absorbtion formula. As it is in a softgel form, this supports the absorption and also provides the recommended daily intake, in just one softgel.
Vitamin E has been shown to protect the cells from free radicals and oxidative stress, and in the d-alpha tocopherol form, it has been shown to be 1.3 times more bioavailable than synthetic forms.
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and can naturally be found in nuts, nut oils, olive oil, green leafy vegetables and avocados. It is an essential nutrient as it is the primary antioxidant which contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are formed when we convert our food into energy, or when we are exposed to air pollution and ultraviolet light from the sun. In addition, the body needs Vitamin E to support the immune system. Eating a healthy balanced diet should bring you to sufficient levels of vitamin E but unfortunately the diets of most people do not reach this.
