Vitamin E helps support immune function, inhibit oxidation of LDL cholesterol, and provides antioxidant support against free radical damage to cell membranes.* Vitamin E supports healthy reproductive function and hormonal balance making it especially beneficial for women's health.* Studies show that supplementation with a combination of tocopherol isomers is superior to using one isomer alone
Key Benefits and actions of the Center for Optimum Health's Vitamin E :
Vitamin E and Free Radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules formed in the body as by-products of metabolism and exposure to environmental factors, including cigarette smoke and ultraviolet light. Vitamin E may aid in intercepting free radicals, stabilizing and protecting cell membranes and tissues sensitive to oxidation, such as the eyes, lungs, arteries, and skin.* Vitamin E scavenges free radicals and neutralizes them, to minimize damage to tissues and red blood cells.*
Vitamin E and Skin. Vitamin E supports healthy reproductive function and hormonal balance; it’s also vital for proper immune function, DNA repair and a whole host of other metabolic processes.* It helps regulate retinol (vitamin A) levels, which is essential for healthy skin, mucous membranes and proper vision, and it may support skin health such as recovery from acne scarring and the appearance of stretchmarks.*
Vitamin E, Heart and Arteries. Preliminary research has shown that vitamin E may be beneficial to cardiovascular health, most likely due to its ability to inhibit oxidation of cholesterol.* When cholesterol is oxidized, it turns into “bad” cholesterol. Vitamin E may support healthy blood flow.*
What makes the Center for Optmum Health's Vitamin E superior to other Vitamin E supplements on the market?
Contains 100% natural vitamin E: Scientific evidence suggests the natural form of vitamin E is more active and better absorbed than synthetic forms. The “d” form of vitamin E is natural, while the “dl” form is synthetic. For maximum benefit, this product is free of synthetic vitamin E.
Supplies all four vitamin E tocopherol isomers : Natural vitamin E occurs as d-alpha, d-beta, d-delta, and d-gamma forms called tocopherol isomers. Optimal Vitamin E contains all four natural tocopherol forms to deliver vitamin E’s full spectrum of antioxidant activity and non-antioxidant effects that favorably influence inflammatory responses and blood vessel formation.*
Provides potent amounts of d-alpha tocopherol: The d-alpha tocopherol form of vitamin E is the only form that is actively regulated and intentionally retained in the body. It helps balance inflammatory responses in white blood cells, regulates vascular tone, assists blood clotting mechanisms, and provides antioxidant support.*
Includes a high content of gamma-tocopherol: While most of the benefits of vitamin E were previously attributed to alpha-tocopherol, recent research has identified important benefits for gammatocopherol. Due to its different chemical structure, gamma-tocopherol can help scavenge both reactive nitrogen and oxygen species that can cause damage to proteins, lipids, and DNA. Research suggests it may also provide support for healthy cardiovascular and prostate function. Each Optimal Vitamin E softgel provides approximately 195 mg of gamma-tocopherol for broad physiological benefit.*
Hypoallergenic: Optimal Vitamin E has been specifically formulated to be highly bioavailable and is derived from highly refined soy oil. All traces of soy protein have been removed for maximum tolerance by those sensitive to soy. Optimal Vitamin E is also free of other common allergens including milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat/gluten, corn, and yeast.
