Vitamin EWhat Is Vitamin E? Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant. Vitamin E benefit is that it is effective in preventing the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Vitamin E is helpful in the prevention of oxidation in the lungs. Vitamin E protects white and red blood cells, helping the body's immune system Why Is Our Vitamin E Better? All Vitamin E is either produced from natural sources (soybeans) or it is synthesized from petroleum. Natural Vitamin E (non-petroleum) has 3-5 times the potency of synthetic Vitamin E.8 Both of our Vitamin E products are natural E, consisting of your choice of either mixed tocopherols or strictly d-Alpha tocopherols. Only d-Alpha tocopherols are stored in the fatty tissues of the body and provide ongoing antioxidant protection.9 Combine with selenium (make sure it's selenomethionine) for an outstanding heart smart addition to your supplement regimen! Who Should Consider Vitamin E? Vitamin E has received important recent attention with the release of two important Harvard Medical School studies which showed that the addition of 100IU or more of vitamin E per day resulted in a reduction by 40% of the risk of heart disease.1 In these studies, 125,000 health care professionals who did not have heart disease were followed for up to eight years. The addition of at least 400IU to 800IU per day has been shown to reduce the oxidation of blood lipids,2,3 which would otherwise result in the build-up known as atherosclerosis. Vitamin E is also a powerful antioxidant who's antioxidant properties are enhanced by adding other antioxidants (selenium is a particularly good companion, as the combination produces glutathione peroxidase, an excellent antioxidant, protection from atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease.4) This fact alone makes the addition of a Vitamin E supplement to your diet a good idea. If prevention of heart disease doesn't appeal to you, maybe this does: vitamin E deficiency can result in an increase of ceroid pigment deposits on the skin: age-spots. The Lancet recently released in a widely popularized study that lack of Vitamin E was a more consistent predictor of heart disease than high cholesterol levels! The Lancet, one of the world's top medical journals, published their study (a randomized, placebo-controlled double-blind study) in their March 23, 1996 issue, results that indicated low levels of Vitamin E to be predictive of heart attacks 62% of the time, while high cholesterol was predictive only 29% of the time.7 Related Articles
