Vitamin E supplementVitamin E - 30 Capsules

Antioxidants are generally divided into two broad categories: water-soluble (hydrophilic) and fat-soluble (hydrophobic).

Your body needs both water-soluble and fat-soluble antioxidants because each targets different types of cells and tissues where free radical removal occurs.

• Water-soluble antioxidants - are present in aqueous fluids like blood and intracellular and extracellular fluids. They react with oxidants in the cell cytosol (the liquid part of the cytoplasm) and blood plasma. Examples of water-soluble antioxidants include vitamin C, glutathione, and catechins.

• Fat-soluble antioxidants - are located in cell membranes and lipoproteins. They protect cell membranes from lipid peroxidation. Examples of fat-soluble antioxidants include vitamins E, A, and astaxanthin.

Conclusion: To combat and neutralise free radicals, you need a mix of both types of antioxidants from as many sources as possible. When taken together, the effectiveness of water-soluble and fat-soluble antioxidants is further enhanced.

And when it comes to fat-soluble antioxidants, Dr. Mercola believes that vitamin E is very important in your daily dietary regimen.

Remember, when considering any dietary supplement, it's essential to carefully examine natural and organic ingredients.

There's also another key factor to consider. And that is: how do the individual ingredients within the formulation interact? How well-balanced is the formula to help you benefit the most?

When it comes to natural vitamin E, you may recall that there is more than one compound other than just alpha-tocopherol. There are a total of eight natural compounds; more specifically:

• Tocopherols:
  Alpha, beta, gamma, and delta

• Tocotrienols:
  Alpha, beta, gamma, and delta

If you're serious about supplementing vitamin E and avoiding synthetic preparations, it's essential to obtain a balanced ratio of all eight nutrients in the dietary supplement you take as a dietary supplement.

Unfortunately, most research studies and supplement manufacturers focus only on alpha-tocopherol. This means that many have completely overlooked the importance of a balanced vitamin E composition.

If a vitamin E dietary supplement contains only alpha-tocopherol (synthetic or natural), there's another critical issue. If your body is flooded with high amounts of alpha-tocopherol, it can potentially deplete other tocopherols and tocotrienols from your body.

In the case of tocotrienols, the problem is that despite their potentially health-beneficial effects, scientific literature on these compounds makes up only about 1% of the total literature on vitamin E.

Nevertheless, the scientific community has begun to awaken to the potential benefits of tocotrienols. Here are just a few examples of potential health benefits and reasons why I ensured that tocotrienols are part of my vitamin E formulation.

Tocotrienols (alpha, beta, delta, and gamma) potentially:

• Help support normal cholesterol levels.

• Protect against free radical damage and common effects of ageing.

• Support brain health (in combination with tocopherols).

With all four tocotrienols in Dr. Mercola's vitamin E dietary supplement, you can be confident that this product is one of the best you can find.

Recommended dosage: Adults take one (1) capsule daily as a dietary supplement.
