There are eight naturally occurring forms of Vitamin E,
but one form in particular, alpha-tocopherol,
is the natural Vitamin E that performs the major
activities associated with this remarkable antioxidant.
The other seven forms of Vitamin E cannot meet the body's Vitamin E needs. In fact,
alpha-tocopherol is so potent that the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for Vitamin E is
based on the body's requirement for alpha-tocopherol specifically. The synthetic form, known
as dl-alpha-tocopherol, is less expensive and while beneficial, it does not compare to naturally
occurring alpha-tocopherol.
Alpha-tocopherol is the predominant form of Vitamin E found in almonds, safflower oil,
olive oil and soybean oil. The main sources of the most potent natural form of stable Vitamin
E are d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate.
Vitamin E is no longer available.

Additional information on Vitamin E...
Växa's Vitamin E is 100% natural d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate. This converts to alpha-tocopherol
most effectively in the body. It has the highest activity, and is the standard against
which all the others must be compared. It is the predominant isomer in plasma.
Internally, Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects cell membranes and other
fat-soluble parts of the body, such as LDL cholesterol, the 'bad' cholesterol, from oxidative
damage. Only when LDL cholesterol is damaged does it become a threat to the heart.
It also aids immune function. Vitamin E also stimulates the immune response.
"Oxidative stress" is the term used to describe the damage caused by free radicals,
which are unstable forms of oxygen. Free radicals are by-products of normal metabolism,
but they can be lethal to cells by destroying the important fats in the body. Vitamin E
is one of the most potent protectors against the oxidative stress your body faces every
day.
Vitamin E protects against oxidative damage to low-density lipoproteins (LDL), the
'bad' cholesterol. When LDLs are oxidized by free radicals, they become stickier and more
likely to clog arteries. It prevents blood
cells from sticking to each other and to the blood vessels through which they travel. Vitamin
E helps promote clear and flexible blood vessels that allow the passage of oxygen-rich blood
to your heart.
Externally, Vitamin E is healing and protective to the skin. It is an effective membrane
stabilizer that protects the skin from sun damage, reduces the appearance of fine facial
lines and wrinkles and generally improves skin smoothness. Växa's Vitamin E oil can be
directly applied to the skin to experience immediate benefit.
